News Conor still wants Pacquiao.

jptmma said:
Like I've said... Conor didn't lose because he was outmatched in boxing skills... so you are one of those people who actually believes 'Floyd carried Conor'... let's go with that theory... so when it was time for Floyd to end the fight... he couldn't even put Conor on his ass? okay... makes sense...

Again... this is supposedly the pound for pound best boxer of all time... the guy who dominated Pacquiao like Pacquiao is an amateur...

Did he hurt Pacquiao? He outpointed him, he outpointed (albeit green) Canelo too, but those guys were actual threats for him, Conor wasnt, he took it very safe the first 4, im not into the "carried Conor" thing, but he seriously avoided the earlier power of the much younger and bigger fighter, he doesnt have the power to sit Conor's ass, Pacquiao does and he throws every punch with it, even if he doesnt one punch KO's him, he will put a beating on him Margarito style, want to see Conor going to sleep with one punch? Match him up with GGG or Canelo at 160lbs.
 
Conor should just box. He'd make more money in these one off fights.

No, im saying both are way better than Conor, and Pacquiao doesnt hold back...it cost him the Marquez fight he was winning, Floyd is the better of the two, but Manny is good enough to put a beating on Conor, not just win the fight.

I just don't get the obsession of boxing? He has all the money in the world and he is an elite mma fighter, supposedly still in his prime

I would rather he commit to mma and make a run for the title, or just have novelty fights in the ufc and boxing!?

He pissed 2 years of his career away for Floyd, but I can understand why with such a reward

I just can't understand why he wants pacquiao so badly?

I still expect him to beat Dustin, but if he isn't fully committed, he could be in bother

Maybe this is a negotiation tactic, to make sure he gets what he's worth and maybe the next ts

I hope it's only a negotiation tactic. With Khabib out of the picture he really has a chance to kind of re-create his legacy in terms of the 2nd half of his career. From the Brimage to Alvarez fight it was fantastic, which is why a movie was made about it.

From Mayweather-Cerrone, it's been too inconsistent. 3 fights since January 1st of 2017. He can fight Dustin, and if he wins, he could then take on the other top LWs like Ferguson and Gaethje. He actually has a good chance to win the title & defend it.

It seems like he's been trying to erase narratives in his last 2 opponents. First narrative is that he could only knockout midgets, so he knocked out Cerrone who was 6 foot. Then the second narrative is that he doesn't give rematches to fighters he's already beat. One of the biggest negative narratives around his career is the title defense one though. Fight 3 times in 2021 and he could re-write the public perception on him. MMA only. He's disrespected in boxing, so why even do it?

Lol, its an all time great we are talking here, who beat an undefeated world champion not long ago, he wont have a problem putting Conor away.

These guys are dumb, lol
 
Dana has the power to stop that. Make sure he gets the right fight for the right money and he’ll be back in the octagon.
 
This is the sport that thought Rhonda could beat men, lol. Pure money grab, other wise call out Canelo, Spence, Crawford, Garcia, Charlo, etc.
Oh that’s right, they’re not retired and sitting on 9 figures, you know those hungry fighters.
