At featherweight he cuts a lot, but at lightweight he doesn't, I don't know if you're referencing Boxing or MMA, but in mma the average fighter cuts a lot more than 12 pounds. Most guys at the top of their respective divisions cut upwards of 25.

The heavier the weight the more water weight you can cut last minute, most have this down to a fine art. People don't cut as drastically as they once did due to incidents like Michael Watson and Gerald McClellan where the use of diuretics was at least contributory to brain damage and in McClellan's case death. And if your saw how much bigger than Alvarez quite a standard lightweight Mcgregor was you realise he cuts a lot even for lightweight.
I'm just curious what they even thought he meant when they thought it was racism lol. Like what they specifically thought he was trying to say when he said he "turned him into a mexican".

So what you are saying is Alvarez is a short man who has packed on muscle to compete at that weight like a bodybuilder and isn't naturally big enough without the extra bulk to compete? And outside of fight time he is not in fighting shape? Whereas Mcgregor is a naturally bigger framed man who drops weight to compete against pumped up dwarves?
I am seeing some act like they almost feel cheated. Like Mayweather and McGregor pulled one over on everyone and are laughing all the way to the bank.
I guess the implication there is that from the beginning they both knew McGregor had no real chance, but just set it up to make money.

I'm surprised people bought into the hype. The quest for 50-0, the size/age difference, the shit talking, etc, were all just marketing tools. I doubt McGregor genuinely thought he'd win, or that Floyd cared that much about 50-0. In the off chance chance McGregor did get an early KO, Floyd still walks away with tons of money. There is no downside to this fight at all, regardless of outcome. They were totally working together on this.
It's speculated Conor got at least 100 mil and Floyd 300 mil. They're laughing their asses off while people at Sherdog argue Boxing vs MMA.
Well, Conor has always been upfront that his primary concern is money. He just happens to be super talented, both as a fighter and a hype man.
Keep in mind, I'm not criticizing them. If you told me I could get 100 million dollars for getting my ass beat, I'd wrap my hands right now and walk to Vegas.

Inoki nigh-effortlessly dominated Ali tbh (despite the rules being geared toward gimping Inoki's offensive reservoir) and demonstrated the fundamental limitations of boxing as a martial art. It was a great fight tbh fam.
That fight was a debacle, imo. Inoki on his back like some cheap Romanian whore for 90+% of the time and Ali looking like a clown. Not sure Inoki dominated, he did have the best hits though, the very few that were had. All out; both being able to use the full arsenal of their respective sports, Inoki would have likely won as he was around Ali's size, if a bit heavier. Barring Ali catching Inoki with a clean chin-shot as Inoki came in.
