You want me to give Conor McGregor "credit" for agreeing to becoming a multi-millionaire? Because that's all that happened here. Remember when people would ask if you'd fight Iron Mike Tyson for a million dollars? Of COURSE you would do it, while praying you didn't die. That's all this fight represented.
Conor proved he was willing to risk his health for mega-wealth, in a high-stakes episode of "Jackass." That's all. Since he was already a professional prize fighter anyway, this risk was less brave for him than it would've been for you as a non-pro fighter, but the basic principle was still the same when you pit a 0-0 novice boxer against the 49-0 future hall-of-fame, long-time pound-for-pound, boxing prodigy, multi-world champion. I'm not giving Conor "credit" to be a reckless daredevil for big money when we ALL would've jumped at the chance to make $100 million in less than an hour. That's why Quora is all of a sudden full of "How can I challenge Floyd, too???" questions. lol
That's hilarious. I was a good high school wrestler and tried to walk on a top 5 college team. I got embarrassed by someone 40 pounds lighter.
I've wrestled an Olympic silver medalist, Cain Velasquez coached at my high school and I have wrestled him (he was at ASU at the time). The difference in class between a fantastic high school wrestler and an Olympian or even a top tier college wrestler is laughable. I would compare it to a top level high school wrestler competing against a 10 year old. It's not the same league, it's not even the same sport.

Conor gasses quickly because he goes for knockout punches pretty much all the time. very inefficient with his energy.

True
Floyd hits harder than Conor.
