They say that about punchers. Not about guys who were never seen as punchers in the first place. Floyd's punching power was always a result of his speed, timing and accuracy. So naturally as he ages his power is gonna diminish because those 3 things have diminished.IKSRTFO wrote:He wasn't 149 lbs neither.

Re: McGregor robbed in Mayweather fight.
I agree with you 100 percent chief! I was telling people the same thing. I believe that internally Floyd told himself that he can take those love taps from McGregor. In turn , Floyd let Conor hit him numerous times and take rounds to make the bout look competitive like you said and entertaining. If Floyd had dominated the bout from the first to the tenth, the crowd wouldn't of been entertained. The crowd got excited over the "propsects" of Conor winning. Floyd tactics from a business standpoint was genius, but he end up making boxing look bad as many probably believe that MMA fighter can hang in there with top boxers which is not true. Conor made MMA look better by the improvised performance from Floyd.Manc_Red wrote:An absolute farce last night.
At any time Floyd could have upped a gear and finished him. McGregor pawing and not looking like a Boxer was embarrassing - yes he connected a few times but if anyone thinks that wasn't prolonged to make it look like a half decent bout then they are smoking something stronger than a Benson & Hedges.
Look back at that fight, it's staged by Floyd.

That was not Floyd with great reflexes we are used to. Connor fought an old rusty guy with injured hands who would likely be beaten by Provo.

It was the fact he landed it clean not the power, I didn't think he'd be able to hit Floyd.IKSRTFO wrote:When McGregor landed that uppercut and Floyd didn't even wobble, I knew he wasn't going to hurt Floyd at all.paddy chavez wrote:When McGregor landed an uppercut early in the 1st or 2nd Rd I was a bit worried that McGregor might actually win
Re: McGregor robbed in Mayweather fight.
One clean punch on Floyd? Wasn't worried at all. It's a myth that Floyd doesn't get hit cleanly and one clean shot doesn't win a round.paddy chavez wrote:It was the fact he landed it clean not the power, I didn't think he'd be able to hit Floyd.IKSRTFO wrote:When McGregor landed that uppercut and Floyd didn't even wobble, I knew he wasn't going to hurt Floyd at all.paddy chavez wrote:When McGregor landed an uppercut early in the 1st or 2nd Rd I was a bit worried that McGregor might actually win

McGregor won the round on every card....and Floyd doesn't get hit clean very oftenIKSRTFO wrote:One clean punch on Floyd? Wasn't worried at all.

Floyd's been hit clean by DLH, Mosley, Pacquiao, Maidana, Judah, Castillo, Chavez, Agustus, and Corley.paddy chavez wrote:McGregor won the round on every card....and Floyd doesn't get hit clean very oftenIKSRTFO wrote:One clean punch on Floyd?

The Corley punch was huge and he almost had him KOd.IKSRTFO wrote:Floyd's been hit clean by DLH, Mosley, Pacquiao, Maidana, Judah, Castillo, Chavez, Agustus, and Corley.paddy chavez wrote:McGregor won the round on every card....and Floyd doesn't get hit clean very oftenIKSRTFO wrote:

Re: McGregor robbed in Mayweather fight.
The clock on the screen is not official, it's almost always a little off and sometimes way off. It's there to kind of gives you a hint.Covfefe wrote:I'm more concerned about them cutting the ninth round short. It's been happening a lot recently, unless the screen clocks are off? They signalled for ten seconds left at 21 seconds and called it about 7 seconds later.
