Fergusons loss proved what would have happened against Khabib?

[spacetime]

We all know that Khabib-Ferguson won't happen since it apparently violates the laws of physics. However, don't we now know who would have won?

 

[accolyte1022]

Khabob would more than likely keep Tony on his back, not smack him around on the feet.

 

[Amianto]

don't we now know who would have won?

No, because they did not fight.

So he gets wrecked by that dude but beats a much stronger one?

Different styles make different fights

 

[Vendettax]

We now know Tony would win

 

[COBRA03]

Khabib likely would have won, but you never know what can happen in a fight. Nobody thought GSP would lose to Matt Serra or that Bisping would KO Rockhold, but it happened.

 

[Guard]

Meh, I do think Khabib would've won either way but basing that on Tony's loss isn't smart

 

[Dana's Moonface]

We now know Tony would win

Justin doesn't fight anything like Khabib but Khabib would've crushed Tony worse than Gaethje did.

Levels to this game

It's likely that one of them would have won.

I do believe though, that it would have been a draw, or a split decission. Maybe a split draw.

No, of course it is more likely that Khabib would've won, but it obviously would've been a completely different fight and a fight I believe Tony would've been more prepared for stylistically. I see that fight being more competitive.

 

[DestinedAussie]

it depends at what point they met. Shame it never happened and almost certainly won't now.

 

[Mahkor]

Yeah, Khabib is a deadly striker like Justin.

Still a much weaker fighter

 

[DOMMA]

Tony has two issues that will hurt him against top guys, especially at this point in his career (age, mileage):

1. Easy to hit, poor defensive boxing
2. Easy to take down

Justin exploited the first flaw and Khabibi would exploit the second flaw for the W. Both Justin and Khabibi are terrible match-ups for Tony.

That's what I mean was proven

Knocked down conor

 

[Moro]

Conor fans that rallied behind Ferg are now lost, because Khabib would’ve beat Ferg regardless.

Who you gonna hide behind now Conor fanboys? JG?

Khabib likely would have won, but you never know what can happen in a fight. Nobody thought GSP would lose to Matt Serra or that Bisping would KO Rockhold, but it happened.

If you're implying a Ferguson win would be as unlikely as the two you list, I disagree.
