Wasn't that a compound spiral fracture? So like ten million billion times worse than what happened to McGregor? And even he managed to play again.

Yeah Mcgregor isnt going to let other younger fighters, or highly ranked guys at LW and WW call him out. If he can still go in there and be effective I think he will continue until he isnt. I bet he blew a lot of his money already. Hopefully he invests it now with that huge chunk from selling proper 21.

That was because of Mayweather the payday was that big, any 20/30 year old ranked boxers would knock Connor out in the first round without breaking a sweat.

Yeah, Alex managed to "play" again, sure. How long did that last?
I'm not saying Alex's injury wasn't worse, but it literally ended his career. Who gives a fuck if he came back for a couple meaningless games before retiring? Yeah, he can walk again, great. That means fuckall for his professional career and I'm just saying that "successful" is loosely defined there. Personally successful? Sure. Professionally? No chance.
Connor will essentially go the route of Alex Smith. Fight a couple meaningless fights (or probably just one if he loses again) and look sad. It's almost assured he'll never have the same mobility and at 32? He'll be looking at 34 by the time he even sets foot in a ring again.

i was wondering that too. He should break the other one tomorrow so he can fight on 2 steel bars.

Well he's 36, hadn't played in almost 3 years, and his comeback was on a dumpster fire of a franchise. Obviously he wasn't the same as before the injury, but I think he could have had a respectable season if he'd had a decent o-line in front of him instead of a collection of human turnstiles.
Smith aside, I already predicted that McGregor won't fight again.

Infection almost killed him, but it also took 17 surgeries, not just 1. It was a truly catastrophic fracture and if he didn't have the money of an NFL QB he would have lost the leg.
