both fought manlets
Yeah, but khabib had more normal sized human beings mixed in there.

the tallest guy Khabib fought is Barboza: 5,11"Yeah, but khabib had more normal sized human beings mixed in there.
Who has the more impressive record, and who has faced higher caliber opponents and won?
For best wins I'd say:
For Khabib? I'd say RDA.
For McGregor? I'd say Jose Aldo.
Overall? McGregor has a far more impressive record. Does this give him an edge in the fight?
Are you saying that the Bus with a full camp beats Conor?...the bus wasn't fighting back.

So you would pick Aldo over khabib? You can't count Mcgregors wins at FW against Khabibs wins at lightweight. So all he has really is a good win over Alvarez and and Nate Nate Diaz he is 1-1 with,Conor clearly. Has more elite wins and beat two incumbent champions, one of whom being a p4p great. Khabib's resume right now isn't so good for a champion despite being clear of losses, but he may well build it up to be a great one.

The tallest guy Conor fought is Diaz: 6. ft"
he also fought Holloway who is 5,11"
aside from that both dudes have been fighting dudes who are 5,7"-5,8"
That's not what I'm saying. We're comparing resume, not making absolute h2h comparisons. RDA, Johnson, and Barboza as top 3 wins aren't as good as Aldo at FW, Mendes at FW, and Alvarez. Khabib may or may not be a better fighter than Conor, but his resume is much more shallow.So you would pick Aldo over khabib? You can't count Mcgregors wins at FW against Khabibs wins at lightweight.

I think he easily beats Diaz but would have trouble with Alvarez. Where as I think Conor has problems with RDA, Johnson and Barboza as they are slick strikers, especially Barboza as he has reach / extensive kickboxing experience

McGregor has won two belts and beaten a lot bigger names than Khabib has.Who has the more impressive record, and who has faced higher caliber opponents and won?

Just needs a good coach to give it proper direction.Are you saying that the Bus with a full camp beats Conor?
I have to disagree, I feel like Conor was HUGE for FW therefore his wins aren't that impressive. Also Mendes we all know only had 2 weeks to train. I feel like Johnson, Barboza, Ianquinta, RDA are 4 legit top 10 LW wins, compared to only Alvarez and a MD against DIaz (is he even ranked?)That's not what I'm saying.

Also, to be honest, Aldo would have a very good chance against Khabib I think. Khabib's takedowns in open space aren't nearly as good as his takedowns against the cage, and he has a technical, speed and power disadvantage vs Jose standing. Aldo matches up well with Khabib stylistically.

I think Conor could have beat all those guys but he has been too inactive recently
