I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd never stopped training tbh, it seems like his entire life is just training and gambling

Lionel Richie posted:I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd never stopped training tbh, it seems like his entire life is just training and gambling True, but I dunno I still think Floyd doesn't want to spend his 40s worrying about being in peak physical condition and all that. at some point ya gotta want to relax & indulge while you still have some good years left. otherwise what's the point of making all that money? Also unrelated but Conor still has to deal with USADA's random testing for UFC while Floyd doesn't have to do any real drug testing, right? That owns.

Some followup on why the Marciano record isn't a huge deal in boxing: - Most fans don't think much of Marciano's record of opponents to begin with. Marciano had less than 10 world title fights and arguably competed in one of the weaker heavyweight eras. He's not considered an all-time-great heavyweight in the same way that Muhammad Ali or Joe Louis are. Marciano retired early at 32 years old and I think most fans feel that if he had kept fighting instead he probably would have lost to the likes of Floyd Patterson or Sonny Liston. - The Marciano "record" is very specific: Marciano has the best "unblemished" record of any retired world champion; in other words he has the most wins of any retired champ who never lost or drew a fight. Plenty of other fighters have racked up bigger winning streaks while active, and as far as undefeated/unblemished streaks go, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. holds that record with 87 wins before controversially drawing with Pernell Whitaker. - Even among undefeated retired champs Marciano doesn't hold the best winning record; that one goes to Ricardo Lopez with 51 wins, 0 losses and just one draw. It's no small feat to go 50-0 in boxing, certainly not against the level of competition Mayweather has fought. But 50-0 or not, he'll already go down in history as a way better fighter than Marciano.

I won't watch it because it's boxing rules and not MMA, so Floyd isn't losing. I'm curious to see the trolling McGregor will receive after losing, considering he's going to make like 100 mil. Words hurt, man.

While he'll be fine with his 100 mil, it really will sting to lose, as he absolutely definitely will. I'm all for ultra rich people suffering and feeling bad about things that don't matter, therefore not even enjoying their riches, so that'll be fun. This fight is gonna be absolute dogshitBubba Smith posted:I don't think floyd would throw the fight for more money when he's already 40 years old. too many things could happen to make a rematch a pain in the rear end, not to mention more time spent training when he's already done that for 20 years and is probably tired of it. which is sorta why he retired in the first place. he's also wealthy as 10 motherfuckers

No doubt Floyd will win, but he's not doing it by knockout is he? Conor has some chin on him and Floyd has brittle hands doesn't he?

Anything from round 6 on is a crapshoot and I wouldn't be shocked if Floyd was able to KO him. He usually coasts his way to decision wins but has KO power (26 out of 49, little over half his fights/wins are stoppages). I'd say it all depends on how much of an exclamation point he wants on this 50th win

Even if conor gassed around 3 rounds, in boxing terms, thats about two weeks.

Counterpunching is a thoughtless reflex for Mayweather. Unless he got really old in retirement, he's going to hit McGregor and probably more cleanly than he's hit most of the professional boxers he's fought lately. I would have trouble believing that McGregor will be better than for example Canelo Alvarez at avoiding Mayweather's right crosses. It's hard to say but my personal feeling is that whatever defensive conditioning McGregor has isn't going to compare to what a professional boxer who started the sport at age 13 and fought for twelve years might have. He may even have bad defensive habits that can be exploited.

Also hes got a chin and a lot of courage, and a little reach on Floyd.

to me if conor won a round, or hung in past the 8th, it would be a pretty good accomplishment i dont think he'll look like a can cuz hes got physical attributes and surely has sparred pros like weve seen footage of...
