How would Holloway do against top 5 lightweights

[Unfinished Sentenc]

Khabib
Ferguson
Alvarez
Dos anjos
Barboza

He would beat them all via footwork

 

[sirmorbach]

He would lose to all of them.

 

[toe hold]

He would be a decided underdog to all of them, and justifiably so.

Holloway is extremely talented and has improved dramatically as he has aged, but those guys have a serious size/weight advantage over him.

 

[storeybuckle]

Don't know would have to watch him fight them and see

 

[Fatback96]

Aldo would have a much better chance than Holloway would.

 

[Gilday]

He beats Alvarez and maybe Dos Anjos

 

[Michael Wetzel]

He would beat Barboza, be 50-50 against Dos Anjos and Alvarez.

 

[thenorthernmonkey]

He beats Alvarez and maybe Dos Anjos

agree, and maybe even barboza based on his last fight. I know he won but it didn't really inspire until the ko. I think max would be too busy for him. khabibmisu and tony no chance.

 

[Karelinator]

I feel Kabib would just toss him around, and Ferguson, would eventually overwhelm him and choke him out.

Against the others, he would have good chance, I guess it depends on whether he could:

-stuff Dos Anjos's TD
-shut down the kicking game of Barboza, like he did with Pettis. Because I don't think he would be able to take Barboza's kick's too well...

 

[Phillyz]

He would beat everyone except Khabib

 

[Lodewijkp]

50-50 on all except khabib , khabib will GSP him.

Holloway isn't in his prime yet and still learning, give the guy a break.

 

[edirp]

Ferguson would pull out of the fight.

 

[Mixed]

Holloway is probably one of the most overrated fighters right now. Yes, he has performed well and beaten good guys, but he's still just a contender despite his interim belt. As long as Aldo is fighting, Holloway will be just that, a solid contender.

What had Pettis done in the FW division for Holloway to get a belt with a win over him? Pretty much nothing. If there is a paper belt in the UFC right now, it's the one that Holloway is holding.

 

[Lodewijkp]

Ferguson would pull out of the fight.

yeah otherwise he might get pregnant

 

[CrimsonFan]

Hes way too scrawny. He would need like over a year to bulk up.

 

[BryanTheFighter]

Khabib
Ferguson
Alvarez
Dos anjos
Barboza

He would beat them all via footwork

Khabib= Holloway would get wreslefucked ( I love to watch it though)
Ferguson=50-50 fight at best, Decision win for Holloway or maybe Ferguson who has the reach advantage and better bjj
Alvarez= Decision win for Holloway
Dos anjos= Decision win for Holloway
Barboza= Decision win for Holloway

 

[Lodewijkp]

i can see holloway knocking out alvarez

 

[Unfinished Sentenc]

He would lose to all of them.

 

[daprodigal2]

he'd make it competitive, but he would lose.

 

[TheNinja]

If he took some time to properly pack on muscle he'd do well. If he fought at his current size he'd have a really tough time with the size. His frame/height is enough that he could eventually go to LW properly though.
