What the fuck 'made it' means? Aren't Big Baby Miller and Dillian Whyte now close to a title shot? Isn't Povetkin fighting for the title next month? Didn't Vitaly Klitschko transform to a world beater as a boxer after he left kickboxing?
Both JDS and CroCop would have been great boxers if boxing was their only pursuit. Both were talented athletes and both had that warrior mentality. There are entire threads on mixed martial artists and kickboxers and thai fighters jumping to boxing so you can look up hundreds of fighters like the examples I listed above.
I wonder how many MMA fans think because Dillashaw didn't get beat up in the 2 minutes of sparring footage between him and Lomachenko, that Dillashaw would have a competitive match with Lomachenko in boxing
Dillian Whyte is also 1-0 in MMA.What the fuck 'made it' means? Aren't Big Baby Miller and Dillian Whyte now close to a title shot? Isn't Povetkin fighting for the title next month? Didn't Vitaly Klitschko transform to a world beater as a boxer after he left kickboxing?

I think he means could have. They were both extremely successful but I think he means those that didi not try boxing.
The world is full of clueless mugs. The amount of people I know that laid money on mcgregor KOing Floyd is embarrassing
I’m a massive fan of TJ but he’d lose handily to Cody in 8oz gloves and a boxing ring, let alone a top level boxer
That would actually be pretty interesting to watch. TJ and Garbrandt with 3-5 months solely training boxing... would watch. I doubt either of them could make it to a decent level, but they are good enough fighters to pick things up.The world is full of clueless mugs.

Very fair points. Worth noting though that they are all HWs where the finer, more refined skills are not as important, and size/power are much bigger factors
In my experience boxing is a far more technical sport than kickboxing. There have been some incredible kickboxers at lighter weights, but unless they make that change to boxing early in their career it is very unlikely that they will reach an elite level, unless they are an absolutely exceptional talent/athlete
IDK, Cody's fight IQ seems quite low tbh. He fell for the same punch, for three times in a row, in the same sequence.The world is full of clueless mugs. The amount of people I know that laid money on mcgregor KOing Floyd is embarrassing

Honestly, I think Floyd could beat Conner with one hand. I think some women could out point Conner to a win.

maybe Masato
