Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather: Why are people ok with Conor's trash-talk? | THE HERD
• Conor McGregor vs. Flo...
The Herd with Colin Cowherd
/ colincowherd - Sport
Do you believe McGregor will win this fight?
The Herd with Colin Cowherd yes I believe he will win
i would love it if he did
Your really setting yourself up for a lot of abuse if Floyd loses
Do you believe LBJ could hit a HR in MLB?? #duh #obvious
The Herd with Colin Cowherd Conor is gonna rip you and everyone who says he won't win
he lost in the UFC ONCE!! get your facts straight.
fuddafirst who cares
fuddafirst he's still a loser.
How does that make him a loser? He has by far more wins than losses. Especially in UFC. It's real fighting, no one is undefeated forever.
ANTONIO chambers - If that's the case then can we count Floyd's losses in Amateur boxing tournaments or is that against your made up rules for determining what losses are?
Floyd lost before going pro too.....
I stopped watching when he said "He lost 3 times in UFC". And it was even stupider when Stephen A Smith said he lost to Nate Diaz in November 😂😂 This is why mainstream media covering MMA is embarrassing
Almost as embarrassing as MMA fans thinking this will be anything but a violent blowout. 0-0-0 Vs. 49-0-0...
Anthony Morado he has lost 3 times once in the UFC and 2 other times just in some pro mma league who is the idiot now?
congrats, you proved his point. headass.
Jeremy, clearly you know nothing of boxing. Go look at Mayweathers earlier fights. When he changed his name he changed his style. An the only reason he hadn't gone heavy in recent years is because he was always thinking about the next fight, well this is it. So he can go all out.
That said I doubt he will. He will point him out to be safe for sure, unless Conor looks like a bigger joke than the experts think. But look he gas'd to diaz in like 6 minutes in what was essentially a boxing match. He is going to gas by round 7 and be dead by the end of the match if he can manage to last that long. So yes it is going to be violent and ugly for Conor after Mayweather rains down 1-2000 punches on him, because Conor will be missing nearly every shot while Mayweather is popping him with all of his. He has done it time and time again to people who are better than conor in all areas.
Jeremy Stillwell let me put it this way.. I think federal agents should be seated ringside and there should be a clause in the contract that if Floyd willingly carries this fight longer than 5 rounds he will be arrested on the spot and indicted for felony assault. That's how violent this will be.
"Mock my woods." - #McGregorVoice
3 losses in UFC?........yeah you should just stop talking about combat sports
Jacob Sullivan yea he gave Conor way more credit than he actually deserves lol he lost 2 MMA fights out of the UFC to nobody's so he actually sucks more than if they where all in the UFC
josue angeles nate diaz is a nobody?
Conor actually moved up in weight class to fight Nate Diaz! and He fought Nate again an won Floyd would get killed if he moved up in weight
Nicky Mess M Floyd has moved up in weight 6 times.
I'm saying moved up in weight as in fighting at 170 Lb. Floyd would get destroyed at that size, Alot of ppl are writing Conor off but they're not realizing a whole alot factors here!
To be honest Colin, I'm personally fine with McGregor's trash talk, but not with yours! You are so confidently stating 'facts' here about Conor McGregor that are totally inaccurate, then you have the stupidity/audacity to post it! That should be the very definition of 'trash talk'!
I understand (that just like Conor and Floyd) that this is just your job and you need to say something to make your segment work give it some substance (the irony) but at least do some proper research before talking trash yourself lmao!
Dude really showing his age, out of touch with MMA knowledge
The only thing he said that was inaccurate was that he said he has 3 ufc loses sorry he diddnt say mma instead of UFC beyond that every thing he said is correct
Mf Doom no most of what he said was opinion and not facts
Mf Doom he stated Conor isn't even on top of MMA. 2 division Champ (even though stripped) Ya the guy really has no clue just repeating what he's 'heard'
mikehammond89 no he said he isn't truly dominating and he's right, he has never defended a belt and a lot of people would put nurmagomedov over him rn but beyond that he is mainly trying to get the point across that he's got no chance to beat Floyd in boxing so why do people love a guy trash talking a guy who is going to destroy him
McGregor is the champion of the lightweight division and was the champion of the featherweight division in the UFC. He's not just some random scrub like Cowherd is making him out to be.
he is also the dude that never defends his championships, greatness is defined by defenses not wins
ikr he is the goat
He's a random scrub in boxing
Cause in boxing he basically is, he is at most an amateur boxer. Remember this isn't a MMA fight this is a boxing fight, completely different.
