He throws punches like a shitty quarterback, off his back foot, glad someone sees these nuances.

Whatever you want buddy.
Yup, that's his best chance of winning too. He sure as shit isn't gonna out box floyd that's for sure. MMA striking and pro boxing aren't close to being the same thing you have to move differently. When your opponent comes forward in boxing you don't have to back up you can grab him and the ref will reset you. Much easier to set your feet when you're only worried about left/right hands. Offensively if you only throw punches your whole life you should be good at it. You ever seen a boxer ko'd the way DC was ko'd will his hands so low? Of course not, they're not being kicked in the body, legs or having their knee stomped backwards. It looks like shit to pro boxers, but boxing methods would be equally ineffective in mma. CM has trained boxing a couple months and mma his whole life. some habits are hard to break. remember the odds tyson vs douglas anyone can lose at anytime in combat sports
You guy's who think mayweather can't be touched or challenged go back and watch his fight against castillo. LC made it a brawl and beat floyd. He didn't get the decision, but watch that fight again and tell me FM won.

Which one, the first one Floyd won by unanimous decision or the second he won by unanimous decision?

It's hard to ko someone while wearing boxing gloves and throwing off your back foot. Those slap mma punches won't work in a traditional boxing match. This is a boxing match. Only people that have ever hit floyd were trying to punch threw him. From what I've seen mcgregor trys to hit people. You gotta give someone whiplash to ko them with a boxing glove. Only weapon mcgregor has is that straight left.... truth of the matter is that mcgregor shouldn't even be fighting this guy. It's a really lopsided match up. Can he possibly win? Sure ! It's like you hitting a home run off a major league pitcher. It can happen but it's most likely fucken not , bro. Mayweather has weapons that mcgregor has never seen before. People say mayweather is going to be surprised because he's never seen anything like that.. wtf, isn't it mcGregor that's going to be surprised and overwhelmed by a man with a higher skill set? You guys are reaching for the shorter straw imo.

The first one was close, second one took away all doubt. Oscar would have fucked floyd up if they would have fought when oscar was younger. I truly feel Manny would have to. Floyd is the best at picking who and when he fights them. Not to take anything away from him, he still had to fight some of the best in the world. With his skill and the advantage of picking your own fights, He's unstoppable. And look, he did it again. He's fighting a guy that doesn't even box. Gunna tenderize some big brute and make over a hundred million real quick. They should have given floyd the winner of the canelo and ggg fight. Instead they give him an overrated ufc fighter that doesn't know what he's doing but thinks he knows everything.
Where have you seen McGregor punch off his back foot? In mma where you have to. Standing in a boxing stance with your weight on the front foot in mma, you're fucked. Look at diaz vs mcgregor 2. Nate has a boxing style with his weight forward and his leg was fucked up within the first 2 or 3 minutes of that fight. In my opinion the leg kicks were more responsible for him being dropped multiple times than the punches themselves.
I'm not picking cm to win. I agree theres a very very small chance of an upset. I'm just saying what we've seen from cm is all mma fighting and training. It doesn't mean he can't throw a punch or has no ko power in boxing because
we've never seen him only box. Comparing boxing to mma is like comparing a 100 yard sprinter to a marathon runner. both are timed running races, but are completely different.
This one. How does one win every statistical category by A LOT and lose by decision? Maybe some old school math Vagas + boxing= bullshit.

In that video with van herden, everytime that dude threw mcgregor would be pushed to his back foot and be completely off balance slapping little shots. No one thinks mcgregor won't kill mayweather in real life, thats a fact. Mayweather doesn't stand a chance, but in purely boxing, mcgregor don't stand a chance. Mma style stances don't do shit for you in boxing. They actually take power away from your punches. The way mcgregor boxes he's hardly ever standing in a position to torque his lower body. A boxing stance is the best stance for punching. It gives you maximum leverage and balance.

Mcgregor was boxing before he started mma. He doesn't have anywhere near the experience Floyd does but the luck of the Irish is real. Eat your lucky charms

He is smart, try the noodle arm shoulder warm up I'm telling you!
I thought it was weird until I saw the boxers mocking him. I had a laugh and then saw a video of Conor where he comments that a lot of them looked "stiff", I watched again, sure enough stiff as shit... I tried it... it works.

@ 26 minutes in she gives her opinion on Floyd as a man and as a boxer, (she's not a fan of his btw)
..and then at 28:11 she tells what I suspected about Terrance Crawford, line 'em up & knock 'em down (she actually says lined em up and played with them), is she a liar?
