Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: McGregor an Above Average Puncher, Very Accurate

[vaborikua2014]

To think that he was going to climb into a boxing ring, wearing boxing gloves for the first time in a sanctioned professional boxing match, and have more pure boxing punching power than a Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana, Miguel Cotto, Manny Pacquiao, etc...no chance.

Hell Victor Ortiz and Andre Berto have a 48 combined KO's between them with boxing gloves on. Does anybody in here really think that McGregor would have more pure punching power in a boxing ring than those guys? F**k no.

So its safe to say conor kos floyd in 1?

I thoughtnbhe hit harder than jon bone Jones?
So Jon Jones has below average power?
I suppose it was only on fun fair piunch machine not too accurate

Power with mma gloves and boxing gloves are 2 differents things.

You "snap" with mma gloves and you "swing"with boxing gloves.


He obviously has power since he destroys most of his opponents face with few punches in the UFC, UFC fighters are though, they can take a punch, most of them are champions coming from kick boxing or Jiu Jitsu, not some average Joe from the street.

He could drop Nate Diaz, a man who did well in sparring with Fonfara and co in Virgil's gym.

Connor need to learn to use his own power with boxing gloves in a boxing match, 3 months not being enough at all.

Lex Steele hit Paulie with the hardest 'shot to the face.

But he will have more power than B Suth.

okay I disagree but I do value and respect your opinion that said I am still red k'ing that ass

[Dr Shaw High]

Even some of the best kickboxers have tried boxing at a modest level and got KTFO. Ray Sefo for example.

With 10oz gloves that power will be subdued greatly. So is Floyd's power for that matter. Floyd at 154 is 3-0 but all decisions and no knock downs.

I think McGregor has solid power w/great timing & accuracy.

[GhostofDempsey]

Paulie is a mole, feeding Floyd every morsel of information he can on Conor. What's worse is that Floyd already had all the advantages, but he needed to plant an insider to get that last bit of edge. Can't wait until the day after the fight when all the fans who spent $100 to see this are crying they want their money back.

I think Paulie is correct. I always thought he was a sharp puncher who could easily KO chinny MMA guys with 4 ounce gloves. I never thought his punches were as fast or as hard as the punches of Pacquiao, Mosley, Ortiz, Berto,Canelo or Cotto. If those champion boxers all failed to knock Mayweather down how is a cage fighter who doesn't hit as hard as they do KO Mayweather? Conor's main KO punch is a long straight left. With only one punch to worry about I am sure Mayweather will avoid getting hit flush with that punch. Even if Conor lands his best punch on the button will it be as hard as the bombs Mosley hit Floyd with? I don't think so.