The Moral Crusader Colin just said a year again Conor the greatest thing in the UFC saying he runs the UFC makes no sense now to back track
This is so stupid conor had dominated the UFC
Diaz choked him out, but he dominating. He cant even handle the lower tier guys
Matthew Garcia yeah him dominating midgets, beating Denis Siver and almost losing to Chad Mendes and actually losing to Nate Diaz on a weeks notice. Yeah Conor seems dominant.
Ernesto Diaz he's beaten everyone he said he would and you must not realize conor was 155 when he took the fight against Diaz than had to go up to 170 in a week where Diaz trains at that weight
McGregor faced a BJJ blackbelt, a wrestler Mendes, Jose Aldo with amazing skills, an awkward Nate Diaz and the lightweight champ, wrestler/boxing specialist, Eddie Alvarez.
To suggest he's had an easy ride to the top is just plainly stupid.
Teddy Graham thank you
This lesbian will eat her words
no she wont but she is an idiot
All these butthurt tiddy baby Conor fans
Ark Corps lolololol
Colin,You have no idea WTF your talking about
He saying that Conor is a nothing more than a loudmouth which is true. Larry Bird, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan proved themselves before they became arrogant. Conor has 3 loses which means he can be beat. He has never defended a belt while there are UFC fighters who have been champions for years without losing their belt. Conor has fought 2 champions in the UFC but he talks like he's the greatest of all time.
Floyd started talking trash when he left Bob Arum and fought De La Hoya in 2007 he was 37-0. Conor has been talking trash since the day he joined the UFC. And even after he lost to Nate Diaz. He is a loudmouth. There's a man with 12 more title wins than Conor with less loses than Conor who is also humble, his name is George St Pierre.
you have no idea what your talking about www.knowtheories.com/colin-gets-hair-cut
Cool Kid Nothing more than a loudmouth? You obviously know nothing about McGregor
Cool Kid Conor holds two belts in the UFc and KO'ed one of he greatest of all time in 13 seconds. Oh and by the way, everyone can get be beat. That's the thing with the UFC. no one will ever go 50 and 0. Because it is real fighting, Not point fighting. At the end of the day, we all know who is the better real fighter... Floyd would be lucky to last more than 30 seconds in a real fight against CM. Floyd needs the rules to stay alive...
I hate when FS1 and ESPN sports guys avoid mma 99% of the year and then, when a huge fight happens, they talk about it. Colin's lack of knowledge about the sport makes him sound so dumb and immediately discredits anything he will say about this event.
Peter Branche yet, everyone with knowledge of MMA is saying he doesn't stand a chance too. Including his own team.
Tom Wostoncroft I'm not saying Conor will win, but when talking about Conor's accomplishments, people need to show some respect. Saying Conor isn't dominant at his respective sport is just ignorant, which Colin is doing.
Conor is dominant in his sport but not at the level of Floyd in his. Floyd has been the singular dominant figure in boxing for over a decade. Conor is great at what he does but this is going to be a boxing match and he is facing one of the top 5 boxers in the history of the sport. Floyd will win. Conor will get his payday, and MMA will grow even larger.
How many title defenses does McGregor have?
+MsMrapplepie how many did Aldo had? And he got recked in 13 seconds. Titles defenses mean nothing.
He has 1 loss in the UFC not 3
Alex Clay in the UFC he has 1, in MMA he has 3, get your facts right
+Falkon 77 his facts were right
Jack Mehoff Oh I got you! He was a loser before UFC too! 👌🏽
falkon 77 he have1 loss in ufc from nate and the other 2 was not in ufc
Alex Clay yeap it's 1
He isn't dominating the sport? He held 2 belts and 2 different weight divisions at the same time
Whats up with all the comparisons? this is unique. We're okay with it because it's hilarious. Plus, MMA fans know "Mystic Mac" has a knack for predicting unthinkable things. These mainstream talking heads still don't know enough about MMA and MMA's athletes to criticise them properly. MMA is a completely different game from Boxing, so saying Conor's "already lost three times" doesn't compare with a Boxer's inflated record because Dana (usually) doesn't allow fighters to run from tough opponents. Not saying that Floyd's record has come by beating bums, but Boxers in general fight a large number of low caliber fighters with ideal style match ups to build an impressive record. An extreme example of this would be Mark Hunt's MMA record (13-11-1). His 3rd fight in MMA was against Wanderlei Silva, his 4th was against Mirko Cro Cop, his 7th, 8th and 9th was against Josh Barnett, Fedor Emelianenko (The HW GOAT), and Alistair Overeem. All of these guys except Overeem were in their prime.
you are ok with it because he is white, but if it was floyd you all will be hating on him
Wait a minute Colin have you not watch Conor fight?
