Tony vs conor. Who got the better striking tools?

[FlowchartRog]

Do you think Tony would have done better?

Of course not, his boxing is terrible

Again, my point was solely about Conor's vaunted "power".

Well I do think Conor has power, but I also agree that it gets overstated. Most of what he does with that left hand is distance, timing, and accuracy.

To answer the TS question I believe he has demonstrated more and generally better striking tools than Tony has.

 

[TheBulletwithWings]

Conor literally beat Mendes with body kicks. Beat Max by the entire arsenal. Beat Nate with leg kicks. Stay salty, Payne.

You know what that means?


Just because Conor said he made Mendes tired with little teeps doesn’t make it true. Mendes had 2 weeks and blew his load early trying to finish Conor.

 

[YellowBanenoo]

That he can't punch anywhere near as his little groupies - like you - believe. I'm simply refuting Frode's comment about his monstrous left hand.

His "power" was a non factor Vs Floyd, he looked like a featherfisted bum. Literally Paulie level power. To put it in perspective, Pacquiao started his career at just over 100 pounds, and Floyd said he hits much harder than Conor "PillowFists" McGregory. Floyd winning is no surprise, Floyd exposing Conor's lack of power should be surprising to most, yeah, as the one thing the MMA community thought is that Conor was this huge puncher.

Conor is a better striker than Tony, that's obvious, my point is his success comes from very good timing and accuracy, not raw power. Ngannou is the opposite, he is all raw power.

And btw, your boy didn't get beat up by a boxing GOAT, no one believes that apart from Floyd and a few people in TMT. He got beat up by a 40 year old shell of an ATG who simply plodded forward like a Mexican journeyman and beat the fuck out of him without breaking a sweat.

All the stuff you are talking about right there has nothing to do with the GIFs you have been spamming you fuckwit lol What is the point of posting him missing shots against Floyd if you wanted to argue Conor has no power. To use your own retarded logic against you, I used example of Floyd toying with Canelo and making him miss shot, does that proves Canelo have no power ??

Funny thing is you proceed to post even more irrelevant Gifs as if that would enforce what you said previously. Those prove literally nothing in regards to what you are claiming and the topic of this thread. Congratulation, you solidified yourself as a moron who has problem with reading comprehension.



Floyd who past his prime but he is still Floyd. Its hilarious to see you haters say anything to discredit Conor lol

 

[ICEibuPROfen]

I like Tony but Conor merks him with dat left hand shot

 

[markg171]

Gotta say, it's always hilarious hearing people talk about how Conor's opponent just needs to survive until the later rounds and they'll win. Literally the only example of this happening in Conor's entire career is against Mayweather, a way better opponent than Conor will literally ever face in MMA, and who was able to pull it off precisely because he was indeed much better than Conor at boxing, particularly defence where he is the best defensive boxer in history, again something that Conor doesn't have the same problem with in MMA.

Conor's had 2 decisions in his entire career and he won both of them. They were against Nate Diaz and Max Holloway, two guys known for having extreme cardio and taking over in later rounds. In 25 fights he's only had 3 go past the second round. Your gameplan is to do just that when statistically it's hasn't occurred in 88% of Conor's fights, and he won 66% of the ones that did? And of the ones that lasted under 3 rounds he won 88% of them?

The people who think that Conor's opponent is just going to drag out the fight are being delusional. His fights are quick affairs, and that favours him. Even when they're not he statistically still wins.

The Mayweather fight is actually an anomaly, not the norm. And again, Mayweather is one of the few people who could actually do that, precisely because he's the best defensive boxer in history.

Just because something could happen doesn't make it likely to happen. Especially not with someone who has as shit defence as Tony does, and gets hurt as often as he does by way less accurrate and powerful punchers than McGregor.

 

[FlyingKimurabar]

Who has better striking has nothing to do with cardio.

lol of course it does. Pacing, efficiency, are huge parts of striking. You can be way better than your opponent for 2 rounds, but if he's better the last 3 then he's the better striker.

You're thinking of " who has better striking technique while fresh "

 

[The Crow]

Lol no. One is either better or they aren’t. You’re confusing cardio with skill. A person can get tired and be overwhelmed, but that doesn’t make their opponent the better striker. Simply the one with better cardio. I wasn’t thinking of who has better striking while fresh or not, but who the better striker is.

 

[orca]

Lmao ofcourse connor. What kind of question is this

 

[FlyingKimurabar]

Lol no. One is either better or they aren’t. You’re confusing cardio with skill. A person can get tired and be overwhelmed, but that doesn’t make their opponent the better striker. Simply the one with better cardio. I wasn’t thinking of who has better striking while fresh or not, but who the better striker is.

The better striker is the one who wins the striking match ya goof, and Cardio influences that.

 

[MEATAXE**]

Some of these comments man... the hate really does blind people.

 

[The Young Wolf]

Tony made barboza shoot for a panic takedown

What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Unless you believe mmath has any bearing on striking skill this post means absolutely nothing

 

[Paynebringer]

Do you think Tony would have done better?

Tony never claimed to a boxer, wanted to box, or called out Floyd to box so your point is mute. He did call out Conor to defend and the fight fanz are still waiting on a reply.

 

[ChucksGlassJaw]

Cardio is apart of striking bud.

 

[Money509]

Is pretty obvious that conor got better kicks,hands.unless you're a ferg nuthugger

When has conor ever hurt anyone with a kick? his kicks are just spinning shit that always misses

 

[The Crow]

The better striker is the one who wins the striking match ya goof, and Cardio influences that.

No you imbecile. The better striker is the one with the better skills. An inferior striker can maybe win 1 out of 10 fights with striking, and lose the other 9. That one win doesn’t make him the better striker. Lol. Was Anderson Silva a worse striker than Weidman?

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

Lol, asking Sherdog: "Who is better, X or Conor" is like asking pink pussy hat liberals: "who is better, Hillary or Trump". This place has Conor delusion to the max. The guy is the only champ champ in history and this place thinks he is the biggest can on the roster and that every victory he had is a fluke or because 'the opponent fought stupid' - in Floyd's case, 'he meant to lose half the rounds' lel.

Amazing insight, nothing but facts, but it will go on deaf's ears. Conor haters don't want to hear facts, they want to hear people insulting Conor.

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

Wait -- I thought Conor only beat Nate Diaz because of legs kicks and because he was afraid to box him? How bout the body teeps on Chad? Or did Chad gas solely owing to two weeks notice?

We need consistency here, haters!

God Damn. Logic regarding McGregor on Sherdog are about as rare as seeing a Sasquatch in broad daylight the city.
