Does Holloway finally put MMA in the W column in boxing?
Max probably lasts the distance, unlike McTapFloyd finishes him faster than Conor.
Styles make fights brother. Max is very hittable. He always fights in the pocket. Floyd would eat him up within 5 rounds I bet. 3 knockdowns.Max probably lasts the distance, unlike McTap
He has much better cardio than McTap
Conor is more hittable, less durable, and has 1/10 of Max's gas tank.Styles make fights brother. Max is very hittable. He always fights in the pocket. Floyd would eat him up within 5 rounds I bet. 3 knockdowns.
Re-watch the fight with Dustin, better boxers can land and the ones with more power stops his offense and volume. You just can't let Holloway out volume you, you either break his combos with counters or fight him in the pocket with more powerful punches. Both options stops his offense, he gets hurt a lot easier than Conor. Conor's chin is more solid and Diaz outboxes almost everyone he fights. Plus that was the heaviest Diaz has been in a fight that hurt Conor, so he that equals more punching power also.Conor is more hittable, less durable, and has 1/10 of the gas tank of Max.
Don't let the stats fool you, most of the "significant strikes" that Max eats are glancing or blocked. Conor got so badly beaten up by journeyman Diaz that he panic wrestled and gave up his neck.
Pure boxing no. Floyd is too technical and would be able to read Max pretty easily. Max doesn't level change to land body shots and he doesn't move well from the waist up when using head/body movement. Plus his combos are repetitive and Floyd would be able to figure that out. Check hooks and counters from Floyd once he gets the patterns and timing, plus a bunch of level change spear body jabs to throw him off with an occasional power hook to the body. Philly shell is tailor made for Max's style in pure boxing. Same reason he had a hard time with Dustin when he was using the Philly shell. Now imagine if it was Floyd using the Philly shell defense/counter style.Does Holloway finally put MMA in the W column in boxing?

Diaz probably hits harder than Max. He uses volume just like Max. Conor has been hit hard by KO strikers and hasn't gone out. He's only been rocked by Diaz while he was tired, so it was more of a fatigue issue just like vs Mayweather. The Khabib was a solid shot and he recovered in a split second so that shows his chin is solid. Conor has ate shots that would've put most fighters out.Diaz hits like a girl and still rocked Conor
Conor has an average at best chin, poor defense, and HW gas tank
