Jacobs has 34 fights in pro boxing. Conor Mcgregor has 0.
Oh stfu please..ggg fought out of his weight class..everyone suddenly became a boxing expert..GGG looked slow and weak out there. He won but BARELY won. Wouldve KO'd Jacobs a year or 2 ago.
GGG is 35.
Floyd is 40 (41 when he fight Cloner)
Age means more in boxing than it does in MMA. In MMA, you have guys like Yolo and Manuwa at 37 dominating. P4P GOATS like Chocolito are losing at 30+
and Conor wont have that weight advantage if he fought Floyd?
Agree about the weight in boxing, that boxing is a harder sport, I'm not so sure, inspite of that ESPN study and ranking.
Canelo hadn't matured fully at that point and he was drained from the weight cut. Floyd is an expert at picking and chosing the right opponents at the right time. He needs every advantage possible.At 35 Mayweather was beating prime Canelo at 22-23. So its not so much age as it is mileage. Mayweather can still move and own Connor. I say this as a Connor fan. Hes great in MMA. But boxing? Lolz.
You're probably spot on with the GGG analysis, regarding him fighting the tougher fight. He's an entertainer, though. He tries to go for the finish, because that sells.Nope... the man had a plan come in at around 185 lbs, play it smart and out point him in enough rounds to score the upset but say F you to the belts.
GGG was 170 lbs and still tried his usual I will KO you in 6 or so rounds were he should have recognize the danger and play the points game better to win it more relaxed and not so close.
Either way he got the win even with his all in style and it was a good experience.
Oh and he was thinking the extra size is for an early all in strategy but it wasn't he came to box to a decision.. that's why GGG was a bit defensive in the first 2 rounds.
PS: Chocolito should have won that fight imo.
You should watch Jeff mayweather lose to that karate dude in boxing.so? Put Conor up against Roger or Floyd Sr instead and he'd still lose.
He would.
Floyd starts slow, Conor starts quick.
Floyd's toughest challenges have been against southpaws.
Conor is younger, bigger, and stronger.
A lot of things are in Conor's favor.
The idea of Conor winning is not ridiculous, it's just improbable.

He's still one of the greatest defensive boxers in history though.

I still have not watched it.GGG lost that fight imo
You mustve missed last night when Kovalev was about to turn Conor into butter until Conor said sorry and tapped him softly on the shouldersConor would turn GGG to No-G real quick
