If Conor beats Floyd in a boxing match, does he become the GOAT of combat sports?

NO HE NEEDS ABOUT 40 MORE FIGHTS

HE IS A FLAMBOYANT HYPSTER WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

WhY even make a thread about Conor he is about to retire.

 

[Local Plata]

No.

 

[kflo]

no. mayweather is 40 year old and hasnt fought in 2 years. he isnt p4p anymore.
ignorant mma fans like you think mayweather is the greatest boxer ever because you heard someone say it before and dont know anything else about boxing.
but the most absurd thing about your thread is that you even see a possibility that mcgregor could ever beat a top50 boxer.

Mayweather is among the greatest fighters ever.

You are absolutely right. Conor does not beat a top 50 boxer. But do not make it seem as if Mayweather is some bum. He is an easy top 10 in boxing history and has probably the best defence ever. Even at 40 years old, he would still hold the belt right now.

Would certainly be impressive. Nowhere near making him the combat sports GOAT though, that doesn't even make sense.

 

[Lemmy Caution]

It would be an incredible achievement to go along with being UFC's first ever 2 division champ. I think it is a fair question.

Hunt and Overeem have K-1 titles. I don't see Conor leapfrogging them.

 

[Bacco]

No, but Floyd become the GOAT of scam diving

 

[Irishwhiskey119]

If he beats Floyd by KO then people will just talk about how Floyd was too old and then people will call for him to fight GGG/Canelo winner.

That is exactly what will happen if he wins which he won't.

If he beats Floyd via decision they will do a rematch.

 

[Sharkhunter]

No, its a boxing match so hes expected to win. If he were to beat Conor in MMA you could make the case

?

 

[Rondas Pillow]

If they banned ts and other person posting this, does this board improve?

 

[Oooxente]

Nope

 

[UL]

He will become the GOAT of the earth.

Happy?

 

[King Kerns]

who didn't rocky fight?

Floyd Patterson and Sonny liston

 

[J-Pac]

Damn, I gotta think it puts him at number 1 just because of how big of an underdog he would be. Also KOing Aldo in 13 seconds and embarassing Alvarez completely were both pretty iconic. That would be insane if he pulled it off.

 

[fiftywattmafia]

Yes. And anyone who claims no is full of shit. Have a great weekend.

 

[Legendary]

It means that he beat a 40 year old Floyd. 45 by the time they actually fight.

GOAT of Combat sports? The GOAT doesn't complain about fighting bigger people, and doesn't tap out like a bitch.

 

[Skarsgard]

Nah. He hasn't touched the Muay Thai/Glory world, not to mention that Floyd's 40 years old and has a style that relies heavily on reflexes. He's going to get caught eventually if he keeps fighting.

That's just ridiculous. If you're caught in a submission with no ability to escape, tap and save yourself from injury.

I hope he calls out Buchecha for a gi match next.
