TBH I don't care, I wonder who dares to show up against Tyrone Spong, assuming someone dares this time, unlike last time.

No doubt. He's very tough, but the degree of mismatch would have his face a mask of blood in quick order. he would need a super aggressive fighter to have a chance. His counter left and power are absolutely world class.
In MMA it's world class. In Boxing its telegraphed and barely gets thrown for fear of what comes back. In the boxing world his hand speed is average at best and his footwork is terrible.

Above there's suggestions it would be better for him to face 'easier to hit' fighters like Canelo or Thurman. McGregor wouldn't lay a glove on either of them either. They'd smash him to pieces. It would be dangerous.

I keep saying it but I have to stick by it. Bradley Skeete, the current British champion, would beat McGregor in a boxing match. Easily.

No, it's the best in mma. World class in boxing and he certainly wouldn't have any fear.

I agree 100%. I think even Provodnikov would look like a defensive wizard against Conor. McGregor will make Provo look like Willie Pepp :OhYes:
