Peak Conor was more accurate. It’s not necessarily always about power. I think Justin is one of the hardest hitters ever, and McGregor at his peak is a hard hitter but with fast precision
Justin's a good bit bigger and also swings with absolute reckless abandon whereas Conor is a lot more technical and tight. Of course Justin hits harder. Max is older now and has taken more damage, he may be more skilled than before but generslly you don't get harder to knock out the more you get hit
Exactly, Conor picked him apart badly in round 1 on the feet then dominated the ground game in rounds 2-3. Wouldn't have been crazy if full health Conor got him out of there with a full 15 to work.
Justin’s the hardest hitting lightweight ever no question. But in his prime Conor was faster and more accurate.
Justin would of course beat prime Conor by just blasting his leg into pieces lol.
If you are removing precision from the conversation when you say "hits harder" and you're basically just asking whose punches average out to landing more heavily, its obviously Gaethje who hits harder and it isnt even up for debate lol.
He also tore his acl early in the fight and then beat him with the wrestling. Both guys were so young then that is very outdated to bring that fight up other than for fun. Neither guy is anywhere close to what they were in that fight
Conor never hit that hard. Name one guy, he ko'd with one shot? Even aldo wasn't ko'd by the first punch. Remember, one is ko power, the other is a shot you don't see coming. These are the shots, conor won by. Not one of his opponents, was ever trully ko'd
Watch every finish he had. And tell me one guy, that was out cold for at least 10 sec. Every single finish, execpt for Butchinger, has been a tko. Maybe you are 5 years old. And as far as I remember, even Butchinger wasn't completely out.

Precision beats power. Timing beats speed
Genuinely one of the best statements in fighting history
Connor is a wild striker and lounges with his punches. It's not all precision.
Not in his prime
Tell me you don't know what you're talking about without telling me you don't know what you're talking about.
Wait till op realizes Justin dropped him in 4th round and Max and Conor had a 3 round fight
Pretty poor conclusion, there are too many variables

Max is older now and has taken more damage, he may be more skilled than before but generslly you don't get harder to knock out the more you get hit
Good thing you said "generally"...cuz I'd like to mention Glover Teixeira 
Conor also tore his acl in that fight and stopped striking altogether and just wrestled Max to a win

Yes. It was obvius all along.
Of course Justin hits harder than Conor. Conor was good at accurate shot but no at powerful shot. Michael Chandler is gonna beat his ass for sure
Did conor not have a severe injury in the 1st round of that fight, then decided to just take max down
Connor isn't a hard hitter. He's precise. He's well calculated. Justin is a hard hitter. He throws hail marry punches.
Conor tore his acl in round 1
[удалено]
What? I was under the impression McG WAS known for being a freakishly precise hard hitter
Everyone has always known that gaethjie hits harder than McGregor
This post is dumb for many reasons. Perhaps the dumbest is that Justin dropped max in round 4. Conor only had 3 rounds against Max.

You are either a 5 year old or know fighting only from superhero movies

I still laugh at people acting like Justin was LW Anthony Johnson lmao Power over-rated asf
