    The guy is a seasoned vet who knew his sport since he was a child. It's called muscle memory and knowledge over a chosen sport as a mastery. Dude what's wrong with you?

    Give props to the man he did more than was expected of him. A white belter did that to Floyd. You just have to live with that fact.
    What exactly is it that he did to Floyd? Landed a handful of clean punches and won 3 rounds when Floyd threw like 10 punches per round?

    Half of the "punches" McGregor landed we're pawing shots that make Malignaggi look like Tyson

      lol

      first 4 rounds was all McGregor.

      Floyd's head was like a bubble head snapping back over and over and you can't see who was landing cleanly early? Not to mention those clean body shots landing all night Conor was depositing.

      Yes, some punches weren't that strong, but those were clean effective punches as clear as day, as Conor's punches broke through Floyd's high guard and snapped Floyd's head back over and over.

      Punch connects and doing the early damage was Conor. Floyd came in agressive, but he paid for it, Conor connected over and over and defintely a strong argument can be made he got the first 4 rounds easily.

      Floyd fans like you would say, Floyd did that on purposw to carry Conor. lol Naah he didn't Conor did that to Floyd coz Conor's stiff jab and long rangy arms put Floyd at bay, as Conor dissected him early.

      Like I said the reason Conor lost was lack of conditioning, he was a gas guzzling Lamborghini who ran out of fuel early. Can't blame him for that, after all, he was a novice who held his own against a seasoned vet.

        Wait a second...you said Floyd "came in aggressive?" The same Floyd that threw 6 punches in round 1? I think we have different definitions of aggressive lol...

        You're also putting words in my mouth...the only thing Floyd did on purpose was allow McGregor to throw punches for 3 rounds because he didn't have the power to.hurt Floyd, and then walk him down while Conor pawed at him like a kitty cat from round 4 on...

        Conor did ZERO "damage" to Floyd...he landed some clean shots early, but there was nothing on them...Floyd just came forward knowing he couldn't get hurt and McGregor kept backing up, and backing up until finally he didn't have the energy to back up anymore and he got rocked repeatedly...

        None of those early shots (even the uppercut) had any effect on Floyd like the 2 bombs Sugar Shane hit him with early on...

        Conor didn't break Floyd's high guard...Conor HIMSELF said he had no answer for Floyd's high guard...he didn't expect it, and had no idea what to do when Floyd made the switch...

        You're such a Floyd hater you're making **** up that contradicts even what McGregor himself said

          Seems like Floyd is getting too much credit. The only credit that should be given is the fact Conor made a good account for himself stepping in the ring against boxing best. Give the guy some props, Hyped he train like no other.

            Conor made a good account of himself. Partly because he came to fight and was willing to risk getting hurt badly and Mayweather let Conor show what he had before he moved in for the kill, and Conor showed talent.

              That's an honest assessment.

              That said, I have to be real, With all the **** boxing purists and fans were talking. A man steps into floyd's world, out of his comfort zone and loses only cuz he got fatigued. there is really nothing to brag about . He simply beat himself..Floyd wasn't doing **** while Conor was fresh. Will we be looking at a different result if conor had good conditioning​ & didn't gas.??? Probably.

                He only did what he was allowed to do, run from a old frail 40yr old.

                Go look at what he said he was going to do and look at what he did do, how do you give props to a liar that didn't do sht.

                  Even If Floyd did allow Mcgregor to throw punches that did zero "damage" for the first 4 rounds, the fact remains that Mcgregor was the busier fighter and was the only one fighting at that point. Mcgregor deserved those rounds and the official scorecards were once again, a joke. Steve Farhood had the correct score of 86-85 Mayweather, IMO.

                    Same result either way...I guarantee it..McGregor said himself he has no answer for when Floyd changed to a high guard and as Conor said "put his forehead in my chest"

                    Nothing McGregor threw early hurt Floyd...whether Conor is fresh, or gassed, Floyd makes that same adjustment and walks him down either way...

                    of course he deserved the first 3 rounds Mayweather barely threw a punch...yes, the judges we're off in my opinion as well...I could try to defend a judge that had it 2-1 McGregor, but it really should have been 3-0...

                    Of course, it's water under the bridge because Mayweather made sure the scorecards didn't matter

                      Huh? Floyd came in forward early. It doesn't mean just because Floyd was punching less isn't aggressive. Floyd was moving forward, thus aggressive.

                      Floyd got his ass whooped in the early rounds. Conor played Floyd in those early rounds. Floyd wasn't carrying Conor. He couldn't land at all. I saw a frustrated Floyd in the early rounds. Floyd was trapped in a quick sand he couldn't get out.

                      Even the announcers where commenting on no foot work from mayweather, turning his back, unusual fight stance. Floyd was lost in that ring.
