Khabib would probably go the full distance with Floyd if they boxed

He wouldn't, for a bunch of different reasons:

- Khabib's striking success is highly associeted to the threat of TD. He wouldn't have that in a boxing match.

- Khabib's punches are wild and predictable. They work because of his wrestling. They wouldn't work against a master like Floyd.

- There's no mystique about Khabib's striking. He is pretty straight forward. The reason Conor vs Floyd was interesting to certain people is because they thought Conor's unconventional style. Even Floyd was a little hesitant and decided to let Conor work a little bit so he could get the blueprint of how he moves and adapt. Khabib0s style is much closer to traditional boxing than Conor's.
 
This fight will not happen,and its a stupid fight,BUT its smart for Floyd and Khabib to entertain it.
 
oooof Floyd would absolutely toy with Khabib in a boxing match
 
Slow day on the forums ...

Amazing how Sherdoggers think because Khabib caught not 100% Conor on a lucky punch in an MMA fight that he is some world class boxer now. Guy is completely useless without takedown threat. Reacts like a novice, trips over himself constantly, throws punches slower than HWs, etc.

Bullshit, Khabib was fast af against Conor and he managed to slip every lefthand counter
infact Conor wasn't able to deal with Khabib's jab

Because Conor wasn’t 100%. Lol @ thinking Khabib is fast. He is slow as can be. He would be eaten alive by boxers. Look at that poor footwork in that gif LOL
 
Agree. Khabib's a proven better striker than Conor, and a better athlete as well. Conor's a C-level athlete at best. I believe Floyd would have some trouble

I have immense respect for Khabib and Conor is a C-level athlete in that his cardio is horrible for someone who gets paid millions upon millions of dollars.

That said, I believe Mayweather would starch Khabib who is a conventional fighter which is Floyd's bread & butter. Conor was a southpaw and as such, Mayweather had to work a little bit more than usual. Right handed fighters are a cakewalk for Floyd, an unranked right handed fighter is a snack.
 
This thread is #1 bullshit.
