Floyd manletweather has bit off more than he can chew in this one, Connor McGregor is too young, skilled, and powerful. And much bigger

But Mayweather is richer including things like the chain of strip clubs.

De La Hoya is around the same height and reach I think.

I know we like to joke around and "troll" on this web site, but let's be real. Conor's going to win because he's better, not because he's bigger.

Has Mayweather ever witnessed a man, nay, a Titan, of such might? One who swats away clouds as he strides over mountaintops? I mean, an entire inch taller and with two more inches of reach? Will Mayweather be allowed to bring the rest of the liliputians into the ring with him?

This dudes last promo during the lomachenko fight was some deplorable poo poo. Neither him nor his opponent would look at the camera or each other they mumbled one word replies to everything and when asked if they had anything to say to each other replied "not really."

The quality of the actual Crawford/Indongo and May/Mac fights will be the inverse of the hype for each.

Fighters should definitely be critiqued on their ability to cut promos rather than their fighting ability. It's about time someone says, "That's enough guys. Start talking."

This but unironically. 99.999% of fans don't watch to see who has the quickest jab or who circles away the best. We want to see people we know and care about fight for our entertainment. If you aren't consistently spectacular, like levels ahead of everyone, and you also don't have an interesting personality or story, nobody will ever care about you.

IMO anyone who makes it to the highest level of combat sports certainly has at least a couple interesting stories, and they should share those instead of giving zero effort generic canned responses.

Too much money for that level of honesty, gotta protect Their Brand(tm) and big themselves up constantly hoping for a prize pot so big it really doesn't matter if they win or lose.