Have you watched him box? If you knew anything about boxing you would know his stance doesn't lend itself to boxing, he hasn't got a jab finally he's fighting the greatest defensive boxer of all time.
Carroll Hudson no he hasnt obviously
Have you watched Conor box and Floyd box? Wake up
Carroll Hudson he couldn't have
Carroll Hudson Colin doesn't watch anything he's just blessed to be in that seat, it's cringy when he talks about UFC/mma; he's clueless doesn't even attempt to gather info
Confirmation that Colin doesn't have a clue about MMA. Not dominating because he has 3 losses (two of which weren't as a "UFC fighter"). Nothing like boxing where losses can completely change legacy. There's too many different styles, matchups etc. to expect any fighter, no matter how great, to go their career undefeated. Jon Jones would be the exception only for that DQ loss.
It's really quite surprising that he knows so little even though he's had Dana on countless times.
It just goes to show that he has no journalistic integrity when he has Dana on, because he has no interest in what Dana represents.
Darragh Nolan I agree and jon Jones hasn't lost besides the dq yet but he will the sport is evolving so fast
The sport is evolving but light heavyweight and heavyweight seem to be stuck in the stone ages. Shogun is still top 5.
ya lost two fights outside of ufc. not near top fighters. Nate is not a 170 fighter. he is 155. Conor never defended any belt. amauter boxer fighting a 49_0 boxer who defended over 20 times. in Conor's world wrestlers knocks out mma fighters all day. put in a world's best boxer. it's not close.
It's not the same in both sports at all. Most boxers who have a promising amateur career will be handled with care by their promoter. They get to cherry pick fights early on and they fight way more frequently early on to build their record. Once they reach the top contender status then they fight real fighters but by that time they will already be around 20-0. In MMA many great fighters lose early on and outside of the UFC. It's not a knock on them. You can't be expected to be well rounded early in your career so there will always be fighters who are more experienced than you in one aspect of fighting. Boxers don't have this problem because they can have an extensive amateur career. You never hear of MMA fighter's extensive amateur careers but you do in boxing with Olympic boxers and guys like Vasyl, GGG, Rigo, AJ, etc. Records and losses matter more to legacy in boxing.
wtf are you saying?
"just a loud mouth"
"not dominating the UFC"
you have no idea what you're talking about
*Who the fook is this guy?*
Floyd Mayweather would be 0-49 in the UFC
Cris Quin duhh that's not his profession
Steph curry would have 0 rings in the NFL.
Tom Brady wouldn't score a point in the NBA.
Messi would never win a tennis set
Serena would have never won a PGA tournament
He's lost ONCE in the UFC. Makes me insane when the Cowherds and Whitlocks of the world talk about MMA- a sport they know absolutely nothing about. There's a reason I don't have strong opinions on cricket. Stay in your lane and just fetishize Wall Street and divorce
Texas Vet who cares how many times he's lost, he's not undefeated like Mayweather.
And the guy he lost against has a IQ value of 57
Texas Vet stop playin u know what he meant! He has lost 3 !
If Conor wins, and backs up his talk, you sir will have to apologize.
Dudarov123 yea but that wont happen
Dudarov123 and not try and get ratings by inviting him on his show to do so.
Dudarov123 im sure hes going to listen to you
Mohan Azad good.
and WHEN no-honor connor loses. I'm gona troll you soo hard you delete your account/.
we gonna ignore the fact he said wimbleton instead of Wimbledon?
Rokas Zilionis yes we are
Colin is such a brainwashed fan. Conor's thing is trash talking and he, most of the time, backs it up. This is not anything new. He's been doing it for years. Sure, he's lost before but comparing someone who trash talks and loses in a MMA fight to an athlete like Floyd who is not in an environment like an MMA fighter is not even comparable. If all that Colin is saying is that McGregor is a trash talker, then he's right. To say that McGregor has no chance, Colin is dead wrong.
Omar Diaz it's a boxing match, Floyd is 49-0 against professional boxers . How does Connor stand a chance?
Of course he has a chance... a punchers chance at most! You truly believe he will beat Floyd Mayweather a boxing legend in 4-5-6 rounds? You have to be crazy.
agreed, mayweather is undefeated in his sport lol mcgregor has a better chance beating lebron in 21 than mayweather in a boxing match
That's ridiculous. Basketball is a completely different sport. Boxing is an element of MMA.
you're the brainwashed fan. Conor was dying after 3 rounds with nate diaz. gtfoh!
