Did Mayweather Carry McGregor?

[TheBulletwithWings]

Connor did do better than they expected yes. But nobody has made a statement on why Mayweather basically fought, like Connor said "a mexican." Also, the stats as well.

Floyd fought in the way he felt best for Conor to tire and be vulnerable to the finish which Floyd was determined to get. I don't believe Floyd "carried" him at all and neither did any of the pro boxers who watched the fight. Only haters hsve been Aldo, RDA, Canelo and Paulie.
Haven't seen a statement by Kellerman, he was off by 111 punches.

It is becuase Floyd for the first time in his career decided he wanted to uncharacteristically become a flat footed pressure fighter with lazy defense. Mayweather before this fight was known for his defense and "dancing around" and being a counterpuncher. Why did he change. Because he was not worried about Connors offense and was having fun going for the finish, or he was carrying him to make him look good. It is one or the other, either way, had Mayweather truly fought like Connor was a serious threat Mayweather would have fought like he has the entire rest of his carrer.

Even So, you are talking about an experienced fighter with 49-0. Conor was landing shots, countering his shots, and using his jab.

For someone as experienced as Floyd, going up against someone supposedly with no chance in hell, should not of been a problem.

Like I said before, and it seems like I have to say it again. As a boxer, it can take years to perfect your skills, your cardio. This was Connors first fight, with no professional boxing experience. All he had was a little while to train, to go up against pound for pound one of the best boxers ever.

People are talking as if Conor is a boxer, as if he has had years experience, and still lost. It is absolutely redicules that these people cannot credit him for what he done.

As a huge boxing and mma fan, I find it really sad!

I don't believe that you're a boxing fan, since you didn't refute a single boxing specific point in the OP.

Sad.

Believe me, I am more of a boxing fan than you. Damn sight more knowledgeable too. But you carry on with your tin foil hat conspiracy, if it stops you from giving Conor any credit!

Then prove it.

Actually address the points in the OP.

But you won't. You don't have the ability.

You gonna be a moron or actually refute the points?

Why did Mayweather fight like a lazy pressure fighter instead of utilizing his best skills?

Of course Connor was landing shots, Floyd fought like a sloppy pressure fighter with little respect of Connors power. The question is whether he was carrying him or he putting pressure on him and coming straight at him showing no real worry, due to him feeling like he wasn't a threat.

But you won't. You don't have the ability.

If you don't have the intelligence to realise I have answered most of them already, then you never will. Some of my statements, if you bothered to read them, rendered some of your "points" invalid.

But a hater is always a hater!

 

[Hardkore]

I'm not buying it. I've watched the fight several times now and it's clear to me Mayweather doesn't engage for he first 3 rounds out of respect for how dangerous Conor was. His jab was sharp and Floyd was cautious. He didn't win those rounds because he couldn't.

When round 4 hit he figured Conor was spent enough to pursue him but it didn't immediately result in a KO, Conor was still dangerous but was frustrated and flustered by the rules by then.

I think this "Carrying" narrative is just another boxing spin just to save face. The idea of any fighter besides a Boxer even being remotely competitive is a slap in the face to everything they believe. It's just downright ridiculous and peurile. Just some abstract fantastical conspiracy to protect their shitty sport.

Or the same old usual suspects of Conor haters who obsess over him like fucking weirdos lol. You're the ones who actually make this guy rich, you know that right? Lol

That's because you don't understand what you're watching

 

[Hardkore]

Sure he did, he basically called bullshit on your claim and pointed out how Mayweather and Sugar ray were both suprised at how well Conor did.

Being gracious in victory. Something Conor knows nothing about

No you didn't.

Anyone can read the OP and then read your responses to see you didn't refute anything.

Why didn't Floyd utilize his most effective skills?

Why did Floyd abandon the style that lead him to one of the greatest careers in boxing history?

Can you answer those questions or will you continue to scream "ur a hater I'm big time box fan ".

Lol. Okay you are definitely trolling now.

 

[Krixes]

If Floyd could have ko'd Conor in 1 round he would have. He ate that early uppercut and started to play it safe until Conor gassed. You guys just hate that Conor did so well it's sad. Just be happy he lost....

The fight I saw was a fight where Floyd didn't have a reach advantage and fought Conor in the pocket instead. Floyd was content to shell in the pocket and make Conor tire himself out. That's why Floyd walked him down the entire fight. Conor gassed and THEN Floyd opnened up and picked him apart. It was a cake walk at that point.

BUT before Conor gassed we SAW Floyd get countered repeadedly when he opened up in the eaely rounds. He wasn't doing that on purpose bro.

"Repeatedly"...

Even in the early rounds, Conor missed the vast majority of his punches.

The uppercut hit Floyd's chest first, Mayweather laughed it off.

Use your brain.

And he landed some excellent counters...

As a proud daddy carries his newborn baby.

His best punch was deflected.

What other "excellent counters" did he land?
