You're going to have to wipe Conor's mess out of your eyes because I made no such claim and i don't recall anybody else in this thread doing so, either. How Mayweather fought someone eleven or twelve years ago is completely irrelevant because he's a million miles removed from that guy in the present day. Those fights are not indicative of who he is now and hasn't been for well over a decade.
And there's a huge difference between being aggressive and being careless. Mayweather fought aggressively against Corley and Judah but he wasn't lackadaisically plodding forward into range with zero setups and zero regard for what was being thrown in his direction. He was with Conor because he could - the threat was never there.
^^^^^^^
Sounds super impressed with Conor there.
The claim was, "Floyd has never fought like that before"
I refuted it. Plain and simple. He HAS. End of story. Learn basic reading comprehension before coming at me again.
And go actually watch Floyd's fights vs Judah and Corely. Youve clearly never seen them.
Funny how you are just repeating what Paulie said word for word.
You haters have no mind of your own. Just sheep parroting each other.
Let me make it simple for you. Pay attention to their lead hands during the fight
-Floyd was TRYING to do everything HE ALWAYS DOES vs southpaws. Try to control with the leadhand, off set and keep at range with his jab, time right straights, land lead rights behind his leadhand or jab.
-CONOR with his own lead hand was constantly positioning his leadhand higher above Floyd's leadhand
This accomplished several things for Conor
1. Easy to just parry or swat away Floyd's lead hand or jab
2. Threaten countering over the top and discourage Floyd's jab hand.
-Conor with his leadhand was the one controlling Floyd.
-Conor with his leadhand was out boxing Floyd from range
-Conor's along with his leadhand control, was fienting Floyd out and mixing up with jabs to consistently keep Floyd off balance and second guessing
-Conor was countering Floyd's right straights
-Conor systematically was shutting down all the weapons Floyd uses against southpaws
-This is why Floyd WAS FORCED TO ADJUST or risk losing
Conor was toying Floyd from the outside. Floyd needed to get inside.
Floyd never had to get inside of Manny or walk Manny down because Floyd was able to simply control Manny from range with his jab and pick Manny off with rights every time Manny would lunge forward to get in.
Conor shut down Floyd's jab hand, discouraged Floyd's right with counters, and was the one controlling Floyd from long range with his lead hand
That's why Floyd HAD TO SWITCH it up against Conor.
Conor BROUGHT that out of Floyd.
You Conor hating MMA fans know nothing about boxing and you just parrot the words of Paulo as gospel. As if Paulie that clown is unbiased and objective lmao
Sugar Ray: "I was surprised. Conor did well. Conor impressed me"
Klitschko: "McGregor produced beautiful boxing"
Foreman: "Conor was about to win. The ref saved Floyd"
