Conor McGregor is MMAs Mike Tyson

[William Huggins]

No one thinks Mike actually did it

Everyone thinks Conor did

That wasn't necessarily the case with Mike at the time, remembering back then, time has ways of revealing things.....

Rape?

Guilty until proven innocent mate, sherdog law.

 

[fijuviju]

So he is MMAs Tyson, but he isn't?

Conor has decisions over Max and Nate two guys with elite cardio

His still sucks. Its his style he throws bombs and he doesnt maintain well. Same with Tyson. Yeah no shit he has some decent decisions but he was winning the early rounds in every fight he ever had. I actually cant recall a single loss where he lost round 1 but maybe you can humor me. Not including his losses post Lennox those were just a totally shot fighter.

max was barely old enough to drink and conor spent the nate fight running away, to scrape a majority decision, his cardio is fucking garbage. did you see how he lost to mayweather? basically just suffocated, it wasnt a knockout it was a gassout

tysons body of work is completely different, if you wanna say he has more power early in the fight, fine, just like everyone else on earth

Conor is a pale imitation of Mike Tyson, both figuratively and literally.

And his power is vastly overrated - unless you're 145 and running in chin first (or eddie who gets dropped by pretty much everyone) that power is not all that - Floyd ate that shit like chopped liver. If the power was all that then he'd have at least offered a threat to floyd but even with an obvious size advantage he offered nothing to floyd in terms of danger not even that so called punching power.

you being a member since 2012, I shouldn't have to explain this to you....power in mma is vastly different in boxing....different sized gloves...different stance...and floyd has fought and beaten some of the hardest punches in boxing...shane mosely, alverez, etc...all known for their power....yet, they couldn't do hit against floyd either....floyd has a way of slipping punches...so they never land solid...almost never....

Conor has only kocked out one fighter with a single shot, and most people think it was a fluke. Tyson had more one punch knock outs as an amateur than McGregor has fights. they're nothing alike.

 

[axe wound]

both have speech impediments

both have padded records

 

[Iron Nick]

I might get shit for it, but i think both are/were overrated.
Conor was said to be already one of the GOATs, while he actually wasn't - Mike Tyson on the other hand, is not the best boxer, nor the best heavyweight boxer ever.

 

[Poirierfan]

You don't turn into a shit head when you get lots of money, you already are a shit head before the money, just a more humble one........

Exactly, McGregor was always white trash, he just couldn't flaunt himself because he had no money. You give a born criminal some money and a big ego, you get Conor McGregor.

 

[Drain Bamage]

The biggest difference is Tyson was dominant in his sport.

 

[Taco Loco]

McGregor has to say he's gonna eat some dudes asshole alive and fuck them until the dude loves him.

Then I'll agree sir.

You can't compare a sport that's been around for hundreds of years to a new sport.

Tyson is still talked about decades laters and is considered an all time great. Conor will be long forgotten.

Fedor is more the Tyson of MMA. Tyson was a knockout artist that came up at a time when there was inferior competition, and lost to a non elite fighter, then started losing when he faced a new field of elite fighters. Same as Fedor. Conor just had an easy path to the belt and couldn't hold it for long. He should have stayed at FW.

Fair enough; i didn't want to make it seem like Tyson was just good though, he's definitely amongst the very best to have done it, he's just not the best boxer ever to me, not even in his prime.

 

[Congo66]

As comparisons go...... there's absolutely nothing in this one.
There's no comparison between the two at all and none of the points the TS has made are valid.

WRONG.
Conor is and always will be the most famous MMAfighter of all time

If he fights Khabib again hes gonna bite his dick off

 

[MileHigher]

Perfect response. Other than being unique characters, they are nothing alike. An insult to Mike Tyson honestly.
