That why he gassed out quickly. Also, it was 40 years old, inactive retired Floyd that let him to do more. Prime Floyd would embarass Connor

I don't care. It's hard to imagine any other novice coming in and giving one of the best to ever lace them up as difficult a time as Conor did. 40 really isn't that old for a TBE, to take care of business against a newby.

It shouldn't matter if he gassed or not, the majority of boxing fans did not expect Conor to win a single, much less the 1st half of the fight. Now that he did, Floyd's inactivity comes into play.

Conor was very unconventional, bigger, and stronger. He's in his prime to. Kudos to Floyd for figuring out the enigma and stopping him.

Well generally i agree - i was also surprised how Connor did vs Floyd, he did better than i thought

49 genuine fights. One fake one.

I would suggest you to take another look at the Conor fight when you know Floyds fightplan. It's pretty damn obvious that floyd controlled every single aspect of the fight every single second and everything happend the way it happend because Floyd wanted it that way. He got schooled worse that i suspected.

Not sure if he was that strong. Considering he hit Floyd a few times clean and couldn't even manage to do what 140lb Corley, Mosley, and Judah did.

Technically McGregor fight isn't fake, but objectively that was a mismatch and a circus show. A popular boxer fought a popular athlete from other sport to get paid.

Correct, and Benvenutti was just one example of a fighter going better than 50-0 prior to Mayweather.

Pretending 50-0 was something never achieved before was pure smoke and mirrors. Funniest part was how many actually bought the story :lol:

the 50-0 of floyd was for a period the standing record with the most wins on a 100 percent winning ratio. for now its 51-0. others like nino and pep and chavez had more but eventually lost and now dont have 100 percent wins. 50-0 has been done before but 50-0 and retired hadnt until floyd, assuming hes actually retired

so depends what the boxer retires with, i doubt menayothin retires with 100 percent winning ratio

Carlos Zarate started 52-0 with 51 KO’s. Yori Boy Campas was 56-0 with 50 KO’s. There have been quite a few guys who went undefeated past 50 fights.

Imagine having the dedication and putting in the hard work to boil down to 105lbs for over a decade! And continuing to be world class past the age many in your division are retiring... Real testament to Wanheng and his dedication and longevity

He is powerful. His punches in boxing were strange. The way he throws his punches in MMA generates much more leverage and power than the way he was throwing in boxing. I guess he had to change his style which affected his leverage in order to be competitive in boxing. Had he fought Floyd with the similar approach he fights in MMA, he probably would have gotten trashed early. He throws a lot into the shots in MMA. He was smart enough to know Floyd would not get hit with the same types of shots he throws in MMA, and he would have been countered to death.

As far as physically, Conor is quite a bit more powerful than Floyd. But that didn't come into play when they fought.
