Comments Thread For: Mayweather Admits He Barely Trained For McGregor Fight

[F l i c k e r]

I don't think any professional boxer at the level of Floyd, Canelo, Pacquiao etc. etc. would have to train "hard" for McGregor.

Not in the boxing ring. It's basically a comfortable spar for those guys against an opponent that has mid-level, amateur boxing skill.

and I like McGregor but his boxing level is vastly inferior to real professionals. McGregor would probably get beat by Algieri and Jeff Horn as well.

Floyd didn’t train and was carrying McGregor to put on a show for the fans. That’s why he was in so many action packed fights of the year. Because the last thing he wants to be regarded as is a boring fighter. Does any of this feel true? If it does then you’re a fool.

Floyd won by KO. Yes it did go on his professional record as a win. He made the fight because it paid him well over $150 million.

So was tbe carrying a scrub for entertainment, or was Conor outboxing him until he gassed. You ducked that question for over a year now

I don't have an opinion either way. Boxing is an outcome driven sport. Floyd won. Him not winning by KO in an earlier round isn't relevant.

Well if that's the case, the ultimate outcome is his record went to 50-0. I say that is a helluva no risk high reward fight if there ever was one.

OK. This was a unique opportunity afforded Floyd because he was the undisputed and consensus best of the generation, a 1st ballot HOF'er, a star that transcends his sport and the only professional boxer that won the 3 highest grossing, highest selling fights in the history of the sport.

Last time Floyd got his ass whooped was Zab Judah after that fight he started cherry picking more

Floyd beat Zab Judah easily and beat him up.

They all say that when they look terrible. Apparently DLH was drained before Pac fight so DLH dont look too bad historically. He may have not been at best but it was more to do with how good Pac was.

Oscar was drained for the Pac fight

DJtmal was talking about the Conor fight, not the fight with Tenshin. Please learn how to read and comprehend English. Your inability to do so on an English language forum is truly annoying.

is it because of this --

Mayweather work ethic is SECOND TO NONE so I serious doubt he would ever take Cotto "Lightly" regardless if most people think he will win anyway

True. Would be nice if he marketed that aspect of himself more.

Oh we agree 100%. Lets just remember 1 thing. Floyd, however you judge him, is a true professional. By being in shape he has half the battle won. He can spend more time sparring and gameplanning then losing weight.
