Watch some Mayweather highlights, like this. No offense to Mayweather because he is fast with good footwork, but the guys he is going against make Ivan Buchinger look like a K1 striker. The footwork of most of his opponents are just rubbish boxing "stand up straight" and "dont cut the ring off so Mayweather can counter me all day long". Can't see McGregor falling for this since he pushes the action in most of his fights and cuts the cage off well. Mayweather has had numerous split decision, scraping by victories that are embarrassing for the supposed GOAT of boxing. I hope Conor folds him in half.
Yes, Conor McGregor, who barely scraped by Nate Diaz, is better than those world championship level cans that Floyd has been fighting, no doubt. Welcome to Sherdog.
Yeah but he has that new FAST system he has been on since the Diaz loss. Pretty sure all of SBG realized their cardio training wasn't world class after that fight.
lol Conor comes in swing and gives everything he got, sure he looks cool for 1.5 rounds But doesnt work against elite fighters
Boxing is only a small part of MMA, so if you are big into MMA you are already a boxing expert. Welcome to sherdawg fool.
No you fool. If you've trained a single day in your life you'd know that boxing in MMA is not the same boxing as boxing the sport. You try to box the way do in MMA in a boxing match you will get KOd in the first round
You have that backwards fool. If you try to box like you do in boxing in MMA you are getting knocked out with that stupid stance and foot work. A MMA fighter going into boxing has a much longer stance and provided they are good will be less likely to get KOd. Do the MMAth you little boxing dweeb.
I can already see the speed difference. Conor will be eating at least three 1-2s before his left reaches anywhere near Floyd lol
I agree with TS and had just watched that same video and came to similar conclusion. I question that boxing has all the great athletic talent. Sure, the Floyd footage is impressive, but no more impressive then the speed and power of Conor footage, at least to my eye. Boxing is in for a big reality check. Bunch of bums.
Not if he cuts the ring off which most of Mayweathers fighters with their crap footwork and silly stance seem unable to. Cutting off a ring is about 10 times easier than an octogon and Conor murks most of his opponents on the cage after cutting them off.
We are not talking about an MMA match here retard. It's going to be a boxing match. Longer stance means slower footwork. Connie wont know what hit him and you'll be crying like a little bitch
Exactly. Mayweather may have some extra gears we haven't seen yet, as unlikely as it is as he is nearly 40yo. But his opponents look like extras from The Walking Dead with their footwork and inability to cut Mayweather off to prevent the dude having space to back out and counter all fight long.
Conor will fold your hero in half in the 1st round because he never fought anyone with decent footwork or ability to cut the ring off. Mayweather opponents look like bums that Mickey from Rocky 3 would be proud of.
