Its's undeniable that Conor's success in MMA is largely attributed to his precise striking, speed and power. The question has been raised as to why his high level striking does not translate well into boxing. I would argue that it is not his caliber of striking that is the issue, but his physical traits. Boxing differs from MMA in that a match is typically much longer and fighter's throw and land a significantly larger volume of punches. If you look at Conor's head to body size ratio, and compare it to an elite striker in boxing, it shows that he has a very large target that is much easier to hit and thus is a major disadvantage in a more drawn out technical striking match.

If you look at the following pictures, Conor's head is virtually the same size as his torso (on a side note, they both look similar as well). In contrast to an elite boxer, there is a drastic difference in head to torso size ratio.

It seems to make sense that Conor would be more successful in MMA as he can use his speed and power advantage to overwhelm his opponents early on and get a quick knock out, while in boxing his physical disadvantage is more evident in the longer more technical matches.

Tyson Fury is a 6'9" HW, dumbass. Why don't you show pictures of boxers who are Conor's size?

He never became a elite boxer because of a lack of elite skills not the size of his head you fucking goof. Lmao
