Khaduck confirmed. so much for khaleed wanting legacy fights. maybe after mayweather.
im not a fan of khabib. i think he's a hypocrite and a very boring fighter who cuts weight to bully smaller fighters. I also think tony beats him relatively clearly. That said, if he does beat tony he's goat lw. Shame tony's body is breaking down.
and....?
You really want to see him box Floyd? Conor would fuck Khabib up in a boxing match once Khabib wasn't able to use/threaten the takedown like he can in MMA. Would make MMA look even worse that a what 43 year old retired boxer would embarrass an undefeated fighter, provided of course Khabib beats Tony, with contemptuous ease. You know how people were saying Conor wouldn't land a punch on Floyd pre fight, I genuinely think Khabib would be incapable of landing on Floyd.
I will tell you who wants to watch and why. Khabib has said he will be happy to fight Floyd BUT it must be 1 round of MMA followed by 11 rounds of boxing for a 12 round event. I am definitely in.
Even the most ardent Khabib fan would admit Conor would embarrass Khabib boxing, can you imagine what Floyd would do to Khaibb ffs? Only upside would be it would end up being so embarrassingly one sided it would make Conor Floyd look like a classic and it would hopefully end the idea of MMA fighters thinking they can actually box.
If they strip him, he retires and Dana and Conor don't get a rematch of the biggest PPV of all time. They also lose a huge star and opportunity in Russia and the mideast. Dana is not this stupid. Khabib has a lot more leverage than you think here, especially since he already finished Conor and it's a joke that Conor would get the rematch off of the Cerrone fight at 170. If Khabib says, let him fight Gaethje if he wants a shot. Dana will cave and make that fight.
