Was Conor's jab that grazed Floyd's nose the most ridiculous strike ever thrown in pro boxing?

Judge for yourself:

Floyd had that boy shook.

 

[Okajima]

Doesn't help that Floyd was literally laughing at him.

Lulz....conor was sonned badly.

 

[ICEibuPROfen]

Conor is so goddamn ALPHA

 

[I and 250 others]

measuring distance obviously. he didn't commit.

 

[EL GOAT]

Conor is an embarrassment.

Good ol' SBG training. Hands low, no snap to your punches (especially the jab), flat footed, no cardio.

 

[RenegadeMMA]

Are y'all stupid...When that clip happened the jab Conor threw before this snapped Floyd's head back hence the reason Floyd starts smiling... Conor was just measuring distance with his hand.

anyway didn't seem like Conor was jabbing, more like gauging the distance

 

[Denis K]

Ya he was gauging the distance alright

...that doesn't make him look any better.

i'd say throwing a punch with literally zero power is worse than gauging the distance and touching his nose.

You mean throwing punches at the air to try and figure out what you're doing in a live pay-per-view professional boxing contest...while the other guy already knows it so well that he's literally laughing at you with his hands down?

I know, I'm explaining what you're claiming as an excuse.

BTW I added more detail.

i didn't say it as an excuse. the thread is about if this is the weakest punch ever, and i just said he was probably checking the distance and not throwing a jab with power.

point taken. i guess a case could be made, but i personally don't see it as such. it doesn't look good for sure.
