Vad Conor McGregors framtid håller kan bara spekuleras i. Mcgregors träningspartner och framtidslöfte, James Gallagher, med ett fighter-facit på fyra vinster varav tre via submission hävdar att McGregor, blivit större än sporten MMA.
I think the UFC are trying to hold him back or something, but it’s too late, it’s done – Sade Gallagher till FloCombat. He’s bigger than the whole game and that fight with Floyd and the boxing, that’s the biggest sporting thing in history. Bigger than football and the lot. It will blow everything out of the water. It would be something historic, it’s hard to put into words.
Vidare menade Gallagher att en boxningsmatch mellan Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor skulle bli historiskt och att irländaren skulle ha en storleksfördel mot, diskuterbart, en av världens bästa boxare genom tiderna.
That’s lethal he’s got a boxing license. He’s bigger than the sport. People don’t want to admit it, but he’s bigger than the sport.
Floyd’s never seen that style before, all he’s seen is boxers before. He’s never seen anyone with the MMA style of boxing before and it’s something different. It’d be an interesting one to see and if Conor hits him he’s hitting the floor–he’s going down.
Conor’s left hand is just too powerful and the size advantage he’d have on Floyd would be big. Conor’s a massive, massive 145er. Same as Floyd I think he’s 146-147. Conor is just massive for that weight so he’d have the size advantage and he’d have the power and stuff.Floyd is the greatest boxer ever, But Conor is the greatest MMA fighter of all time. I would be so excited to see that if it went down
Vad framtiden håller för McGregor är ovisst men en potentiell boxningsmatch mot Floyd Mayweather skulle onekligen vara ett stort steg för den 28-årige irländaren.
