    Would you like to explain how using the team's performance over last season's 20 games with Nurkic to extrapolate a prediction for this coming season's 82 games with Nurkic is even remotely the same "common sense and logic" as expecting someone who's never boxed professionally to knock out the most successful boxer of our generation?

    I believe that you have the right of it. The biggest disadvantage Conor has is the style of fighting will take him out of his flow. He is going to have to think too much, rather than react.

    Still want Coner to beat down the punk in the first round.

    You're probably right, but I'm also my buddy's ticket to the watch party. Plus I'm curious to see what it's like to watch a big event like this in a sports bar. I've never done so before.

    Mayweather tried to manipulate that (and every time Conor said the word "boy") into Conor being some sort of a racist. I just find it funny considering who mayweather is as a person, nevermind that he also called mcgregor a faggot on stage at one of the press conferences. Scum.

    Humans only.

    Seriously though, If I didn't already invite someone from church, I'd totally have been down with that.

    Who would beat his ass? In a real fight Conor would murk them. Of course they would have a punchers chance, but come on. In a real fight Conor would wipe the floor with these dudes.

    "in a real fight"?

    We're talking a boxing match. You know, the one he's gonna lose tomorrow. But hey if you get 150MM are you really losing?

    Oscar De La Hoya???? C'mon bruh... but besides him:

    Manny Pacquiao
    Saul Alvarez
    Miguel Cotto
    Victor Ortiz
    Shane Mosley
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Ricky Hatton
    Zab Judah
    Arturo Gatti
    Sharmba Mitchell would WHOOP Conor's ass.

    I won't go through the whole list but these are just a few of the 49 who lost to Floyd who would Smash Conor in a boxing match.

    I'm not disagreeing that those people would beat conor in a pure boxing match. You had just stated some of the people Floyd fought would beat his ass. The lines have been blurred in this thread on if we are talking a real fight or boxing.

    In boxing I agree. He seemed to do pretty well sparring against an out of shape former champion paulie malignaggi though.

    I mean, when we are talking about boxing vs mma.... i think everyone would rather be good at being trained in mma and being able to whoop peoples asses in a real fight.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Which makes more money? I honestly don't know now, but I imagine when these guys got into boxing, it was much more lucrative at the top end. If that changes, the Mayweathers and Mosleys, etc, of the future may choose to spend their lives training in MMA. Otherwise, boxing will probably still be preferred.
