^^^Why do you assume McGregor doesn't have that LW power?
McGregor couldn't knock out a durable guy @ welterweight...but just the same...Diaz wasn't walking through Conor's punches....Conor is probably as powerful as Jamie Varner and Varner(and the cage
) tko'd Barboza.
And from the Varner, Pearson and El Cucuy fights....we know Barboza can struggle from dudes constantly staying in his face...
I'm not convinced that Diaz not backing down from Conor has made him less than a bully now....Conor's gonna try to smother Barboza's range and lay those paws on him.
But I do think Barboza is getting better all the time....I have Conor as like....a 60/40 favorite if this fight ever materializes. Hopefully that's their next fight and winner gets Alvarez-RDS winner.
Jon-Cormier @ 200 and Barboza getting closer to a title fight....thank you, UFC197
