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

Duhhh I love Connor but he's never KOd anyone. They always get back up which tells me he doesn't have one punch concussive power. I would surmise that Cotto hits harder than he does

Amir Imam is the hardest puncher he's ever sparred? Wow that's really surprising.

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.

Not even close to hitting as hard as Berto or Ortiz.

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.

Maybe Conor was sparring Paulie using a style he won't use in the fight and without putting much behind his shots knowing Paulie is a mole and will be giving the wrong feedback to Floyd.

In all seriousness though, I'm pretty sure Conor knows that Paulie knows Floyd and are affiliated via showtime these days anyway, so i'm sure he's aware of the possibility of Paulie telling Floyd what's happening. If he was a mole, they've made it pretty obvious.

I basically just think it's all business. Paulie has been sent there as a showtime employee with everyones consent so he can then hype up the fight saying that Conor isn't bad etc. etc. It's all part of the promotion and they're all in on it. They want to sell it as competitive. Why else would a retired boxer and now commentator working for the very network showing the fight suddenly end up in camp as a sparring partner lol. People are gullible.

Miguel Cotto?

Of course he hits harder than Conor. A LOT harder.

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.

He did rock Oscar and Cotto momentarily.

Would Conor?

Paulie better watch what he says if he still wants to keep his job. That's the only selling point for this fight, if he doesn't have power might as well flip the channel.

[WesternChamp]

anyone who thinks mcgregor has crazy power is just dumb. look at the guys he's ko'd, those guys are midgets!! aldo is like what 5'3? lol.

[hugh grant]

Connor better be wary of Paulie as a mole.
Pauloie was always defending floyd
