With a 6 month crash course in take down defense could Canelo Alvarez beat Conor Mcgregor in an MMA fight?

no, eventually conor will drag him to the mat and that's it. Conor will look like Khabib. People don't give his grappling enough credit. That very first tdd sequence was impressive, even though he was eventually taken down.

After all the cokes and hookers just about anyone can take on Conor at the moment

Not fucking really. What he should've done was to straighten his legs out and push down on Khabib's head down to the ground while circling out instead of just wrapping his hands around Khabib's waist. If you think his takedown defense was good you don't know shit about grappling.

>hurrr duurrrr i could beat one of the greatest mma fighters he should have done this!

shit is easier said than done when facing an elite level grappler like khabib. conor definitwly did better than most in the first round but his weak stamina caused him to get completely dismanteled in the second sealing mcgregors fate as the fight dragged on

>t. Never did any contact sports in his life

If you ever wrestled they'd teach you to never ever put your head outside the leg when you're going for a single leg. A proper takedown defense would defend you against a takedown especially on an all or nothing single leg dive Khabib did from a fucking mile away.

In mma? Absolutely not. Canelo would get embarrassed just like Conor did in his boxing match.

While his takedown defense isnt great, he was also facing someone who specializes in wrestling dude. Even people with great takedown defense have gotten rekt by Khabib

Absolutely not. Conor will not be in boxing range for more than half a second. Kickboxing and boxing ranges are two TOTALLY different worlds. Have you seen Canelo's legs? 2 leg kicks from a distance where Canelo can't even put a hand on Conor, and Canelo will realize he has absolutely NOTHING for Conor in this world. Canelo would need 3 years working with Jordan Burroughs and Tyrone Spong, while Conor rails coke and sandblasts hookers for it to be competitve.

HOWEVER, if Conor stepped in the ring with Canelo, boxing only? We might witness the first legitimate murder in boxing. There are LEVELS to these things, and Conor is WORLDS ahead in 9 out of 10 categories inside the octagon. But in pure boxing? Canelo has damn near perfected the art (save NoMasChenko)

That being said, I don't know why in the build up to MayMac this wasn't brought up more. If I was Conor, every time Mayweather started flashing checks or yelling about his record, I would have simply said "I could kill you right now and there would be nothing you could do to stop me". I mean, if they had legit beef on the street, Conor could put Floyd to sleep, break every one of his limbs and stick his thumb up his ass until Floyd called him daddy and there would be nothing Floyd could do. Why didn't Conor harp on that more? "If we met outside I could literally kill you in seconds and there would be nothing you could do about it" would be definitive as fuck, and NO ONE could argue anything different.

TL;DR: No, Canelo gets his legs chopped down, teeped to the stomach until Conor wants to take him down and bang elbows through his skull or choke him out, but in boxing, Conor's head becomes a souvenir to a lucky fan in the nosebleeds.
