To be able to innovate, you must first understand the problem at hand as well as anybody. There is no way around this.
I dont agree in fact sometimes it is helpful NOT to have the understanding everyone else does as it aids for out of the box thinking. Also in this case the same can be applied to Mayweather in that he does not understand what Connor is going to do either and this helps as Connors only shot is to surprise and confound Mayweather and get knock out.
So how did Conor acquire the insight to innovate on the sport of boxing? By spending a few months sparring with some journeymen talent and having zero actual elite level bouts to test his theories?
He came upon his approach by learning to strike in a completely different sport and by being a free thinking type of individual by nature and surrounding himself with other people who think outside of the box.
Contrary to what you and other fans think, Conor is not some once-in-a-lifetime tactical genius. Remember, he is the guy who managed to faceplant against an off-season Nate. He somehow failed to anticipate the problems posed by a good, rangy MMA boxer and on top of that, seemed completely unprepared to how his body would react to the rapid weight gain. Let me tell you: no top boxing gym would make a series of bush league mistakes like this.
Again you make assumptions about me and my positions that are wrong, and not supported by my posts..... again. I am not a Connor fan, in fact it is fair to say that I am rooting strongly for Mayweather to make a statement..... I have made similar posts about the Diaz fights as you just did.... I haven't argued that Connor is going to win this fight, instead I have argued the opposite.
I am only stating that his performance against Paulie and Paulies own words are proof that his unique approach is more effective than many people thought and I have wondered about the lasting nature of that good. Plenty of boxing fans thought Paulie would walk right through Connor and have changed their tune because of Paulies own words. I am presenting a more nuanced view and you are so busy trying to argue that you aren't noticing that.