Because it's fooking entertaining, you americans take everything so personal! my god.
Sadly everytime someone talks trash the media turns it into race discussion or something similar.
Michael Stephens wtf r u talking about? and btw when is the last time USA actually won a war? u guys lost in Vietnam so i quess Vietnam is the answer to to your question
Michael Stephens strongest country in the world lmao. u got beat by Vienam. Your president is a reality tv star who knows nothing about politics and u have highest prison popularity in the world. yeah USA the land of the free 😂😂
So how is having the highest prison population in the world a bad thing like if anything we are actually doing something about crime so try and make a valid point next time. Like I don't know why this Michael guy is bringing up war when the guy was talking about politics and race but what you said makes no sense.
Michael Stephens I had no idea Lionel Messi or Christiano Ronaldo were American. Or that Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer were American. And I could say Russia is stronger than America, especially right now. America is a joke right now, every country is laughing at America and there are reports that America's election was hacked by Russia. Russia basically owns America if that was true (and it might be). And the only reason America won the second world war was because of a man called Albert Einstein. I didn't know Albert Einstein was American.
BTW I have to say that I admire America, but your argument is just so baseless and stupid.
I think after this fight, Floyd should not retire. He should set up title fights with: Pete Sampras, Steph Curry, Tom Brady, Bobby Fisher, and that female gymnast who won all the gold metals... In that order
haha how long did it take you to come up with that one
Joshua Stinson lmao..sad part is...mfers would think they would win
I sold Mayweather vs Pacquiao shirts in Norwalk,CA in a Phillipino neighborhood 95% of the people said they thought Pacquiao would win easy! People are just going with "their" guy ! No logic involved just EMOTIONS! I get it, PRIDE is a hella of thing ! If i was Irish i would be hoping my guy would win too ! But im Black, logical, and know how this ends! Both guys get PAID !
Lennox Blackman This fight won't be competitive, Floyd will try to make it seem like one though, just like the Juan Manuel Marquez fight, and JMM is one of my favorite fighters, people just let their emotions take over them and don't think critically.
luckylucciano20 Thats exactly what it is, Ricky Hatton was interviewed and asked what he thought Connor's chances were, and he was undefeated in Europe before crossing the "pond" to fight Floyd and eventually getting knocked out by Floyd, and he said:" I been boxing me whole life and I couldnt land a clean shot !" And this man said clearly that he likes Connor ! But he is under no delusion !
Pacquaio was past his prime with a messed up arm. In pacquiaos prime he destroys Flomo, the overrated wife beating black loser. Pacquiao has titles in 12 divisions something gayweather will never have
T1memaster i hope you 10 years old or under talking like that smh
I'm Irish and I believe Floyd will win.. I'm from the same area as Conor so of course I hope he wins... it would be historic.. but yeah, I doubt it.
It's not just Irish fans though... most of his fans are American at this stage , keep in mind Ireland only has 5 million people and I doubt more than 1 million of us watch UFC.
49-1
50-1, he beat his wife too.
I can't wait to see what these fools say after this 40 year old gets knock out.
Marcos Rodriguez hahahaha willing to bet your life saving on that ???.... I don't thinks so !!! Floyd not losing this fight on my mama !!!
Marcos Rodriguez give me a valid reason why you think that will happen
wilson decayette exactly . professional boxers can't even hit Floyd why people think Connor will
Marcos Rodriguez u serious?
but when floyd wins bet we wont find you anywhere eating your words now would we?
Dear Colin,
First, I agree with you about the lack of class amongst both fighters. Most fighters come from very poor backgrounds and hence do not have the most tasteful upbringings. But then again this is combat sports, not politics and trash talk comes with the territory.
Second of all, you make it sound like Conor is some deadbeat C-level fighter. He is a 2 weight World Champion and repeated the same incredible feat 'twice' in two different organizations - at the highest level!
Third, Conor has time and time again audaciously predicted the impossible and actually backed up his prediction with real-world action. Which if you think about it... is quite a staggering accomplishment in it alone! No one other than Muhammad Ali had the balls to actually make predictions on what he is going to do, staking his reputation in front of the whole world and follow through on his predictions! Conor has done it time and time again with striking accuracy which has dumbfounded the so-called experts/analysts and fans everywhere!
