PAULIE MALIGNAGGI claimed Conor McGregor’s boxing ability is so “brutally bad” a YouTuber like AnEsonGib could beat him.
Malignaggi has feuded McGregor ever since their infamous sparring sessions in 2017.
And the retired ex-boxing world champion even fancies YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul’s chances against the UFC legend in MMA.
He told Lord Ping: “This guy posts pictures of him running up mountains, swimming 25 miles, bicycling through the desert – just to make himself look like he’s Rocky during training and then he gets in the cage and he’s tired after 30 seconds.
“He’s got no balls. There’s no way you can get that tired unless your anxiety levels are through the roof. He gets scared in there.
“Jake just needs the ability to hang in there and he can start to trouble him a little. He can put himself in the position to win the fight.

“I think McGregor’s boxing is brutally bad, but at this point, even in MMA, if you hang with him he will get uncomfortable.”
Malignaggi sparred McGregor before the Irishman’s crossover super-fight against boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, which he lost in ten rounds.
But after images and videos were leaked – including a disputed knockdown – the American stormed out of the camp.
Malignaggi, 42, has rivalled McGregor, 34, ever since and continues to aim digs his way.

He added: “Conor McGregor’s boxing skills are so brutal that I think even a YouTube boxer like AnEsonGib would beat Conor McGregor in a boxing ring.
“I worked with Gib for his first last year against Austin McBroom and Gib brings a lot of stress and a lot of pressure.
“At this point, I think he’d even beat up Conor McGregor in a boxing ring.”
