One of the reasons that no one ever thought Conor McGregor would actually fight Floyd Maweather, is because of the gaping chasm of skill level between the two. Mayweather has been nearly untouchable for his entire boxing career. in 49 fights, the best boxers around weren’t able to put him away, so how could McGregor? For his entire career, people have said that same thing for McGregor. Long-time striking coach Owen Roddy shrugs it off and says things would be different if you could see him in the gym.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cPeople were on the fence about this, even in the MMA community, but when you see what he\u2019s doing, the work rate and the effort that he puts in \u2013 it\u2019s hard not to believe that he can do this. Even just speaking to him you can tell that this isn\u2019t a payday. This about proving people wrong and proving that he can do what many people feel is impossible. The thing is, with Conor, he proves people wrong all the time. He always sets himself these targets of doing the impossible. Nobody gives him a chance and then they hear him speak and they see what he\u2019s doing, then they become believers. It happens every camp.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
