All careers are a quest for less and less technical expertise - the doctor who can barely write, the engineer who makes it to management and forgets how to do math, and so on. In this way, we see that Floyd had reached the absolute pinnacle point of modern humanity, he no longer needs to concern himself with reading.

Conor is going to brutally and insanely destroy Floyd in the same manner as my posts are crushing it nonstop within this thread. Really A+ stuff.

I'd give a poo poo if they had a boxing match in an Octagon. McGregor still loses, but at least it takes away one of Mayweather's advantages in ring control and hands the greater experience to McGregor.

As it stands, I see no reason to contribute to either one's Quest for More Cash.

round 1: a minute of footwork, then they get right into it .. mayweather is probably the more passive of the two
round 2: in the clinch, both of them reach for the others shorts, exposing their penis and balls for the world to see. mayweather still biding his time
round 3: they have gay sex with eachother

the most hosed up part of this is that floyd is going to be subject to standard nsac drug testing where you take a vial of urine and whisper at it "hey do u know where i can get some steroids" and if they've been using enough steroids that their bodily fluids have their own gym membership then it answers you back. but conor is part of the ufc so will be under usada.

Floyd agreed to USADA testing. It was one of Conor's only demands.

Mayweather has undergone USADA testing before; most notably leading to "IV-Gate" when Mayweather was revealed to have used an IV banned by WADA but not USADA before the Pacquiao fight

Octagons are huge compared to rings and don't have any corners, so if anything this would make Mayweather's advantage even more pronounced. He already mandates a larger than average ring for everyone he fights.

One of my favourite things about lurking the boxing threads sometimes is how it turns out that all the judges that we complain about in MMA threads are just as hated in boxing threads, if not more so cause they have more rounds to gently caress up.

That was actually CJ Ross who also scored Pac-bradley 1 for you (I mean Tim bradley). She retired from judging after the Canelo fight.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's partially responsible for at least one of Leonard Garcia's inexplicable decision wins

Also was Steve Mazzagatti a boxing ref? Let him officiate the Conor-Floyd fight if we're going full train wreck

I think floyd is defijitely craftier in the clinch (cheating) than conor and i also think conor is physically weak so it should be interesting to see if conor can control him. And also kovalev /ward 2 will be awesome and is a,good example of a dude using traditional wrestling in the clinch againwt a crafty boxijg clincher (cheater)
