No, sherdog is "no one can take that left hand" "touch of death" "Floyd has never tasted power like conor's"
then after the fight it's all about excuses about why floyd basically walked through this supposed "touch of death" power.
This guy knows what's up. In hindsight it's easy to brush off the OP highlighting this comment as "Well duh, of course, Pacquiao is an elite pro boxer".
But that was FAR from the sentiment before the fight, on sherdog and in the MMA community in general. People genuinely believed Conor was this huge puncher, and hit harder than Manny, Cotto, Canelo, Mosley, Oscar etc. Even Rogan was talking about the "touch of death" and that Conor "Only needs to touch his chin once" etc. Completely clueless and delusional.
MMA fans genuinely believed Floyd would need to cautiously "dance" or run his way to a boring points victory over huge monster puncher McGregor.
I told everyone I could in the lead up to the fight that Conor can't even punch by elite boxing standards, had absolutely no chance of winning (not even a puncher's chance, as as we now know, he's not a puncher), and to bet on Floyd by TKO. Not a clever pick, an overwhelmingly obvious one. I had MMA fans laughing at me and calling me an idiot for saying Floyd was a bigger puncher and would walk Conor down and stop him <Lmaoo>
But it has to be said, even though I knew Conor's power would not remotely compare to Pacquiao, Canelo, Oscar, Mosley or any of Floyd's legit opponents - I didn't know quite how featherfisted he'd be by boxing standards. The difference was astonishing - his punches had no snap, no technique, and just nothing on them at all. Glorified arm punches, he punched like Paulie - a featherfisted 135 pounder.
