I would have loved seeing that Irish guy against Roy Shaw

Are we seriously comparing Conor "panic wrestler" McGregor to Muhammad Ali?

Ali had some Irish blood, so they are linked somewhere back in the family tree of the ancient Irish haha

 

[CodCommando]

Oh fucking hell, what is this shit?!

 

[Noleggeisha]

Not much ressemblance between Ali and McG or their respective career.

 

[Glove]

The only comparison i see here is that both "participated" in MMA.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

By every possible standard this is a weird thread

 

[The Best JG]

Ali won 31 professional fights before his first loss and had like 10 title defenses

Conor lost his 3rd professional fight

Not sure about this comparison

You're right Conor has a much higher finishing rate

TS trying to make waves...

Lol. Ok NOW by every possible standard it's a weird thread

 

[Noleggeisha]

Solid comparison.

Stephen Curry has more points per game though.

 

[Upchuck22]

McGregor is the FW Tyson.

 

[cumafish]

You're right Conor has a much higher finishing rate

Ali also went undefeated for his 1st 31 fights of which 9 were title "defenses"...

 

[Buster C]

Nope.
Ali worked the rope-a-dope.
Conor got worked by it.

 

[Bilbo Gaggins]

If CM goes on a 40+ win streak he could be mentioned in the same sentence...

 

[wilKO]

Solid comparison.

Stephen Curry has more points per game though.

Don't forget Paul Hollywood can make a Victoria sponge to die for.
