We Are Pars Fans! Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I think Hearn is using Bellew to see if Haye still has it before deciding to put AJ in or not with him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayweather would get murdered in the octagon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) There's no way a peak McGregor has the slightest chance against a peak Mayweather in the ring, in an octagon Mayweather is favourite until he gets caught in a grapple, I'm not convinced McGregor would get near him in either sphere. It's all pretty pointless now anyway as Money is an old man and old men eventually lose to a diddy if they hang around long enough.

His boxing for mma is very good and quite a technical fighter standing up. You're correct however in that a straight boxing match he'll get his face jabbed off. Nitpick away! I don't closely follow MMA so have only really seen highlights, KO's etc and they tend to be him jumping on prone guys, so nothing that really grabs me as being transferable to the boxing ring. Must be really hard to un-learn stuff that's drilled into you in terms of stance, hand positions etc but old age catches up with us all and McGregor seems a testosterone-fuelled wee monster. Mayweather could suddenly feel his age with that coming at him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellew is hardly a benchmark for Haye taking on someone who could soon be the number 1 HW in the world and Hearn won't care if Haye's still got it or not, it's a guaranteed moneyspinner regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either vastly overestimate Mayweathers martial art ability or severely underestimate what it takes to become a top level MMA fighter. I've absolutely no doubts that McGregor would kick (quite literally) the shit out of Floyd in the octagon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably would be in fairness. Not that there's much chance of it happening. I won't be paying for it either - good one to watch in the pub paying it about 10% attention. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 inch reach difference would be more than made up with Mayweather' class. You just have to look at the poorness of Aldo's defence(unbeaten in 10 years) to see that MMA is nowhere near the standard of boxers like Mayweather. A 28 year old Money v a 28 year old McGregor would be like a cat playing with a mouse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Can people stop pretending that Mayweather will fight McGregor. Bellew just on skysports saying that he won't be staying at heavyweight to fight AJ, I genuinely think he believes he has a say in the matter. Clips from next Sundays Gloves are off, look interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Granados is decent, put a halt on Amir Imam's career year or so ago when he was getting hyped up. Browne - Williams Jr should be a decent tear up, fancy a stoppage for Williams there and decisions for Broner and Peterson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleksandr Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Jermall Charlo drops his belt and moves upto 160, need to see him in with a decent opponent at that weight first but think he'll be a great addition to middleweight, could end up being a real test for Golovkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 He'll do well at 160. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Haven't seen much of either Charlo, glad one is moving up - I'll hopefully see more of him now and hopefully he does well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it'll be announced unfortunately Of the 4 boxers fighting tomorrow (Broner, Granados, Peterson, Avanesyan) 3 of them miss weight, Broner the only one who comes in under limit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