So yeah, common logic says this 'novice boxer' stands no chance against the greatest most elusive fighter of all time. But odds or logic don't apply to Conor Mcgregor. He is a Unicorn. And in some strange way... the stars seemed to have aligned for him.
Ive seen players ranked 100 beat Nadal/Federer/Djokovic/Murray a few times in the last 5 years, so his analogy is off, and why does he care about trash talk, its literally just to sell tckets, its theatre, I bet they shook hands out the back.
Its on purpose. Attracts attention. Its on purpose and not just a product of their upbringing
I bet you're white because that's the only reason you would even think to give Conor a chance. Hilarious to me can't wait to revisit this topic in a month.
This is like when Colin said "Iverson, you were a great defender" and Iverson just flatly disagrees to his face.
First dislike I've ever given Colin
McGregor started out as a boxer. I think people are underestimating how good he's going to be. I obviously don't think he's a favorite. But given that Floyd is 40 years old and Conor is in his prime, could he potentially rock him with a straight left and KO him? Absolutely. He has a puncher's chance.
jon dickerson your an idiot. Canello didn't even hurt floyd smh
jon dickerson Conor does have a single tiny advantage given that he switches his stance so much. He's not very textbook, and that could throw Floyd off. Still, Conor has a punchers chance and nothing more. In an octagon however, Floyd wouldn't have even that.
Stevie Antonio you're* not your so you're the idiot
Pacman, Marquez, De la Hoya, Gatti all had punchers chance. Him starting off as a boxer means little as a punchers chance.
Stevie Antonio Maybe check your grammar before calling someone an idiot.
FAKEEEEE NEEWWWSSSSSS
Finally someone says it, thank you Colin, the McGregor fanboys are ridiculous
kingsauels23 shut your fooking mouth
The difference is that McGregor would destroy Mayweather in a real fight. How many times has Mayweather fought someone who would beat him in a real fight? This might be the first.
Matthew Joynt omg what a logical comment...*sarcasm*
well stop changing the narrative Mayweather never said he would win a real or mma fight against Mcgregor all this is BECAUSE McGregor opened his mouth
this is boxing..
This is a boxing match right?
Mayweather did say he'd beat Conor in a MMA fight
Its just to sell the fight more duhhhhhh
Hearing Colin talk about combat sports is like hearing flat earthers explain physics.
the dumbest thing about comparing conor's losses with floyds flawless pro record is that Connor only had one amateur fight in mma which he won in the first round (if memory serves) then he went straight to professional fighting while he was much more fresh and had much more growing to do as a martial artist so he was bound to have losses early in his pro career (the Nate loss was fair and square). Floyd had fought so much at amateur (84-8) and then at pro that he has his style totally locked in.
Everybody also said Trump had no chance. Colin sounds ignorant here when talking about Conor.
rickey green u dnt know much abt boxing do u?
Floyd is the only true UNDISPUTED Champion that's fighting... To all the conor fans out there, just because conor knows how to box doesn't mean he ready to box a professional boxer!! Especially one who's undefeated for 20+ years!
Tarus Morgan but Colin is a moran he is saying Connor is a nobody 150 ranked player.its fine If you think he will win but Colin should stay in his lane
Why does the caption have a question that the video never poses?
Why does the channel post a completely different question as its pinned item?
Best and Most Intelligent TAKE on the Fight in all Sports Media so far. Bar none!
Playing the odds as usual Colin, gotta understand once in lifetime events occur, once in a generation, people may look back and say that was the guy like Muhammad Ali for this generation who did what no one else could.!!
lebron not dominating because he has 5 loses
no, hes not and your point is
But he is paid the most... Not dominating how?
um he isn't. when the moment is biggest he hides behind d wade ray allen and kyrie irving. he is nothing but media hype like mcgregor
Do you not have google?
then why is his net worth less? also guess you all don't know about the nike deal... LBJ makes more from nike than Curry makes in his whole contract... Either way, they both dominating the sport... to say otherwise would be foolish. Both will be billionaires when it's all said and done.
If that's the case, why were McGregor's comments trending everywhere for being defamatory and negative?
Thanks for your brilliant insights, Colin! Considering McGregor only has 1 UFC loss, not 3 (3 losses in pro career), I will be sure to keep listening to your great takes!
PREACH COLIN SPEAKING STRAIGHT FACTS
Since when did rumours become facts?
