After hearing so much about people saying that Conor has virtually no chance in hell of winning v Usman or Jorge in a potential fight due to the size difference, I just had to make this thread.

Because that narrative is totally false. Both Khabib and Tony walk around the same weight as Usman and Jorge. Between 185 upwards to 190.
By saying Conor has a chance v Tony and Khabib and not Usman or Jorge is totally flawed. Since in all reality both Khabib and Tony would be natural WW fighters and would probably be nr 1 and 2 in that div as well imo. 

I am not saying Conor McGregor is going to win v Any of them, I am just stating that saying he has no chance in the WW div is just flawed.

But I am saying he could win and make it competitive v all four of them. 

The reason i am saying that Conor McGregor has a chance v All four of them is because I see holes in their games that I can see conor exploit to the fullest. 

And I can see Conor winning v all 
And I can also see Conor losing v all of them 
The statement I am making is that Conor McGregor has a chance. 
And people thinking that he has a shot v Tony or Khabib and not Jorge and Usman are just blinded by the fact that they want to believe that. 
Conor has a chance v all four of them. 
And I am rooting for him to make history yet again.

So what you're saying is that conor could win or lose against any of them. 

What spectacular powers of  insight you truly possess.

You really need to get Conor's nuts off your chin. Literally nobody on this forum cares that you have a man crush. Stop with the spam.

So wait. Are you trying to say that Khabib, Ferguson, Usman & Jorge are ALL the same size?

WEL...

No 
I am saying that the size difference is not enough for the argument to say that Jorge or Usman are too big for Conor.
Because in all reality Both Tony and Khabib are WW and imo are better than both Jorge and Usman.
By saying he has no chance in WW div because of the size difference, and to then say he has a chance v Tony or Khabib in the LW div is just silly to me.
I can say that I believe Conor McGregor can compete with all of them.
But I can also respect the Argument that he can't beat non of them and that Conor ain't the same lvl as Tony, Khabib, Jorge and Usman. 
I strongly disagree with that but atleast you have a better argument than the so called size difference

You may be right, that Tony & Khabib walk around at Welterweight weight... But that doesn't mean they're the same size as the guys fighting at Welterweight. Because the guys fighting at Welterweight, most likely walk around at 185 at the minimum. Ya see what I'm saying.... I don't think Masvidal could make 155 anymore.

I think we can all agree that conor did good. He is the undisputed champ of semi retired 155'ers fighting at 170.

It's Tony Ferguson who will make history anyway.

If Conor fights Kamaru Usman, it would look similar to the Khabib Nurmagomedov fight.

It would be worst then the Khabib fight! I think Usman is the biggest WW right now. He will throw McGregor all arround and smash him with G&P. Honnestly, Woodley, Covington and Edwars all beat McGregor easy.

I agree that Usman, Covington and Woodley would beat McGregor as they are all bad matchups for him. I could see him catching Edwards if they fought though and finding a way to win that fight.

Conor should go to boxing, because his run at the top in MMA is over.
