Conor not as powerful as we thought? Tyson didn't KO a dozen opponents

[Seismic]

This myth that because Conor didn't finish Nate it makes him all of a sudden not a fighter capable of KO'ng Nate is absurd. To believe that you must believe Tyson didn't have the power to put away the dozen opponents that took his blows and still stood. Or you can be a reasonably minded individual and believe that Tyson, like Conor, simply didn't land clean in those encounters. Watch Tyson V Botha for an example of a one clean shot fight. Botha dominated throughout, even taunting Mike, then he went out like a light after one shot. Power hitters like Tyson and Conor don't ever lose it. It's just a matter of connection.

Short notice is the only way you can be competitive with him. I mean, both Mendes and Nate are the only 2 who gave Conor a fight, and both was on short notice. Full Camp Conor beats both in the first.

 

[WOATwindmiller]

Tyson had amazing defense.

 

[yaikr]

Tyson had 34 KO's/TKO's in his first 37 fights.

He stopped taking training seriously after(approximately) his 30th fight.

Not worth arguing. People have these really cartoonish ideas of how human anatomy and physics work.

Conor had a full camp for both those fights...

 

[Sgt Smith]

Conor has a total of 4 KOs on his record. He primarily wins by TKO. Still impressive, but not the same.

Getting ready for RDA isn't the same as getting ready for Nate. Watch it, Conor will be more defensive in the rematch

 

[Happiness]

This isn't remotely true.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

I'm sure he has the power to stop any LW or FW with strikes.

This is a weak excuse. Full camp preparing for anyone >>> no camp. Besides, doesn't Conor say he trains for himself not the opponent? Conor himself has debunked your excuse.

Wtf is "full camp" Conor? When the hell has Conor ever had a short camp? Are you actually trying to give the guy with a full camp credit over the guys who took fights on short notice who were hunting and partying?

Smh. I've read it all now.

And Conor already says he doesn't train for specific fighters. He doesn't tailor his training regiment to his opponents.

He spent 8 weeks in training camp, and didn't get 8 minutes of cardio in the fight. There's no excuse for that.

You, sir, are a retard.

 

[Sgt Smith]

Full Camp Conor is born.

Conor is always in shape so he would be as ready as he was for anyone with preparing for someone or not. But that doesn't mean it is the ideal. Of course they prepare, there are fighters out there that says that they doesn't even watch the fights of their opponents, so because they said it you must believe then.

When Mendes said that he didn't had a camp, Conor also said that he didn't had as well for him.

 

[KOByFootStomp]

I think when a fighter spouts off about how no one can take his left hand, and then someone takes his left hand and proceeds to finish him the blow-back is a little more fierce.

Conor didn't blow Siver out the water? In fact I remember Conor hitting the canvas once from a leg kick.

It is the same. Only 1 guy has ever gone past 2 rounds with conor. That was holloway. Only 1. ko tko, trivial details...a stoppage is a stoppage.