I honestly love both fighters and this event will be a great one, but we all know Conor has no chance at this
why does he always contradict himself?pretty sure he was one of the people who said conor dominated ufc and thought he had a chance against floyd
Analogys on point
I'm not saying that mcgregor will beat mayweather it's highly unlikely but I do believe that mcgregor thinks and believes that he will beat mayweather. And mcgregor isn't stupid either.
I hope you realize that connors best Skill in mma is his boxing. He is knocking people out with his straight left hand aka boxing. Thats why he has a chance.
This was so dumb. You kept on repeating that connors not allowed to trash talk because he hasnt fought in a boxing ring but the last time i checked trash talk doesnt have restrictions on who can do it
you're running out of material Colin. you say McGregor is not dominating. he's the first to hold two belts simultaneously. FOH
so many dislikes and so many dumb people defending McGregor in the comments. You obviously have no idea what Cowherd is saying, but he makes 100% sense in his comparisons, because McGregor is nothing more than an amateur when it comes to BOXING. McGregor is an amazing MMA fighter, but this isnt an MMA fight, it is gonna be a BOXING match, against an undefeated boxing champion. So regardless of how good McGregor is at MMA, it's irrelevant when he has to play according to BOXING rules.
I'm not angry, but the comparisons are absolutely not 100% accurate.
Conor is a good stand up fighter, and a knockout artists. He knocks people out with his hands.
I'm not saying he's got a good chance to win, but to say "This is like a basketball player going to the NFL!" Is a ridiculous and absolutely inaccurate statement.
A better comparison would be like "This is like a boxer going into muay thai!" or "This is like a wrestler going into jiu jitsu!"
Millie Kentner Connor does not know how to box though and that's the only way he'll get close enough to land that left. you cant honestly believe Connor will go steaming in and won't get countered.
The comparisons are horrible dude lol wth? He should've said it's like a rugby player trying to play American football. Not compare bottom tier team vs top tier in the same league and sport.
Aysar Aburrub You are totally right. But Colin has said some incredibly stupid things about MMA in general. I hope you don't miss the point with that.
He doesn't realize that getting submitted is different to being KO'd. When you're tangled up on the floor, once your joint gets locked in a certain spot, the only way to get out is for the other person to let go, or for them to snap it, and then let go.
It's obvious why! But nobody wants to say why everybody hopes oops sorry I mean wants Macgregor to win!
Colin stop embarrassing yourself
lol, I read these comments, wow. Colin is ABSOLUTELY right. Anyone who knows boxing even just a little bit knows Conor doesn't stand a chance. But all these people falling for the Underdog Story will be sorely disappointed. This fight will be boring and uneventful and Floyd will laugh all the way to the bank. The shame is all these American rooting for an Irishman that doesn't stand a chance against an enterprising American. Go Capitalism!!
People simply underestimate the level of skill it takes to be a great boxer. This is not a street fight. There are LEVELS to this.
everything he said was dead on accurate, stumbled upon a bunch of Mcgregor fans
Connor knocks out wrestlers with 0 boxing credentials just wait till he get in there with Floyd, you will understand real quick the levels to this game. Also, Connor got out boxed by Nate in both fights only reason he won the second fight was because of leg kicks.
only reason diaz survived is because he is a zombie and the possiblity of conor not being over anxious to end the fight since he knew there was a good chance it went 5....anybody else takes those shots and is floored 3 times is easily finished....did you know see the only time diaz has been finished? it was like a baseball bat to the head along with 50 more punches and he still wasnt out....49-1
CA Buddha did you see the 3 knock downs
CA Buddha MMA boxing is totally different then regular boxing. Nate out boxed him in mma boxing. Floyds going to beat Conor in this boxing match. But using Nate as an example doesn't make much sense.
So, Nate has no boxing credentials?
aldo was the best striker at 145
mcgregor fans are sooooooo mad over this upload haha!
im so mad lol Floyd is mad and not a dam thing he can do about it!
Because he doesn't know what he is talking about
at least we can watch this over again when conor wins
i just dont like biased. Mayweather used homophobic slurs against connor yet no one mentions anything
Anybody with a spine should be somewhat mad over this dishonest hit piece attempt.
Can't wait to see what he has to say on August 27th
In tennis, you can't win with a single ace!
In boxing, you can win with one punch!
whats colin gonna do if conor goes out and sleeps him in 4 rounds probably just talk about how its a fluke
drop a ger on it boy if youre so confident or shut your fooking mouth
Reading the comment section I have to give connor his credit, he has brainwashed people into believing that he's a better boxer than canelo, pac-man, dela hoya, and 46 other profesional boxers... SMH LOL well I actually know boxing that's why I won't waste my money watching him get his face beat in.
