Gridiron Godfather Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 26 minutes ago, Adam Kurkjian said: Gotcha. If you want to see him when he came up, Youtube one of his fights from the late 90s. He was just as elusive, but he would pounce on guys and knock them out or get a TKO when he saw an edge. As close to perfect in execution in the sport as it gets. This isn't 20 years ago. Hasn't fought in 2 years and last true TKO was like 10 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel his hype is based off of a period of time that is nearly two decades in the past. The way he fights now is not what the masses want to see for a primetime slot on the fight card. Add to that, he boasts and showboats as if he is a true fighter, which he is not. Especially his joking on Conor losing three fights knowing good and well he would be TKO'd or forced into submission by some amateurs in the octagon. I understand why people don't like his fighting style now. But when he was at his best, there were few in the history of the sport who could do it like he could. And you're comparing two different sports in your second paragraph. They're not the same thing. 3 minutes ago, Gridiron Godfather said: This isn't 20 years ago.

I mean, obviously he doesn't fight the same way. He's 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Hearns/Hagler fight program framed on my wall. And the Gotti/Ward trilogy is a favorite DVD of mine. Not to mention all the Iron Mike fights. But really once UFC began, I flipped over almost 100%. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagler is from Brockton, as you know, and I know a lot of people from there. UFC obviously has its act together way more than boxing now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendsofthefall Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Mayweather said this fight is going to be the anti-Pacquiao. He said he's going to mix it up instead of just dancing. Remains to be seen. Another possibility is the fight is rigged and they have McGregor winning to force the rematch. Floyd is all about his $$. Wouldn't put it past him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a huge Conor fan and hope it's an entertaining fight & not just Mayweather running around all night. McGregor has nothing to lose & I'd expect him to come out firing and throwing everything in the first 4-5 rounds. Maybe he catches Mayweather being cocky and finishes him up. Then the rematch conspiracy talk can start & both will stand to make even more $ Wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
