Khabib said he was better because of that and he dropped Conor so the fight to him is credible now for at least 50 million so he is being reasonable, the fight will likely sell over 3 million buysKhabib lands one good shot against Conor and all of a sudden he's the best boxer in MMA? no.
You might be surprised how good Khabibs stamina will beKhabib wouldn't have the stamina to BOX with Floyd for 12 rounds. That's an acquired skill, big difference in mma cardio and boxing.
No doubt Khabib lasts longer than Conor, but I dont see him making it much further than a 6th round before his tank is on empty, especially with a defensive master like Floyd.
Loma vs 43 year old non-training Floyd would actually be a pretty close match.Lol
Too bad Loma can't fight for him. I think he'd still lose but would fare better than Khabib.
Henry Armstrong? Maidana? These were both champion boxers. Henry Armstrong was one of the all time greats. Chino was a boxing champion in his own right, in two weight classes.
I underline boxer because I don't believe it to be a fair comparison gauging someone new to pro boxing against elite level boxers.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion I guess. We don't know until we know. I see a blow out on every level if Khabib boxes Floyd.

I just read it on Boxing scene he believes his son will do better than Mcgregor and has a big chance against the older slower Floyd. He also wants Mike Tyson and Lomachenkos father to train his son and believes his son can learn how to beat Floyd, I believe Khabib has a shot if he uses Henry Amrstrong style with MAidana and use his size on the older smaller Floyd

I believe it too, Maidana gave Floyd a hard time and Khabib is much bigger and faster than Maidana they also throw similar haymakers
Khabib will need to trap Floyd and make the fight dirty, Floyd doesn't move like he used to anymore and Khabib is young and has stamina
I watched this video of Henry Armstrong and it gave me confidence in Khabib please make it happen Khabib boxes similar to Armstrong and if he gets in close he can really break Floyds body bad

Obviously Khabib has no chance against Floyd in the boxing ring, but I like the thinking of Lomachenko Sr training Khabib. Lomachenko and Abdulmanap are both Ukrainian National Sambo Champions and master of sport I believe, and Loma also came from a Sambo background. Loma Sr would have Khabib's footwork and boxing looking crisp as hell.
