I agree he is over rated but for somewhat different reasons. He has some great accomplishments but was given the opportunity to achieve those complements on a silver platter.

He also never fought Nate Diaz at 155 lbs .. they fought at 170 lbs. Allot of his fights he had advantages in his favor. Examples below :

• His tremendous size advantage over the 145 lb division.
• He fought Mendes when Mendes only had a couple weeks to train and Conor himself had a full camp.
• Nate Diaz had 0 time to train in their first fight and is a win one lose one fighter at 155 lbs and still managed to beat Conor.
• The second Diaz fight was extremely close and somehow going 1-1 with Nate Diaz in the 170 lb division earned him a shot at the 155 lb title.

I thought he did well in the Floyd boxing match all things considered. After-all he is an MMA fighter in a boxing ring with one of the best to ever box. If the roles were reversed and Floyd was in the Octagon with one of the very best MMA fighters then Floyd likely wouldn't make it past the first minute of the fight. Kudos to Conor for at least making the boxing match somewhat entertaining.
