    "Tough" is a RELATIVE Term...

    Taking an Ass Whipping Illustrates a DEGREE of Toughness, but just Because a Guy Has the Wherewithal to AVOID an Ass Whipping, Doesn't Automatically Mean he LACKS Toughness...

    Put it This Way, When Nate Diaz HAD to Show Toughness, he Obviously Did...But the Same Can Be Said of Floyd...The Few Times he's HAD to Dig a Bit, Recover from Being Hurt, ADJUST on the Fly, Whatever the Case May Be, he HAS...

    That's Toughness...

    I feel the same way about the fight but the hype is too much for me not to get this.

    The undercard also sucks.

    He's taken maybe less than 10 solid shots to the head in the last 10 years.
    That's not toughness.


    And even if you think it is, the last time 'toughness' was displayed was 3-4 years ago?

    Apparently...

    REED will Applaud DEMONSTRATED "Toughness" as Much as the Next Guy...But REED WON'T Minimize Another Fighter in the Regard Just Because he HASN'T Had to Demonstrate his "Toughness" as Much...

    1 Has NATHAN To Do w/the Other...

    i just watched it again from the link Hanz posted and he was dead tired and turned his back numerous times in the last round. He didn't have the stamina to last in the middle of the ring. The crowd started booing him and Diaz flips him off when he started running.

    He turned his back in order to move to the center of the ring and begin slugging again.

    Floyd shows his toughness when he beats defenseless women and security guards.

    No he didn't. A couple of the times when he did it Diaz was in the center of the ring already. It wasn't ring generalship it was fatigue.

    He was with Conor's back towards the fence. Pointless discussion with you about Conor. Conor won the fight against a 190 pound 6 foot guy who is considered one of the best strikers in MMA. It really has no connection with this fight Against floyd.

    Pointless why? Because you can't handle anything critical about McGregor?

    He gassed in both Diaz fights after less than two rounds. If you are saying it's because of the extra weight that was on him, he said he plans on being 170 on fight night for the Floyd fight as well.

    It's obvious that Conor gassed in both Diaz fights. He better hope that the same doesn't happen next week.

    Well maybe not totally shit but if he gasses-out rather than being knocked-out it reflects badly on him imo...

    Keeping it 100, REED Isn't Expecting McGregor to Gas Toooooo Terribly Early...Not Before Round 3-4 or So, @ the Earliest...

    Each MMA Round is 2 Minutes Looooooooooooonger than a Boxing Round, w/the Same 60 Second Respite...

    w/More Body Parts to Be Wary Of, No 8-Counts of a Downed Fighter and Looooooooooonger Rounds, REED Would EXPECT a Mixed Martial Artist to Endure MORE Boxing Rounds than MMA Rounds, in Terms of Sheer CARDIO...

    ASSuming Floyd was 100% Defensive, and Conor Shot his Load, as he Did in the 1st Round of the 1st Diaz Fight, McGregor WOULDN'T Necessarily Be as Fatigued by Round 2 of a Boxing Match...2 Full MMA Rounds is Damn Near 3 Boxing Rounds...

    That Being Said, if/when the Boxing Match Gets to Round 9, Conor's Fucked...Mathematically and Otherwise...

    Yeah, REED Had this Debate w/Anthony a WEEK Ago...

    The FACT Is, UFC's 2017 PPV Numbers HAVEN'T Been Good Overall...The Article is Written on the Premise of a Growing Trend, Which HASN'T Proven to Be Applicable to 2017...

    Which Means There ISN'T a Trend...

    Trends can go in different directions....but I guess to follow a trend you must not only be aware of what is currently happening but be astute enough to predict what is going to happen in the future...

    As EDUCATED as it May Seem, Predicting Trends Boils Down to GUESSWORK...

    2-3 Years Ago, NOfuckingWAY Did UFC Prognosticators Foresee Ronda Rousey Effectively Being FINISHED as a Fighter, Jon Jones JUST Reentering UFC and Regaining His Title OR the Biggest Star in the History of their Company Engaging in a BOXING Match...

    w/Trends You Never Truly Know til You KNOW...

    I think body shots are going to be the real story here. Conor doesn't think floyd can hurt him to the chin, and maybe he is right. But floyd can damn sure hurt him to the body.

    The one thing that this article fails to mention is that if you take out McGregor, Rousey, and Jon Jones...UFC's PPV buyrate on average is atrocious.
    The majority of fighters on the UFC roster...about 97% of them can't draw flies.
    And furthermore, Chris Weidman vs Kevin Gastelum on Fox scored the third lowest rating in the 6 year history of UFC's run with Fox Sports. As much as MMA purists don't want to believe it, MMA much like boxing is a niche sport. Most people have never heard of nor care about most UFC fighters outside of Rousey, McGregor, Brock Lesnar, and maybe Jon Jones.

    If Paulie Malignaggi isn't entirely bullsh*tting, then maybe the thing about Mac whimpering when taking a few shots to the body was true.
