2) He has poor defence and his chin won't hold up forever
Conor has good defense. The hell you talking about?

You are the one that used that as an example when you talked about how impressive it is that he's never been knocked down. Re-read your own post carefully my guy.did you even read my post? what does his poor ground game have to do with his adamantium chin?
He fought holloway, poirer, mendes, aldo, alvarez and mayweather and hasn't been dropped. Is that better?You are the one that used that as an example when you talked about how impressive it is that he's never been knocked down. Re-read your own post carefully my brethren.
I was talking about one specific fight that he brought up lol.He fought holloway, poirer, mendes, aldo, alvarez and mayweather and hasn't been dropped. Is that better?
It's obviously not glass or anything, but it's strange because I remember him eating some good shots from Chad, but then pillow-fisted Nate rocked him and forced him to panic wrestle. I don't hold the Mayweather loss against him because it was his first time in a pro boxing match. Khabib is a bad technical striker but he connects with one of his wild haymakers somehow, it could spell trouble for Conor, especially if he's already hurt from G&P.
I think it's slightly above average, but nothing special. What say you?
He definitely gasses but I disagree with the poor defense part. I don't know why I see that said around here so often he hardly gets tagged unless he is gassed.
edit: Nate didn't touch him until he gassed and Eddie landed like 2 clean punches.
The money bet to make is Khabib by TKO, as this includes the odds for a standing TKO, as well as the much more likely ground and pound.
his chine is fine
I don't know if he purposefully relies on his chin. He seems to rely on slight movements as displayed in the first two rounds of Diaz 2, and against Eddie. He'll just move his chin just out of the way. Honestly his defense is better than most.Conor doesn't have the best defense, but not because he's unable to, but because he fights lazy.
He relies on his chin, because he feels like he can, but it ends up getting him tired.
You're going to lose everything you own.
He has a very good chin but not heart once he gassed. I think he would tap to strikes before going out.
Duffy was leaking blood and he became a pro boxer after that fight. It was a long time ago. Everyone improves (except Conor)Didn't that fight end in 38 seconds with Conor getting choked an inch away from total unconsciousness?
screaminleemin or something like that?where's the "there is no such thing as a chin" dude when you need him
on topic, he has a solid chin when he is fresh, not so much when gassed. He's no JDS that's for sure
