It depends on your perspective /expectations of the contest Conor mcgregor is a street fighter compared to Mayweather.....I think Mcgregor would struggle with strictly Queensberry rules' and that's not hid strength.....my money would be on Mayweather in a boxing match all day long, I wouldn't be surprised if Mcgregor gets ko'd
repetition is what will get him. Under pure boxing rules, I wonder if McGregor will even lay a glove on Mayweather?
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jose-mourinho-arrives-portugal-church-10694531 Not a fan of mourinho as a person but it doesn't sit well with me the press taking pictures of him and his family/kids at mourinho's dad's funeral......do ppl really want to see pictures of this? OK he is a high profile manager but it's his footballing acumen that is of interest, his life outside football seems to be mundane
so, in essence, you're agreeing that it's less likely that Mayweather will KO McGregor than that the fight will go the distance, unless McGregor wins?
No sir, my point was highlighting the fact that Mayweather has not KO'ed an opponent for some time is 35% attributed to hime leaving the sport plus, an opponent such as Pacquiao is not an easy fight.....yet I still feel, In a queensburry rules environment FMs experience will be enough
Summary of This Thread *Poster makes random thought/statement *Stilton challenges said statement *Argument (typically over semantics) ensues *The rest of us stare at the clock hoping it's August already.
May I interject? I feel you missed the part where Stilton disregards logic / points against any argument and persues another random issue

I may be travelling to stuttgart in next month......how long will it take to get to Munchen via rail?
Yes, let's. Was watching some highlights of the 1982 World Cup (random I know but hey, it's the thread title) the other day and I'm curious. What is the German feeling towards the f uckery exhibited by West Germany and Austria in their final group game where once West Germany took a 1-0 lead (and both teams knew they were safe since FIFA didn't play final group games simultaneously back then), both teams basically just strolled around passing the ball and pretending to play? National shame or necessary evil?
It's neither. It's not a big deal actually. I think it is only a big deal in the English speaking world. I mean we're not proud of it and we're not denying it happened but the general sentiment is Germany had such a good team, a win vs Austria was possible if not to be expected. The German term for it is not disgrace of Gijon but non-aggression pact of Gijon. I think this says a lot. The German team faced far bigger trouble in the press after they lost against Algeria. The German and Austrian commentators stopped announcing at some point to show their disgust though. The far, far bigger scandal was later the Schumacher Battiston incident although that of course is a more individual shame in the person of Toni Schumacher and what he said after the game. So if you ask me, Id say national shame certainly not, "evil" not quite, but "doing what's neccessary in the right moment".
But "why" are you saying it was "necessary"? Don't get that??? (btw/ I don't consider it such a big deal, being that the countries are soo close, but many would consider it a very bad big deal ....)
In a sense that it was clever to make use of the situation and save energy and prevent injuries n stuff. It was neccessary to secure the success of the team and not take any risks.