You'll still watch it though, like everyone
dennis pulliam : Don't forget to give Floyd credit as well. I read comments where people think Floyd would knock Conor out in an MMA fight. Floyd has a 98% chance of beating Conor in a boxing match. Conor has 99% chance of beating floyd in an MMA match. Their both doing a great job of fooling the world.
Why you always lying
Your an idiot. Saying Conor has a chance of beating Floyd in boxing but Floyd has no chance in MMA is a contradiction. Just because striking is apart of MMA doesn't mean Conor can't beat a 49-0 boxer. And just because boxing is a form of Martial Arts doesn't mean that Floyd can beat Conor in MMA. Neither of them have a chance in different sports.
You actually know Boxing? What's he like? How did you get to meet him?
Mcgregor is 18-0 in TKO, 1-3 in submission, i mean his game isnt on the ground, but shows why he can do well against a 40 yr old boxer
bet a paycheck on Conor then
Anyone remember 2007 App. State vs Michigan?
It's just fanfare to sell the fight, its obvious he has less of a percentage in the PPV split. Floyd is going to capitalize off of all of Conor's antics regardless. Not to mention dominate him in the ring.
Conor McGregor will *fold* like a lawn chair the first fight with Nate Diaz he couldn't outbox him in the third round he got choked out because he abandoned his boxing and Nate Diaz is a level D boxer and Floyd Mayweather is a level *A* boxer. And that little power punch he got you never get a chance to set it up Floyd change angles too much for that is it going to be like picking cherries for a man who used to fighting his whole career with his arms at his waist.
northmemphis48 facts
How about the rematch when Connor won and dropped Diaz at least 3 times when Diaz was at least 190 lbs? That ain't no "little power" you speak of. Floyd is 40 years old bro. His hands are brittle. He can't move as fast as he was able to in his prime. I get that Floyd was the best but he ain't no more buddy. He's been inactive and he's physically no where near top shape. Connor will catch Floyd in a counter punch and put him to sleep.
Daniel Solazzo not going to happen and don't get me wrong in ufc I'm a Connor McGregor fan but come on in boxing he's not beating one of the best defensive boxers of all time
northmemphis48 conor will be made a fool of. Im going to archive this and remind you after the fight happens.
Floyd has been hit before. It will happen again come this Aug 26. And its coming from a dangerous southpaw. Floyd isn't going to be defensive the whole fight. Floyd is going to reach in and Connor will counter as he usually does when he KO's his opponents. I have big respect for Floyd but dude, hes 40, a smaller man and has been inactive. I see Floyd being rattled before the 3rd round.
completely factual
Great work Colin. Usually have a different opinion but you nailed this one
Colin, he's lost once in the UFC, the other loses are from earlier in his career, back when he was younger. His most recent loss, aside from the first Diaz bout, was his fight against Duffy, that fight was 7 years ago...
Floyd in 7
Jerry Shmurda 👎
4 or 5
Floyd in 10
Yes, Floyd will be broke in 7 years.
..mcgregor is a loudmouth but he is not just a loudmouth, colin don't get it but mcgregor is the jordan of mma, he is the ali of mma, dude has won titles in 2 different weight divisions - which had never been done before in ufc, he needed 13 seconds to knock out jose aldo, who had lost once in 11 years, yeah he lost to diaz but he took that fight on 13 days notice and moved up 2 weight divisions and he won the rematch, conor mcgregor is a legend.
K3VYK3V1 with a nasty staff infection
You're crazy. The Jordan or Ali of MMA? C'mon dude. The Jordan of MMA is Anderson Silva. Conor will go down as a legend, and his accomplishments in the UFC in such a short amount of time are amazing. But he has to do much more than just winning two title fights to be even considered for GOAT status.
David Duarte ..so we agree that conor is a legend, its just the degree of that status you don't agree with, i can live with that.
K3VYK3V1 the Jordan of mma lol. Does he even have 30 ufc fights. But anyways what do you expect from a sport that started in 2005
Wtf Truu ..first ufc event was in '93 and conor has had 23 mma fights.
His whole point disproves his whole point.....anything can happen in sports, there is a chance that the lowly Wimbleton player could beat Federer on any given day, that type of stuff does happen, the thing with boxing is that the underdog could be losing the whole fight and get one good punch in to win
It's easier to go undefeated in boxing than in MMA ,I respect boxing but in MMA there are just a lot more things to deal with and those smaller gloves mean there is a small margin of error
Mcgregor fans need to go back to chugging monsters and watching wwe. They have no idea what they're talking about.
he will go stiff and wake up a better man
Preach
Yeah cause MMA is like wwe and boxing is real fighting... LMAO
bitchgvng Memorial service word
Floyd in 3
Saying Conor has lost three times in the UFC just goes to show how little Colin actually knows about Conor.
