Can we stop with the narrative, that Conor is an amazing wrestler that can shoot in and take down anybody who doesn't train?(He never shoots in from wrestling distance)...So Conor would be a boxer 100% of the time even if the boxer trained for a year.

Just look at how easily Floyd stuffs the takedown LMFAO....Floyd has literally never trained to stuff a takedown.


Now lets compare that to Maidana

Maidana has never trained MMA...yet he easily took down floyd....Something the so called "takedown expert" Conor couldn't do.


I hear all you people talking shit about Floyd taking 10 rounds to stop Conor........Why don't I hear shit about Conor failing to takedown Mayweather yet Maidana took him down easily.




LMFAO @ Conor Fanboys/MMA elitist....You guys don't know shit about MMA or boxing.


I would pick a boxer who trained TDD/Leg kicks/Defensive BJJ over Conor, any time......Give them 1 year of training and Conor will get destroyed.

Nate Diaz is essentially a boxer.....Dude is lanky as fuck so he is to takedown but look at how he fights, rarely throws kicks and just boxes....In fact he just started learning how to defend kicks a couple of fights ago, that was like his biggest weakness lol.

He was doing illegal acts thru out the fight.....Hitting behind the head is illegal in both MMA/Boxing, and he was 100% doing it on purpose...hitting in the balls as well.


Look at the takedown, very sloppy, its not that he let go..Is that floyd stuffed the takedown.
 
Top Boxers are A-level athletes. A few of them could in fact outwrestle Conor in MMA
 
Quite simple really - despite not training in wrestling at all, Maidana is simply a much better, more explosive athlete than Conor "PillowFists" McGregory.
 
If you died, your epitaph would read: Nothing of Value was Lost
 
I just came here to like every post that shits on McGregor.

You're an absolute moron. If this was another time, you'd have your fingers cut off and your tongue fed to the dogs, and rightfully so.

Where top level MMA fighters tend to really shine over less experienced fighters is being able to mix multiple phases of fighting together - transitioning from grappling to striking, wrestling straight into subs, sweeps to standing up and striking again immediately. This isn't an easy thing to learn and generally takes years and many fights to do it - you can train kickboxing or BJJ or wrestling and if you are a freak pick it up fairly quickly (not one year quickly, but much faster than most people); but being able to integrate them together takes a lot of time and experience - generally it takes a lot of fights in MMA to do it. Not unlike building up the ability to go 12 rounds as a boxer at high intensity, which typically takes years, even for talented boxers young in their careers. This is what allows MMA fighters to land strikes against elite strikers that would destroy them in a kickboxing match, or land takedowns on high level wrestlers who would ragdoll them in a pure wrestling match.

As a separate issue, I have no doubt that there are boxers CAPABLE of becoming elite MMA fighters with years of work. But whereas a #3 ranked boxer might make it into the top levels of MMA, a #1 ranked boxer might not even come close - you see this in specialists from other disciplines coming to MMA all the time. There are high level Judokas who were competitive in the UFC, and ones who get throttled in smaller orgs; same with kickboxers, wrestlers, BJJ players and so on. This is particularly true with a super-narrow sport like boxing.

It was obvious Conor played the rules of his contract right to their breaking point but not beyond...took Lloyd's back effortlessly, the hammer fists, shooting in for easy takedowns. To be honest, this boxing match is what proved to me that boxing and fighting are light years apart.

Everyone but Conor already knew that. Also what you are praising in Conor is called cheating.
 
We really don't know. If they fought tomorrow Conor could probably take Floyd down. But like some said, Conor is not that great of a wrestler and Floyd has great movement and reflexes, so it's not completely ridiculous to think he could probably stuff Conor's takedowns. Especially if he had a few months to prepare. At the end of the day it all depends on how talented someone is. There are fighters who don't come from a wrestling background but are able to pick up defensive wrestling moves rather quickly. Who knows if Floyd is one of those guys? We don't know, so it's useless to talk about it.
 
This is how badly Conor has corrupted the minds of his haters - Even after he loses, they still have to make up shit about him just to further feel vindicated in their hatred for him. Bless their bum souls. Just look at the loser above me that calls himself Shitnobi... He actually thinks Floyd might be able to stuff any of Conor's takedowns if he had a few months of training. <45>You can't reason with these people, all you can do is point at 'em and laugh.
 
Agree.

Floyd is the ufc LW champ.

Why he didn't receive his belt is beyond me,.

Seriously! You troll haters ate getting more and more pathetic. You think that was a proper take down attempt!?

If Conor wanted to take Floyd down, he would have taken him down, with absolutely no problems at all. To say someone with no take down defence experience, would stop a mma fighters taking you down is just stupid!
