Which was more impressive, Conor or Francis boxing performance

[dogsdonutsdragons]

which performance was better

Conor vs Mayweather

or

Francis vs Fury

obviously francis but people should consider a few things about conor vs floyd. Floyd in way better shape- didn't go through a drug addiction weight gain binge years back. Weight class-Cross over fights at hw- punchers chances increases overall and athletic ability is less.
conor seemed under prepared cardio wise for floyd but it also could have just been an accumulation of shots that did that.
Both guys on paper their path to victory was landing their power punch clean. Conor fought a bit to much like that was the game plan while francis boxed like the fight could go the distance. Francis knocking down tyson was insane.
The thing is its been done before tyson has been dropped on a few occasions by the lesser skilled boxer who posses insane power. People have rarely hit or dropped floyed in his long career. So i dont think conors performance is something to shit on but clearly what francis did is insane. Oddly enough it didn't leave me convinced the same would happen in a rematch or that it will translate into a winning boxing career but we'll see what happens.

Gotta go with Conor because he faced the possible GOAT and was winning before he gassed.

 

[Busgosu]

francis just lack the grace and fluidity that come with conor's fight style. power wise they are both the heaviest punchers in the world but conor just need his explosiveness and francis relies on his strength and size.

it's a shame cause if conor would've landed that upper cut he would've knock floyd out no doubt.

2017 conor was probably the goat martial artist

wish canelo would fight conor, I know canelo would never take the fight because he knows the stake is too high, conor could easily knock him out with his current power.

Gotta go with Conor because he faced the possible GOAT and was winning before he gassed.

he faced 40 y.o. (11 years older than Conor), way smaller, retired pillow-fisted Mayweather, who took his "dim mak" left like nothing, and still got REKKED. Also LOL at "was winning"
Ngannou debuted against a younger, reigning linear HW champ still on his prime who hits hard af and is a fucking giant and managed to knocked him down and ultimately took him to a questionable split dec.

trying too hard

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

trying to hard

Sorry.

 

[IncreaseDanaPay]

The guy that arguably won or the guy that literally got the snot beat out of him?

Tough one.

Conor didn’t get the shot beat out of him. Did you even watch the fight? Floyd couldn’t even knock Conor down. Floyd was getting embarrassed by Conor until he gassed out. The ref saved Floyd from being hurt by that body shot

 

[IncreaseDanaPay]

Conor fought arguably the greatest boxer of all time in a much more skilled weight class and gave him a tough fight. Francis fought a sloppy 300lb heavyweight.

I mean...

This:

Or this:

It's just really tough to say.

Nice cherry picking images. Floyd the supposed “goat” got humiliated by a 0-0 mma fighter

Floyd didn't strike me as very well prepared physically, he took like 2 or 3 rounds off and didn't throw anything damaging until the 7th or 8th round, beat him up in 9 barely making an effort and beat him down in round 10, still no effort but yes damaging punches.,

Conor is still a small man so with Floyds skill alone he could walk Conor like a dog for 10 rounds, and he did. Playing around using shoulder blocks and blocking uppercuts by punching shoulders VS Ngannou is not the same as doing it VS Conor. So being slightly our of Shape VS someone who takes training seriously and has the power of Francis will always be riskier and labored than VS a manlet like Conor. (At that level and sport)

Can’t stand McGregor but he at least he hurt Mayweather which was incredible. Francis landed six punches in total in the last two rounds, gassed after four rounds and had his face jabbed in for thirty mins. He obviously knocked Tyson down but it never hurt him.
Francis has the more deluded fans which is impressive though. He loses a fight and they all scream that it was a victory lol

 

[AdamWarlock]

in retrospect conor did way better than people think
all conor haters got are just insults, they can't make a decent case to save their lives

 

[mudrubble]

Tough one.

But the snot-beatee was Conor! McGregor! Surely that makes it more impressive. No?

Is it 2016? Wait....

 

[mudrubble]

Conor because he made more money

Ok, we'll ask again in 2 years' time.

Not to say, as we can see, Floyd even helped Conor with his cold problem. Probably he breathed way better after those punches.

Do mma fans still think Conor was beating Floyd?
