Can we just get another LW title fight please?
Khabib boxes similar to Armstrong
Like how Conor was suppose to catch Floyd with the left?The age factor plus Floyd might get cocky and try and walk Khabib down and get caught with that overhand right on the temple
let him shock the world or at least try, support the man getting that paper he will have enough to by his townI like Khabib and everything, but lets come back to earth.
3 minute rounds with a 1 minute break inbetween. versus 5, 5 minute rounds of grappling heavy fighting. I think Khabib will be just fine in a boxing ring, unless he's getting hurt with strikes. So far he's shown he can take punches and kicks to the face and body.12 rounds of boxing is 36 minutes. Boxing is very taxing. Wrestling is very taxing.
They are both challenging for different reasons. As far as cardio is concerned studies show that amateurs from both sports demonstrate similar VO2 max levels at national, and international competition.
However, professional boxing is not 3 rounds, it is 12 rounds. I have not seen studies of elite pro level boxers VO2 max readings. However, giving consideration to simple reasoning in the fact that they are required to fight 4x the length of an amateur competition I believe it would be safe to predict that their levels exceed even the top talent of the amateur ranks.
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
I would watch. The battle of A-level athletes. Khabib has obvious advantages against Floyd, conditioning and physicality takes you very far in combat sports

Even worse is khabib fans thinking he's a better striker then conor.... Conor would flatten khabib in pure striking. It's the threat of the takedown that leads to his success at striking. Diaz, Poirier, Alvarez, aldo, Holloway, Ferguson, cerrone, and many many others would smoke khabib in a pure striking match. Please don't be so delusional.No worst that Connor fans actually thinking he had a chance against Floyd.
Wait they thought he was going to KO Floyd LOL
Khabib > Connor so I guess he’d be a better matchup for Floyd, but nobody in MMA can box with Floyd, hell nobody in boxing can
