    They should make you pay for the press conferences. Seems like more are interested in that than the fight itself.

    Like i said before. Any sparring footage released, you can bet your money Conor knew or even facilitated it.

    Are you implying that Conor faked slow handspeed in sparring to give Floyd a false sense of security?

    I wont imply that. But i will say is that mcgreggor's hand speed is anything but slow. Also, it's sparring. You really cant judge anything on an old sparring video.

    Compared with a boxer the guy is as slow as molasses...and that's with 4oz gloves on.

    When the hell has Floyd faced even close to the level of trash talk that he is going to encounter vs. Conor? Never.
    Floyds ego is as fragile as an egg. No doubt that Conor is going to get inside of that pee brain of Floyds.

    Mayweather is too old to be fazed by that IMO. But we will see. Although if i had to compare the level of Trash Talk May will receive it would be that of R.A. The Rugged man vs. Mayweather.

    Outside of the ring Floyd gets riled up by comments but so far we haven't seen this affect his performance inside the ring.

    I'm not saying that it will necessarily affect his performance. I just think that he will really be bothered by Conors trash talking

    When the best "tactic" Conor has is trash talk sums up how little his chances are and how desperate his fans are.

    Well I mean he's 0-0 going up against 49-0. HOWEVER. Luckily it's not a space ship building contest with some hoodlum going up against a NASA nerd it's a punching in the face contest so yes he definitely has a shot.

    lol. Yeah, but if it has nothing to do with the fight itself then what is the relevance?

    Who knows maybe he will try to prove something and go toe to toe but doubtful too smart for that but then again when you bring emotion into anything the smartest can become the dumbest.

    Great, have them meet at the comedy club and trade insults.

    Has nothing to do with a fight.

    I like Mcgregor a lot. He is the only MMA fighter I would pay to see and he is the most entertaining guy in combat sports right now. I also hate that he is so good at hyping a fight that I'll end up buying this.

    Broner said it best when he said this will be the first bank robbery shown on live TV. Floyd could win this fight with 1 arm tied behind his back.

    Its not 0-0 vs 49-0, its vs the best boxer of this era and arguably one of tbe.

    I would maintain Condors ONLY chance is if Floyd manages to break BOTH hands very early in the fight..

    Floyd would probably get his ass kicked if he fought world class guys at this point. His particular record and accomplishments aren't really relevant. It's a prime cage fighter vs a faded great boxer.

    I dunno about that. I'd certainly pick even this version of Floyd over Thurman and Garcia, just to name two. I see Floyd as similar to Bernard Hopkins in that he didn't take much punishment in his prime plus didn't rely as much on athleticism as most guys but mainly on intelligence and adaptability and as such has unusual longevity potential.

    You'll refuse to believe it and that's why Floyd is still marketable. He looked vulnerable in his last 4 or 5 fights, retired and only came back to make a billion bucks against a cage fighter. Thurman and Spence would wipe their ass with Roidy Floyd at this point.

    Which is still the best interview with Floyd ever.
    If you ever needed to see how mentally weak he is - that showed it.

    The relevance is that it would be fun to watch your hero reduces to tears.
