He should really win then McGreggor, as he fighting such a limited sport, he's above it, but we'll see, if hes in trouble he can't puss out and grapple then tap out like the limited strikers of the ufc seem to do time and time again and why the majority of ufc fights basically stink unless you're into two men grappling each other on the floor.

Good post

It was actually very poor.

I was a bit worried when Jip said it was good, but then you said it was very poor so that made me feel much better. Probably give myself a B minus.

You should stick with your original instinct. Quite poor.

Skip to 7:50 to see Floyd's condition as of 2 weeks ago.

Floyd's old saggy body looks like Jabba the Hut.

By fighting a novice McGregor, Mayweather is a embarrassment to the Sport of Boxing. Being paid 100 million to beat up a guy of the street. Zero Boxing Experience. Sad.

Can you name any fighters that currently competes from 147lbs to 160lbs that would reject an opportunity to be paid $100m to compete against a novice boxer making his pro debut?

If you had an opportunity to be paid $100m to face Conor McGregor in a one-off bout, would you reject it?

If your answer to both questions is “NO!”, then you’re effectively claiming that all boxers currently competing in the 147lbs, 154lbs and 160lbs weight classes are an “embarrassment to the sport of boxing”… and you would also deserve to be aggressively lambasted for your hypocrisy.

I've got every right to voice my displeasure about this fight. If you don't like it tough sh*t.

I loved Floyd's excuses...

"I'm not the fighter I was 20 years ago... I'm not the fighter I was 10 yrs ago... I'm not the fighter I was 5 yrs ago... I'm not even the fighter I was 2 yrs ago"

That's the excuse he’ll run with if he gets iced — which Conor intends to do... I have a max bet on Mayweather cuz I'm playing probabilities versus the betting odds which are much better for Floyd than Conor... But if I do lose, part of the sting will be assuaged because a massive upset couldn't happen to a more egotistic ass who’s ducked Keith Thurman and Kell Brook for years to fight unlikely opponents like Andre Berto and Conor McGregor.

Definitely! And they left his mic on. Good stuff from both sides. Conor came out blazing. Didn't think Floyd would be able to compete. But, I thought he held his own again. Conor giving the big FU to Showtime & Espinoza was classic!
