If Lomachenko couldn't beat Salido in his 2nd pro fight, How is Conor gonna beat Floyd in his first?

Hear me out.

Lomachenko 2x Olympic gold medalist 395-1 amateur, avenged his sole loss. He fought a tough a rugged experienced pro in his 2nd pro fight, he even fought a few fights semi pro (without head guard) and he didn't know how to pace himself for 12 rounds and got beat. Despite an enormous talent gap in his favour.

McGregor 0 amateur fights, fighting a guy way more talented with his hands in his FIRST pro fight. How on earth does he get it done? I think Floyd probably stops him if we're being real.
 
Being half black against a 40 year old
 
By punching Floyd in the face as hard as he can.

You don't know shit about boxing
 
You mean the guy who missed weight and threw nut shots all night?

Something tells me you haven't seen that fight

McGregor is a long shot. Floyd is the worst stylistic match-up for him, as McGregor's success depends on Floyd's willingness to engage.

I think McGregor will have to roll the dice by trying something funky in the first couple of rounds.

What that would be, I'll leave to his coaches to figure out.

spunds like he will throw something funky based on what Paulie originally said, that it mau look funny and silly but we will see if it's effective.

It's a relevant point. Salido clearly won that fight and showed that Lomachenko had real flaws at that point (flaws that Lomachenko has done a good job correcting). The refereeing was terrible, but Lomachenko wasn't ready for a savvy pressure fighter who could fight on the inside (and Lomachenko fouled a lot himself in that fight as he constantly pushed and held Salido because he didn't yet have the skill to either fight Salido on the inside or nullify him from that distance).

It shows that even someone as supremely talented as Lomachenko (who, aside from being on a completely different level than McGregor in terms of boxing skill, is simply a much better athlete in every sense) still needs time to acclimate to professional boxing.

No pro boxing experience. While thats technically true its really unfair to Floyd if he loses or goes the distance. Conor is a professional fighter at the top of his game. Tiger Woods has no professional boxing experience. Fighting Conor is a FAR stretch from fighting Tiger Woods.

You, my friend, have too much common sense for this forum. You need to post more unreasonable shit.

A better comparison would be if the best hockey player entered a figure skating competition just because he can ice skate.

Or a NFL kicker trying to play pro soccor just because he can kick a ball really well.

Point is, Mcgregor will not know what it feels like to be in a 12 rnd pro boxing match(or any pro boxing match) against TBE ....until it actually happens.

he can spar 50 rounds a day, sparring is training with the intent of learning, and your sparring partner is aware of that. His job is to help you prepare as much as possible for the battle, he is not trying to concuss you like a real opponent will. No matter how heated a sparring match becomes it is nothing like a professional boxing match.
 
Pete Rademacher had an amateur record of 72-7, was a multiple golden gloves champion, US National champion and won gold at the 1956 Olympics. He made his pro debut against Floyd Patterson and got knocked out in six rounds, getting dropped seven times in the process.

Including the Conortard who once said that he could probably take on his friend -a national boxing champ-, because he watches ufc. Other than that he does not train, but that didn't matter.

(For mma-watching couch potatoes are tougher than trained boxers.)

He would "simply" shoot a takedown at the friend.

I asked him. So if watching ufc makes you that tough and skilled... What if your champion boxer friend also watches ufc? The ufc-watching could compensate for the years of damaging boxing training that turned your friend into such a fairy:rolleyes:

To this day I haven't gotten a reply. I am thinking maybe that is because he shot a takedown at the friend.

(I probably had a part in that. I told him after a while, you are right. Tell the boxer ur going to bang his girl and then his mother and all of his sisters and aunties because they are sluts

This point is way too salient for them and will threaten what they want to believe. They'll respond by trying to attack you personally.
