Torso looks like a dog sticking out it's tongue.

I beg to differ.
(i) Tony already beat him, true that, but it was far from easy (not to mention the obvious staph infection),
(ii) he's a bad matchup for Khabib,
(iii) he's even worse of a matchup for Conor, and
(iv) I honestly think he would keep it on the feet and outbox Eddie.
Maybe I am.
Not even. Conor is the average LW height (3 inches shorter than Ferguson, for exqmple) and while he has big shoulders, he's got quite a narrow build. You don't make FW 20 times if you're a natural WW. There's not a single WW on the roster that could make 145.170 is his 'true' weight class if we're being honest.

You could say that about any fighter in any weight class, really. No natural featherweight could make flyweight, no nayural middleweight could make lightweight.
Conor definitely pushed the limits of weight cutting to make 145, but he's a tiny WW.
Obviously I was referring to natural weight as in their natural weight class. That's generally the term everyone uses to describe a fighter's ideal weight class based on their weight.Height has nothing to do with weight.
And if no other Welterweight could make Featherweight, then it's because WW isn't their natural weight class, obviously. Same with other weight divisions. of course a FW could make Flyweight if Featherweight was their natural weight, same with all the other divisions you named.
Another difference being Conor never missed weight at fw, so fuck that haters nonsense.Yer the difference is Conor moved up to his true weight class which is 155 while Lee and Khabib are killing themselves just to avoid the guys at 170. This alone should tell you enough.
And he also does a great chicken dance.
