My point was that I was expecting Mayweather to win in a couple rounds, at worst 3. the fact that it took 10 rounds surprised the hell out of me.

I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.
it doesn't take a boxing purist circlejerk to conclude that the best pro boxers will always be better boxers than the best non-pro boxers.

Yeah, kinda odd. McGregor almost comes off looking better given he isn't a pro boxer.

nah, he came off as tired, beaten, and quite wobbly...and you're coming off as desperate.

I didn't see the fight so I can't say this for sure, but that may have actually been intentional on his part. Boxers train for longer fights than MMA guys do so he may have decided to draw the fight out as a way to play it safe because he knew he had the endurance advantage. No sense in taking the risk of looking bad by losing against a non boxer trying to put him away early if you know endurance is one of your biggest advantages.

You're coming off as triggered. I certainly do not care about either of these people. But it's cool, you are certainly entitled to think what you want about the fight.

Well I overestimated Mcgregor's dynamite and Mayweather's bicycle, otherwise the predicted circus, although strangely a little better than I thought it would be. I still wonder how long this has been planned and hyped, was it planned all the way back to the Rousey/Mayweather comments? I also can't help a nagging feeling Mayweather could have ended it anytime after the sixth at will. And while he says he's retired a rematch in 2 years when Mcgregor is an even bigger star and a hundred million more to beat an "improved" Mcgregor, am I cynical... maybe.
lucky that mayweather is the best in boxing at this point. 80's mike tyson would have ended the fight and mcgregors career in under 2 minutes..

Yeah, but weight class for weight class Floyd is a cut above Tyson, for my money Roy Jones Jnr is the only modern fighter with a legacy equal to him and he ran from Steve Collins by going up a weight.
Interesting fact about 80's Tyson, Lewis got sent home from Tyson's training camp because he kept beating him up in training, this was when Lennox had won the Olympic Gold and just turned pro. I will always think Tyson was overrated even before Desiree Washington and Buster Douglas, before Prison and yes he wasn't the same after it... To be honest, I think the worst fight of a similar weight boxer from the past for Mcgregor would have been fellow Dubliner Steve Collins, that guy knew dirty boxing.
i was being silly about tyson. but if i had to pick one fighter from that weight class as a superior example I'd go with sugar ray leonard.

Yeah, he was awesome but he lost a bit of respect from me after the Haggler fight where he is actually overheard on the TV boom mike telling Haggler that Haggler had beat him and then when he got the judges decision and won on points denied and denies to this day he ever said it. Still love him though.
yeah that was a show of poor character, pulling a taylor swift like that. but apollo creed pulled that exact BS with rocky and we forgave him.

Yes, he did haha, to be honest as a teen I had all Leonards fights on VHS, along with Haggler and Hearns, and I would try and fail to emulate them at the local boxing gym, I was very lucky, to be honest, I first put a pair of gloves on at the Thomas a Beckett gym on the Old Kent Rd, which was famous and had a lot of pros in it. Henry Cooper even trained there... That said, it had a lot of amateurs and kids like me who just wanted to learn to box, it did mean though when we moved to Brighton the following year I had got a good grounding when I started training at Whitehawk Boys Club (also a good place to learn to box in those days).
