Freddie Roach approached by Conor McGregor amid speculation he's set to sign a fight deal with Floyd Mayweather.
Still refuse to believe Mayweather would take this. Mayweather could outbox him all night but that isn't the point here, McGregor has a steel chin and Mayweather's power is already minimal with the fact nothing Floyd throws is going to phase him in the slightest. McGregor would look to cut his head off from the get go. He's got the 25 minute cardio and is an absolutely deadly finisher. His boxing is no joke either, he carries above average accuracy and devastating power.
Just isn't happening, I could see McGregor getting DQ'd if Floyd stuck to the ropes the entire fight via McGregor taking him down and pounding him. This is a dangerous fight for boxing nevermind Floyd. Let's just stick to your own sports lads
If Floyd would take on McGregor then he'd take on a dropped weight Golovkin, which isn't happening either.
Floyd vs Khan or nothing. If you can't put Khan on the floor you can't beat him to be fair. that's why people want the fight, they want to see Floyd really challenged in boxing, not a scrap. Points vs Points, Mayweather vs Khan.
Carl Froch jumped out saying there was nothing left, that's annoyed me knowing Gennady Golovkin is sitting around as is Andre Ward just above him, some weight jumps here and there would've got the fights off the ground but given the Groves 1 fight it's clear Froch wants nothing to do with either.
Haye is on a path of knocking gob*****'s out, Shannon Briggs is on a suicide mission to headhunt him, I assure Shannon that Haye will find his chin quicker than he thinks, at 44 years old, you're pushing your luck, Lennox Lewis pounded this guy into oblivion at sluggers pace, Haye is no slugger and throws absolute bombs, Briggs is way out of his depth. Getting in the ring with some faster, harder hitting with decent accuracy is asking to be flattened. This leaves Joshua with a clear summer for a title defence against a lower rank.
So onto Joshua and I think we're all still a bit iffy about where they're taking him. We all agree it's better to take steps up than be a Kell Brook your entire career, but an IBF title this early on with the likes of Wilder, Haye and Fury gobbing about unifying is dangerous for Joshua, he's going to be a mile above Lennox Lewis by the end of his career but not if they ruin it early with big money fights against way more experienced hard hitters. Joshua needs to take some more on the chin and get used to taking that odd big shot because at present there's simply no way he takes a right hand from Wilder and Haye and then continues to fight, they'd both sink him for a 10. By the time Joshua is ready for this lot, they should be gone and have cleared the way for the Joshua dominance era.
