Comments Thread For: Aldo Says McGregor Getting Too Much Credit For Boxing Debut

[iamboxing]

Aldo and other fighters need to get a PR consultant. Comments like these serve no purpose other than alienating potential fans and making you look sour af.

Is it that hard to understand the difference between Brooks chances vs GGG and Conors vs Floyd? Tell me you have more brains than that.

Brook had as much chance of winning as McGregor. Maybe if you used your brains you would admit that. You're still a goat following the herd I see.

He out landed Floyd in his pro debut with 2 amateur fights for fks sake! Mystery solved. Move on with your life already.

"Outlanded" You serious?

He landed like 1 or 2 clean flush punches and got his ass whooped for by a 40 year old retired brittle handed midget.

Whether he respected Conor or not doesn't change the fact that he was getting hit more consistently than he had been in 15 years by an 0-0 mma fighter making his pro debut. Floyd wasn't going to win on the outside and it was very clear after round 1. To win he had to come forward and fight on the inside.

Exatcly. Floyd tried to play the outside game and got whooped and had to resort toa different tactic going through the middle rounds. Its not like floyd let him. Floyd couldnt. That's credit to Conor's boxing skills.

Aldo prob still salty as f $$k BUT he's right. If people didn't kniw floyd was carrying conner for plenty rounds before gittin him out of there then you dont know **** about boxing. Aldo is right if conner jumped in there with any active champ HIS SIZE conner wouldnt last a couple rounds. Punching with his head straight up in the air looking like the fighting irish logo, keeping his jab arm extended then pawing with the jab, HORRIBLE stamina all this is a recipe for a highlight reel ko.

Conor has had a lot of success in recent years, and he's probably improved by leaps and bounds since he began, but I disagree when I hear some of his fans boast that Conor is the best ever. MMA has such a short history compared to boxing, and the fans are desperate to find their own Ray Robinsons and Muhammad Alis to worship. They're quick to proclaim that a flash-in-the-pan might be the greatest of all time.

Wrong again. He'll definitely go down as one of those types when discussed in 40 years. He's responsible for taking MMA to the next level and incorporating the casual fan. Mcgregor is a household name, much like Floyd it's completely his own doing. Conner and Anderson silva are the two best ever...FACT, Jones was on that list but he roids have taken him off.

He's only 29 lol A flash in the pan? The guy is just getting started, and just fought Floyd mayweather as the best publicity stunt and money grab of all time.

Just because someone points out race favoritism doesn't mean they're playing a 'race card'.

True, I'll give you that. My comment was directed more, to the guy I mentioned in my post.

PAC is phillipino. G is Siberian. Personally, PAC is ATG for me between 7-9. G is pound for pound to me somewhere between 5-10. I'm a fan and supportive of both. Although I like Canelo slightly more.

Just because someone points out race favoritism doesn't mean they're playing a 'race card'.

Yea? How about putting some black fighters up there? And what has GGG 'whined' about exactly? Yea sh@tty post. Lol @ claiming that Floyd wasn't on his bike again Pacquio the entire fight.

Floyd was the one turning his back and is a master when he ran from Manny Pacquiao huh?

I didn't play the race card. You have excuses for Connor and you have excuses for Pacquiao. They are both on my poll.

Just because your a fan of someone doesn't mean you have to reason away their every shortcoming. I like PAC but no excuses. I think Connor was a good sport but no excuses.

I think Floyd looked rediculous turning his back to McGreggor. I can aknowledge that also. Making fun of things and having no respect are two different things.

If floyd got KOd in either fight--No excuses would be good enough. There should not be a double standard but there is. I didn't play the race card. You did. do you see how your mind works?

Who is the biggest cry baby in recent history

Sergei "born again" Kovalev

Manny " I thought I won the fight" Pacquiao

Connor "3 rounds" McGreggor

Gennady "I'm a small middleweight" Golovkin

Conor did great. No one gave him any chance before the fight and he caught FLoyd with some good shots and made Floyd turn his back on numerous occasions. He was never going to win. Really it was a win for McGregor. Floyd should have taken him out in a couple of rounds. As for Aldo. Didn't he get knocked out by McGregor in 10 seconds?

You've bought into his hype. Maybe in 40 years from now we will discuss Conor as an ATG of MMA, but you're jumping the gun calling him that today. Admittedly, I have not watched all of Conor's fights, but I've seen all his loses, and in my opinion he is overrated. Like "The Rock", Conor has become more popular than the 'sport' that made him, but that does not make him the best.

You started of on the wrong foot, the average person that watched was very happy, circus fights as big a this are never about the hard core they are for the casual, and the casual enjoyed it so its win win for both sports, no need to stand on high moral ground it was a spectacle that could have been real bad in a number of ways, but they pulled it off and the casuals were happy.

I know it was not near the best Mayweather but he did what he said he would do and that was be the boss over what the casuals perceived as the baddest man on the planet.

I started off on the right foot. And Right Foot 101 says when you go into an athletic competition where they keep score and more importantly, charge admission, give a genuine effort. And Floyd didn't do that. I don't care how entertaining it was to the guy that doesn't know the difference between a jab and a hook. Floyd gave a half ass effort.

Boxing is the only sport in the world where people can be pleased with a participant coming out and not trying. I'm from the South, which is college football country. And early in the season, you see a lot of teams facing cupcakes. Alabama started out with a tough one last night, so it's not the best example. But when Bama pays some dip**** Division II school a million bucks to come to Tuscaloosa so they can kick the **** outta them. How well would it be received if Nick Saban decided to play 8 against 11 the first three quarters to carry Nutsack U for most of the game? And then roll his starters out there at the beginning of the fourth quarter and go ahead and put the game away? I doubt it would viewed favorably. Because that's about the equivalent of what Floyd did last Sat night.
