bjornmma1 Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Makes no sense. But if McGregor is asking for retarded fights like against Diego Sanchez, might as well do the Manny-bout instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Why not... I mean from retirement to can crushing to facing a current world champion boxer who is tiny in comparison to him, I mean whatever. If it happens, we'd watch. Don't act like you don't all love the shit out of McGregor and his legacy! Even when you hate him you love him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thb Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 No, not at all. I would not tune in to see that 'fight' in a million years. Not even if people started shouting from the rooftops that they just saw one of the craziest KO's ever? Seriously, could be an entertaining fight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 I'd watch two bums fight in a parking lot. I might not enjoy it, but I'd watch it. I'd enjoy McGregor vs Pacquiao as long as both of them took it seriously and it wasn't a facade. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadDisney Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I would love to see Canelo vs McGregor, that would be hilarious.

clydebankblitz Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 I want to see McGregor win a boxing fight not lose. CConor would lose to a half decent amateur. People don't get just how beneficial it is to fight Mayweather when you have so little pro boxing experience. He gives you all the range and pace you could ask for.

clydebankblitz Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Mayweather played with McGregor. It was humiliating, as was to be expected. I never get this take at all. Floyd fought like he always does. I think people are just so shocked that he possibly lost a round even though he loses a lot of rounds usually but people forget. Floyd fought like he always does and in no way played with McGregor at all. He came out, fought on the defence, stayed back towards the ropes. He's done this in almost every fight, especially as he tries to figure out the opponent at the start. McGregor was gifted range and pace he wouldn't get against anyone else and his style of boxing at a close distance, landing a shot and getting back, is something we actually haven't seen Mayweather face a lot. He had a tiny bit of trouble with that in the first few rounds. He turned the gas on slightly and felt Conor wither. From that point he considered it game, set match. Conor had to work so hard for every shot, that by the middle rounds Mayweather sussed that he was tiring and piled on the pressure. It wasn't some extravagant plot. Some highly unusual fight where one fighter doesn't taunt but still "plays" with his opponent. It was a straight up regular boxing match. McGregor could look good because all of the elements an MMA fighter lacks in boxing, Mayweather doesn't typically exploit anyways. But Mayweather has never once in his career let someone land punches on him. For the past decade, maybe a decade and a half, he's never once "tired to make a show". He goes in, does what he does, and wins. Simple. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He goes in, does what he does, and wins. Simple. What might have 'blurred' your vision is the fact that Mayweather plays with most of his opponents. He gives them a false sense of confidence (without being in danger himself) and then breaks them down. Mayweather is a true master of the game, as nobody can deny. He could have totally humiliated McGregor, but I found this 'fight' already more than humiliating enough for McGregor. PS: someone downvoted your post, so I upvoted it again. You were just stating your opinion, nothing wrong with that at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentor Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 With Conor is is all about the money at this point, It would not surprise me if he takes a payday and do a few WWE shows in the next couple of years. He clearly does not have the size to be a proper WWE wrestler, but i do not think they will care, his draw and mic skills will be enough to bring him in.

I don't mind that either, it's his life, his choice, but then he should walk around thinking that he is the best fighter ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
