Im going to laugh so hard when McGregor completely trounces Mayweather and Max Kellerman's head explodes.
People act like Conor is some free swinging gorilla with great power, but no real skill.
His power and speed are very good, but not generationally great... Its his timing, movement, efficiency, and spatial awareness that make him great.
It would be like someone saying Lebron is great because of his size and jumping ability. But then completely ignored his speed, IQ, and vision


i guess we'll ignore the absolute total difference between an octagon and a ring. the difference between boxing and MMA is worlds apart.

Watch Toney against Couture when Toney went to the MMA, fight didnt even last 2 min

you give all these high praises to connor but where is the praise for floyd? the guy is the best defensive boxer the world has ever seen and probably in the discussion for being the best boxer ever. it ain't like he is meeting some chump of the block...

Warriors (the best that ever did it statistically) against the Nix (great fanbase that pretends the team is good).
I got the burner-Kevin Durant

Cream rises to the top-Nic Claxton

Jordan's Bulls or Durant's Warriors (Mayweather) vs Marbury's Beijing Ducks (McGregor).

Greatest of all time who was thought to be done with his sport comes back for a one time engagement against an opponent who loves to run his mouth.


But when was McGreggor thought to be "done with his sport"? I'm assuming after this one time engagement he'll continue on with UFC... :lol:

Might NEED the full 10 rounds for Nate to get a dunk that counts, though. SO, Nate by Decision, or Gorilla by TKO? :lol:

That would be essentially a high-school practice, but with women instead of pylons.

LeBron James Vs. 40 year old Steph Curry in a 3 point shootout.

In an actual game (fight) LeBron(Conor) would dominate him, but in a specialized match that incorporates one part of the game Steph(Floyd) is going to probably run away with it, unless the 2 years off, and taking it lightly has withered his skill away a lot more than people are thinking it has.

In any boys vs WNBA game there has to be one incentive... The winner gets $2000 per point margin,,, because I think at some point the boys will play lazily and make the game closer than it should be

malice at the palace, where ron artest sucker punches mayweather instead of some random fan, then they fight.

lavar ball joins the nba for the cavs.
MJ comes out of retirement, and joins the warriors to ringchase in order to top robert horry/Bill Russell.


MJ/Lavar sub in at SF and go mano-a-mano in the NBA Finals in garbage time after most of the fans already left.

When conor turns mayweather into dust, we'll see more fair comparisons.

A charging artest would scare me more if I was Mayweather tbh
