Media This is where Floyd Mayweather separates himself from Conor McGregor

[TheJohnnyWalkerEra]

Nate's an even more ungainly speaker.

Nevertheless, Conor got slayed by "touch-butt with that dork in the park"

Nate definitely got him there but Conor destroyed Nate a bunch of times

Floyd and Conor are the two biggest draws in their sport, but Floyd is better at owning media, Conor always starts going erm eh erm eh when he is trying to come up with something to say, when he isn't acting like a wild man to sell fights.

This is one of the most iconic moments in Floyds career, he destroys the media and silences them in this rant. He shut them all down. Conor gets tongue tied when it comes to having to defend himself, Floyd dropping facts, you gotta respect that man. What makes this even sweeter is Floyd Mayweather destroyed and humiliated Manny Pacquiao when they fought, Pac looked like a defeated fighter who almost quit.

Well Floyd is everything Conor dreams of being and has made a career of emulating and aspiring too be.

This however is the least of what separates Conor from Floyd.

Workethic drive and an unrelenting desire to leave a legacy as the greatest fighter too ever step into a Ring/ Cage is what really separates them.

What did Floyd do when he won his first Title fight, he fought another 26 of them in a row over 5 division while never cutting more than 5 pounds at any point beating almost every other legend in his path over two decades including winning a title at a weight he couldn't even makes the maximum in on 3 occasions.

What did Floyd do when he made his first 100 million and had enough money he never needed to step into a gym too train for a fight again? He decided he wanted to make 200 million next and got right back in the gym and right back too proving he was the best against top 5 opponents and he continued doing so into his late 30s and spanning 3 decades on route too becoming the first athlete too generate a billion dollars.

Conor is not even in the same universe as Floyd and needed Floyd too earn what will be by far the biggest payday of his career and because if that exposure was able to almost double his previous PPV record when he finally returned too MMA.

Of course Conor is heavily praised for coming back after making 100 million and "having no reason to fight anymore" and "had to be struggling to find motivation to train everyday with all that money in the bank" while its hardly ever mentioned Floyd was still the hardest worker in Boxing for a decade after making his first 100 million and continuing to put his unprecedented record on the line against the best of the best until he was nearly 40 and when he finally did retire is accused of ducking the next up and coming star of the day despite being in his 40's because he would "get exposed" if he fought "insert name here" as if he wasn't approaching his mid 40s cause people are that desperate to see him lose so they can say "see, he wasn't ever that good he just cherry picked the 27 straight World Champions or #1 contenders he fought and ducked (insert name here but mainly guys competing at 160 like B-hop and Williams despite Floyd never stepping into the ring on fight night above 151)"

Lol.

Floyd- Most accomplished and imo greatest Boxer of all time.

Conor- an opportunist who managed too parley 5 career top 10s into 2 titles, 3 title fights (and counting) and 0 defenses.

Other than being the too top earners in their respective sports history's this too men are nothing like each other as athletes.

To Floyd’s credit he had the patience to drag the fight out for longer instead of knocking him out in the first round. Boredom eventually set it in the 10th and he said “that’s it”.

This. After Conor put Floyd on the ropes in the first round and tried to tee off (landing nothing), it was a wrap. Floyd could have ended it at any time he wanted to.

Floys is still undefeated. Conor is not. That is the draw of Floyd, he talks a lot and then he does not lose. Floyd's style can be pretty boring.

 

[surgeyou1]

Floyd is iliterate

 

[Koro]

I reckon it's easier to defend yourself and "drop facts" when you're actually undefeated and the true GOAT.

 

[Gamer007]

Floyd is a martial arts legend

 

[BonesWinckleJones]

THE MAN CANT READ

 

[green giant]

Floyd stuttered repeated himself and spoke like a moron. You have no clue what you are talking about. Conor owned him face to face wit wise and would beat him easily in a real fight too. I don't like Conor by the way he's an arrogant douchebag.

Smart people engage in the Socratic method. In Floyd's case he's just emotional and inarticulate.

What makes this even sweeter is Floyd Mayweather destroyed and humiliated Manny Pacquiao when they fought, Pac looked like a defeated fighter who almost quit.

For all of Floyd's accolades it still irks you that Manny is more beloved and respected worldwide.

 

[Megatronlee]

That's a myth and an excuse that Conor haters use( not saying you're one of them ). The truth is that Conor is too young and powerful to be taken lightly so Floyd had to go on the defense until Conor slowed down. Conor's countering ability is underrated being one of his best attributes and Floyd knew this which is why he couldn't risk his undefeated record and legacy by losing to an MMA fighter that was competing in his first ever pro boxing match. This is nothing against Floyd because he did exactly what he was supposed to do and was able to take Conor into deep waters before stopping him

Nah grow up. Floyd could have ended him anytime

Grow up. Conor wrote his material. Floyd didn’t

 

[Platon]

And floyd is dealing with real journalists

Not the fake basement ones that cover MMA

Cool story bro

 

[QcChopper]

boop of death!

no can defend!!

-Conor: "Boop! Got your nose"
-Floyd: "I got your ass fool!"

 

[TheLinguist]

Conor lacks the IQ.

Without preparation on what to say he comes off as a crass simpleton.

While Mayweather is no scholar he has clear intelligence of which is obviously on another level compared to Conor

 

[dildos]

-Conor: "Boop! Got your nose"
-Floyd: "I got your ass fool!"

<Lmaoo><45><Lmaoo><45><Lmaoo><45>

I think you’re getting carried away with your analysis of Pacquiao’s performance.

It seemed like he waited for Manny to lose a step before taking him on as well.

 

[Dogshare]

Actually I think Conor is the better talker and more intelligent than Floyd. But Floyd is just the better athlete and this is proved by his undefeated record, while Conor already has many losses.

 

[Khaiser]

Yeah..cuz they're both under USADA. Kind of stupid to ask for tougher testing than that.

Meanwhile boxing was under no random testing at all back then and Manny was "afraid of needles" so any additional testing was out of the question. That's a legit gripe.

Timing was the issue. Pacquiao wanted no testing within 30 days of the fight, Roach wanted testing up to 5 days before the fight, Floyd wanted testing anytime up to the day before the fight.

It all seemed to be largely ego driven.

 

[Khaiser]

Mayweather is a much better boxer than Conor is MMA fighter. He’ll legitimately go down as an all time great fighter in a sport with as deep a history as any.

McGregor is a better talker. That isn’t saying much though. in Mayweathers favour, he comes across as more ‘real’ whereas Conor comes across as a guy basically wanting to be Mayweather.
