That's how an older out of shape but very experienced guy spars with a novice who's trying to push the fight. He puts his hands up to protect himself and lets the young inexperienced guy blow his load and then makes him pay. Speaking of which...I'm so glad I didn't pay for this.
It was an amazing performance. Floyd didn't take one step backwards and punished McGregor and knocked him out like I knew he would. Props to Conor for hanging in there as long as he did but at the end of the day there's a huge difference between the best UFC fighter and The Best Ever. Even at 40 Floyd was almost impossible to hit and showed why he's the best. He knew when to wait, when to attack, when to go for the kill, everything. I put a lot of money on him by stoppage and it was never in doubt at all. It was "for sure" money! I knew it.
Definitely the best ever in my opinion. There's never been a more complete and/or smarter boxer. There's been guys with more fights and more entertaining fights, but if we're just talking skills there's nobody in any era of boxing that was or is as good as this guy. After beating Pacquiao he had basically sealed his career, but it was great to see him come back and completely embarrass the biggest star the UFC has to offer. Which showed everyone why boxing is so much better than MMA.
What else is there to say? Salute to Floyd "Money" Mayweather on a legendary career! The smartest, richest, most skilled, most dominant boxer of all time.
Versatility is the reason Floyd is one of the 10 greatest fighters to ever exist. He literally fought like Chavez Sr. Lol. Like the man can box with the best and be a come forward pressure fighter if need be. That's wild.
Father time has made Floyd flat footed. Floyd has always been able to stand his ground and dish it out and didn't need to before unlike other fighters that don't have a choice and fight one way.
Floyd moving forward was to his advantage. Show me where after round 3 conor was able to control the center of the ring or sit down on any shots. As soon as floyd started pushing conor back...it was all arm punches. He took forever to reset...when he's not controlling the range, he's lost.

Let's not act like pushing a 0-0 fighter backward is some testament to floyd's versatility.
