Is it true that Floyd didn't train for the Conor fight ?

[dracul]

He fought a 0 0 bum

What do you think

Probably some cardio and that's it

 

[SakurabasEar]

Only white people who dislike rich black atheletes.

Kill boxing?

Yes, to be specific he had a hand in oversaturating and killing the market and appeal of boxing in america.

 

[MescalineDreams]

Even with floyd taking it easy, there are still so many pictures of Conor getting slapped about like a kid brother

Can any of you bender nutt huggers provide evidence of floyd getting slapped silly

Will need at least 5 pics and not from the same punch

Thanks

He actually hit Floyd a fair bit

To date nobody has made a proper highlight of everything he landed. If we can get some video editor to do it, it would certainly add some fuel for the argument.

even the commentators during the fight kept saying they were surprised how much he was landing, how effective his jab was.

so far people have only cherry picked meme gifs out of the worst Conor moments of the fight, effectively skewing the public perception heavily since very few people are going back and watching the fight over and over again.

mind you, Conor wasn't putting very much on those shots, it's clear his intent was to make it to the later rounds.

one day maybe people will realize that was just an older Floyd. He fought the way he did because Conor needs space to utilize his style and range most effectively. The pressure Floyd implemended made him constantly move, reset, as a result tired him out quicker and exposed his lack of inside game.

rabbit punches and all that ugly shit he did was a result of Floyd's pressure and not giving him room to breathe. Perhaps took some notes from his Diaz fights

going to the conspiracies, Floyd carried him shit is the easy answer here. It's an easy way to avoid looking too deeply into the fight and giving credit where it might be due to a person that most people don't like

which is what it really comes down to, whether people realize it or not.

fighters and analysts provide the most powerful take because they're capable
Of being real, objective, impartial and don't allow emotions to get in the way for the most part.

How many boxers talked shit about him from the moment the fight was announced?

you'd think them of all people would be telling the Floyd carried him narrative from the rooftops. to date it's only been a very small percentage, many of them linked to Floyd's own camp. At the end of the day, the opinions of the brightest minds in the sport speak volumes.

I'm a minority here but at least I'm in good company

 

[sypher]

He says that because he's never not training. He's a guy who says a lot but puts the work in constantly, it's a lifestyle for him.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

Wow, not many of you guys come out anymore.

No, but they are especially loud.

For any of this essay to be true, you have to ignore Floyd's output for the first 5 rounds compared to the rest of his career.

Carry on, nuthugger. Floyd took it easy to keep a rematch marketable. Good on you for falling for it like the genuine mark you are, mate.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Look at Floyds abs for that fight. Lmao at people try to argue he ate cheeseburgers, didnt train and hung out at strip clubs til 3am every night.

Floyd probably trained hard knowing he could not lose to mma fighter Conor. People who think otherwise dont know Floyd.

You know that Floyd eats cheeseburgers and a lot of junk food from sweets to fried in general during camps right? I think he was eating spaghetti bologense like every day or something for the Conor fight. And he's always at clubs late then too

No matter what his eating habits or recreation was, he still trained damn hard for this fight.

 

[The Big Bang]

Why didn’t you bet the house on Mayweather and get rich then?

I told people to do that very thing on Sherdog.

I also posted my bets.

I've done that with many fights.

 

[Local Plata]

Im sure he still did a lot of cardio. Probably didn't train 'boxing' per se or really bother sparring ... because why ... he was fighting some 0-0 clown.

 

[TheLastSpartan]

Floyd definitely trained because he always trains. For all his flaws, one thing you must admire is his insane work ethic. Arguably the hardest working athlete out there.

But he probably did not train as intensely as he did when he went up against actual boxers and he most definitely did not gameplan for Conor.

I think some of you guys just want the easy answers

it wasn't just the first 5

the first 6 rounds were close

The 7th was the first decisive round for Floyd. Even noted by the commentators

Then the 8th was close, legitimately could've went either way.

did Floyd try in the 7th then stop trying in the 8th? Makes sense I guess

are we to believe that Floyd mayweather, one of the least bit fighters in boxing history allowed himself to take punches freely?

Most mma fans think he carried him, most boxers have him respect.

In this case there is truth in the minority and thankfully I'm in decent company

who is really the mark?

seems to me by very definition it's a person who believes without looking very deeply into the topic

 

[ThePunisher]

“I train six days, actually six days a week. Five days a week, I’ll train three days a week. One of those days I will train two days of the week. So, six days a week I will be training.”

- Floyd Mayweather

lmao, love how his full name is signed at the end of this ramble.

 

[ElLunico]

Only a moron believes that. Say what you want about his personal life but Floyd is also one of the most disciplined and dedicated combat athlete of all time. He'd train the same no matter who it is

 

[AndrewGolota48]

Not only did he train for Conor, he came in the shape of his life.

Look at the Tenshin fight if you want to see an example of what he looks like untrained.

The difference is staggering. You have to be quite gullible to believe Floyd over your own eyes.

 

[Reffson]

Floyd lies because he was embarrassed that an MMA fighter, in his first pro boxing match, went ten rounds with him.

So you didn't look at his punch stats, then?

 

[JohnCena]

Floyd has an incredible work ethic and champion mentality. I'd be surprised if he didn't. Even for someone as bad as Mcgregor, Floyd most likely trained very hard for that fight.

 

[MescalineDreams]

So you didn't look at his punch stats, then?

I've watched the fight prob a dozen times at this point

I'll believe my own eyes above all else

I generally take stats with a grain of salt, even in mma. They're notoriously inaccurate and cconsidering they gave him a single round, safe to assume they're probably biased in some way

in general basing opinions off stats is just bad analysis although they can be a valuable tool at times, just not as a sole source of data

watched Gus Jones again recently on like 0.75 speed and it's crazy how he basically hit air the whole night, what he did land was almost entirely grazing and when you look at the stats, supposedly he landed this insane number of significant strikes.

They're to be taken with a grain of salt at best. Best to do it ourselves. Especially watching it multiple times, you can come up with something far more accurate than something produced in the heat of the moment.

So then no, you didn't compare how many punches Floyd threw vs Conor for 5 rounds vs other fights in his career?

Why, oh why, would Floyd throw so few punches s Conor? Well, because as good as a puncher Conor is, he is a shit boxer. Conor looked silly for long stretches, his style doesn't translate well to big gloves, and he doesn't have the cardio, stamina, and practice enough to be a good boxer.

But hurr durr, you train, your eyes, yada yada yada, everyone is biased but you, hurr Mike Tyson said so, etc...
