Sure, to a point.

I’m sure Dallas, starved at the running back position as they are, is devastated by this news.

Willie Pep, Ray Robinson, Jack Johnson, Henry Armstrong, Sugar Ray Leonard, hell, even among his contemporaries, Floyd is behind Roy Jones Jr, Pernell Whitaker and probably Bernard Hopkins. Floyd is a great fighter, a generational fighter even. But there is no credible boxing discussion that would consider him as…

So it’s actually the people who swim in those pools who are positive.

Well, if history is any indicator, as long as Zeke keeps performing well, the punishment can be pushed back indefinitely.

Cowboys fan here. I guess we’ll just roll with Zeke who happens to be better than Williams. That is, until the league tells us how they want to handle his abuse investigation the Ginger hammer has been mulling for a fucking year.

No way the Steelers live in a glass house, that would make it impossible for Big Ben to rape anyone.

i tended to try and use the term martial arts rather than mixed for a reason, while you could argue that mma goes back to jeet kun do from the 60s, and sanshou and pankraeon from hundreds of years ago, i tend to talk about floyd a sa martial artist, despite what an idiot of one he is, because the roots of mma go into…

So how would Floyd beat McGregor in a no-rules fight? Kick him in the balls? Mayweather would have no shot, it’s not even remotely possible.

Some of the MMA fans here are very defensive about the sport.

I’m curious though, what would constitute a non-ass kicking to you?

They’re different sports entirely. What you’re describing like putting Usain Bolt and Raphael Nadal in a footrace, watching Bolt destroy Nadal, and claiming Tennis has no legitimacy.

i thk we all know this is a farce, putting an mma fighter against a boxer in a boxing match means nothing, the whole point is that martial artists have more moves they can use, putting them in a situation where they are constrained to using only a fraction of them proves nothing. lucky charms wanted a big paycheck and…

oh please. DJ is legit beyond question, so was GSP, even Jones. Plenty of super legit athletes in MMA. Conor going outside MMA is largely seen as the cash grab it is. Your take is not even hot, just bitter.

I’m not so sure he will get wrecked. How well can Mayweather handle grappling? The reason Rousey got her ass handed to her is she had no idea how to handle getting punched in the face and she pretty much did not train for it. So unless you can prove Mayweather has trained to handle someone getting inside and slamming…

Are you seriously saying that if Mayweather couldn’t game a highly rigid set of rules that narrowly constrict “a fight” into a boxing match, he would stand a chance?

What are these things that are barred in MMA that would equal McGregor (or any other MMA fighter) that if allowed would result in them getting their ass kicked in an “actual” fight?

Connor would absolutely dismantle and destroy Floyd in an octagon or ANYWHERE except a boxing ring. So, what is this legitmacy you speak of?

I mean, I get what you are trying to say here but saying McGregor would get his ass kicked in an actual fight is just.....I’ll call it absurd. I wanna call it stupid but that may be a stretch.
