Is Sean Strickland MMA’s answer to Floyd Mayweather ?

[Stagliano]

Well Strickland is modern era …this is an argument to be had… the training and skill level is far superior today compared to the past which was quite rudimentary .

Agreed. Sean would ran through any of these GOATs candidates with ease.

Sean has brought a hybrid iCarly Philly shell guard style to MMA which exposed a great kickboxer like Izzy who had no answer for it

His performance against Izzy was Mayweather like

Made Izzy look like an amateur

 

[wolffanghameha]

It's a sign of a great boxer that he can make it all look so easy and almost like he's not even doing anything. No big, obvious movements like Cody Garbrant and no need for lots of variety to his attack.

Sean is a great fighter and was impressive
But Floyd dominated for over 20 years undefeated, beat 23 world champions, was champ in 5 weight divisions and is possibly the greatest boxer in his generation.
Let's not get too carried away

Yep, only one mma fighter in my eyes measures up

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

I think Sean can read. So no.. not alike..

Yes. The one and only Saint Jones, successor to Pope Francis. The most perfect human in creation

Sean is now being called the Floyd Mayweather of MMA…. Sometimes I think I should delete my account so I don’t have to hear everyone takes on everything.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Wow they do look similar with their stances and defense.

Great call, TS.

Sean will get our respect back from Jake Paul and any other boxer that beat an MMA guy.

Sean vs Canelo?

 

[Huligani]

Let's see Mr. Strickland rack up some title defenses before we compare him to one of the best boxers of all time.

Of course, some title defenses still wouldn't justify comparing him to an undefeated (granted he should've had one loss) multiple weight boxing world champion who demonstrated one of the most advanced skillsets we've ever seen in that sport.

Lots of padding in some of those boxing titles … the ufc title Is offical .. their achievements are closer than u think

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

no he is no Floyd

He improved!

Sean admittedly doesn't even have a GED.

I admittedly have a GED and I'm still stupid.

 

[Bork Neslar]

Not really. You're just overreacting (as many of you shertards tend do do here).

 

[mudrubble]

Because of a hybrid philly shell?

Thats all it takes to be the Floyd of MMA?

And shertards. It's a chemical reaction.

 

[RemyR]

This fucking guy really is comparing the boxing of Strickland to Mayweather...

Occupationally speaking, it's treated as an equivalent to a diploma, but a lot of research in the criminal field implies that as a factor for success, GED doesn't rank. It's diploma or higher

[purpleheart]

What i just don't understand; the philly shell plus checking kicks high and low combined with a push kick here and there seemed like a good approach. But does this not invite a full on charging in ncaa takedown. Or is the risk of getting kneed to the head, soccer kicked while diving in too dangerous?

I’m comparing Floyd to Strickland

 

[RoñaCastroJr]
