Well it seemed likely before but all the more obvious now that Zuffa Boxing's debut event will be a Conor boxing match. This comparison to boxers instead of MMA guys just shows it a lil more.

Strictly fame wise maybe he's at like 25% of some of those names... Hell this article shouldn't exist, let alone be posted on here. But yeah great win vs mismatched opponent who's been knocked out like what 7 times? Tap out shirt high five washed down with some awful blended Irish whiskey. Cheers clown!

Wtf! No.. No.. An ***ing no! Conor is a journeyman at best in the world of Boxing! That's why I was mad that he got to skip the line and fight floyd.. Conor is 0-1. I'm not going to trip on that cause bhop started 0-1.. But conor aint no bhop neither! I'm betting that Anne wolf, Laila Ali and Claressa Shields would all stop him right now!

Lol...McGregor just fought Cowboy right? Dana is talking like he just KO’d Khabib in round one. That old man from the bar may have put up a better fight.

Hahaha how much does this guy wish he was in boxing?

Stop it 🛑

Your comparing Conor to Ali and other greats based of ppv? Don t forget who the ppv king is. Money may

If we are talking pure star power wise hes probably on SRLs level or above, not Ali or Tyson though.

But in terms of actual ability and achievement within his sport? nope. Just bear in mind all this hype is coming from Conor beating a guy who was 4-7 in the last 3 years and was coming off of a 1st round KO loss.
