Khamzat Chimaev — potential for 3 belts?

[Luffy]

Chimaev said he's focused on beating DDP, then defending his title some times... And he said he has always wished it and will go for it, that is, to become the 205 champion and later on, become the HW champion. He stated he trains hard everyday and that he has what it takes to accomplish the belt in those 3 divisions...

Is it possible?

From what I've researched, his ideal weight is around 200 lb... Like, maybe 205 lb. But anything above that like 210, 225, wouldn't be practical for his VO2 max and his endurance...

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Guy who got faceplanted by a LW thinks he can be LHW and HE champ

 

[Gabe]

At this point how about the potential for one?

 

[Aranha21]

If he could still make 170 he'd maybe have a chance

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

I think he will be 185 champ but 170 is unlikely due to the weight cutting issue and 205 I think he would be undersized

 

[Neck&Neck]

Triple pullout champ maybe

 

[witt1021]

even if khamzat could achieve this, it would take him 5 years just to get two belts while he waits around for fights in the middle east, never once being allowed to come into america.

I doubt he wins at 205. He's too small. And he's definitely not beating Ankalaev. I think Ank will be champ for a while.

1 word...STOP

 

[Natural Order]

Get a grip and lower your estrogen levels kindly, good sir.

 

[Söze Aldo]

He doesn't even have the potential to fight 3 times in a year.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

He'll be 50 by the time he fights for his first belt

 

[Thy]

at the rate he fights?

 

[Sycho Sid]

Short answer: No

Long answer:

 

[BigOlJeet]

TS’s delusions is why Khamzat has haters out there, this sounds like Conor 3 division champ BS all over again.

 

[Skarsgard]

Can we see if he has it in him to win and defend one belt first?

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Potential for None, should be your concern...

 

[podsox]

He fights once a year so that will be tough

 

[MRT]

No.

With Conor at 185+ nowdays and comeback in motion, Khamzat has no chance.