The problem with Colins analogy is that tennis players and basketball players dont get ppv money. They dont try to hype up fights
mcgregor's simply the newest Great White Hype. people have already started backing Gaithje as his replacement when the time comes. they dont even care that Gaithje's half mexican lol
you mad bro?
No one cares who's white or black. People want to see a good fight!
FYI Mexicans can be white, black, red, or yellow. Mexican is a nationality not a race.
Exactly he's just a loud mouth
how does a sports commentator like Colin not understand this? People love rooting the underdog, it just so happens that this Underdog has confidence that shoots through the atmosphere.
He's not dominating as a UFC fighter? He was the champ of two divisions simultaneously... and fought in a 3rd higher. And these arnt 5 pound boxing weight classes, these are 10 and 15 pound spreads. What do you want him to do?
What do you want them to do? Complement each other?
floyd:
-Has been boxing since 8 years old
- Has 2 uncles and a dad who were both good pro fighters and have been teaching him
- Is considered by many to be one of the best defensive fighters EVER
-Is undefeated
Who do you think will win this boxing match?
Here is something to consider. Mayweather is such a huge favorite and considering he is all about the money and this fight is just an exhibition and it is his last fight he may take a dive and probably pocket over a billion dollars.
As a fan I wanted this fight and now it's here. Some of yall get so worked up about it. lol I'm just grabbing my popcorn and preparing for a show.
Football and fighting anything can happen. Just keep in mind you can be the lowest of the low and pull a upset. That's why we love football and one point loved boxing.
Why can't the hosts of sport shows bring someone who knows mma
There is nothing that Colin is saying that is wrong. all the mma fans dont get it . this is a BOXING match. Connor hast had one pro boxing match ever and he thinks he is gonna step into the ring with one of the top 50 boxers of all time and win!?
lets be clear Connor wins a mma fight against Floyd inside of 30 seconds!!!! but look at the world class boxer Floyd has made look dumb, he has fought HOF guys and they didnt win one round. i just cant see it going Connors way. the build up and the press conference are going too be the best part of the fight.
Floyd wins by unanimous decision
sticking and moving all 12 rounds
Connor goes into survival mode after the first four rounds and just wants to finish the fight on his feet.. like dozens of other guys before him.
it's not federor vs 150th ranked. it's like federor vs someone unranked. But it's a fight, there's always a puncher's chance. and that confidence conor has, that shouldn't be underestimated.
Colin is the smartest guy in sports talk radio
How many times has the underdog scored the first touchdown? Only takes that one sweet hit to win in boxing. People love Conor because he's outside his box fighting instead of settling for being told he can't do something. It's money and odds to everyone except for Conor. It's nothing to lose for him. He has everything to win. I love that.
This would be some guy talking trash about a sports headliner he has no idea about
Trash talking to a 100mil plus pay check.
I didn't think Colin would be so harsh towards McGregor. "Loudmouth"? Really, Colin? Just watch Conor outside of the press conferences and watch him during his fights. He talks the talk but he backs it up by walking the walk. The man brings so much passion to what he does and he's an absolute beast in the octagon. I have McGregor taking this one home, honestly.
I do doubt that McGregor will win but in Ali's first professional fight against Liston he was a 7-1 underdog yet he talked trash before the fight. Sometimes you just have to wait and see.
When you trash talk someone with no chance to beat you you're a bully. When you trash talk someone against whom you have no chance, you're the hero.
Mcgregor vs Mayweather is like bringing the All Blacks to play vs New England Patriots. Both are dominants in their own thing, but they wouldn't have a chance. David Haye nailed it comparing Mcgregor's odds with those of a boxer getting a whole in one in a golf tournament. It's true, it might happen, Mcgregor might connect a lucky punch and knock Mayweather out, but... Seems unlikely
confirmed, Colon Cowherd has never seen an MMA fight, let alone a Conor McGregor fight.
Two losses via submission prior to his UFC career. One UFC loss to Nate Diaz via submission. The man is 22 - 3 because of submissions, he's never been KO'd and he is dominant. This is a punching exhibition, Conor's specialty. McGregor has a better chance than a lot of people are led to believe. Cowherd - get your facts straight.
