Can Floyd still win?

Easy work. Khabib wouldn't beat McGregor boxing.

It doesn't matter if he beats him in boxing or not, it's 11 rounds boxing 1 round mma, the question is, if Khabib can survive 11 rounds without getting KOed and with beating the 10 seconds countdown if Floyd ever knocks him down, because Khabib would KO Floyd in the last 1 MMA round for sure.

No, khabib couldn't last 11 rounds and he'd never do it anyway.

So Floyd would definitely KO Khabib? And Khabib can't even beat 10 seconds countdown if he ever gets knock down?

Floyd would definitely outbox him, and tire him a lot, but I doubt he has the knockout power to do that to Khabib, Khabib is definitely going to fight defensively knowing that he will finish him in the last mma round, thus he won't care about hitting Floyd, he will just protect himself. Khabib took harder punches, punches without the gloves and he was completely fine, I just don't see a defensive fighter like Floyd is knocking him down with his power especially when Khabib won't care about scoring and he will fight defensively. Because he will easily KO Floyd in the last 1 mma round.

Novel idea. Of course Mayweather wouldn't bother because Khabib ain't half the draw that Conor was, but yeah Khabib wouldn't last 11 rounds with Floyd to make it to the MMA round.

Even if Khabib fights defensively?

I would also consider Floyd's age, he is not the same fighter that 10 years before.

Yep even if he's defensive. He's never boxed, and he'd be going up against the best boxer so far of the 21st century.

Floyd wouldn't agree to it anyway. The people wouldn't be particularly interested, and there's not enough money in it for him to bother.

Well I think Khabib has far better stamina than Conor, and a better chin (no one knockdown Khabib so far) and if they gave him enough preparation time, he can last 11 rounds against 43 years old Floyd. Floyd is a defensive counter puncher, he can never fight like De La Hoya or Pacman, Floyd will definitely outscore him with jabs, but I doubt Floyd has the speed at that age to KO an elite mma fighter who doesn't care about the score of the fight, Khabib will only care about not getting KOed.

If this was 10 years ago when it was Floyd's prime, then I would agree on that KO though.

As for the money, I think Floyd can find a way to get the attention of the whole Russia But I agree, it won't happen because Floyd would never agree to that 1 mma round

The 11 rounds boxing, 1 round MMA angle would sell the fight big time. Khabib is amazing and would have Floyd flapping and tapping in 30 seconds or less if the fight got to the 12th round. It wouldn't, though. Floyd would stop him early. Very early.

I really trust on Khabib's defense and his speed if he only focus on not getting KO'ed , if he handles Gaethje too I will be %100 sure that 43 years old Floyd can't KO him although Floyd would still take a wide UD but it wont matter because Khabib will easily win in the last mma round.

I need to see how he will deal with Gaethje.

I don't know how khabib fights at all with you buried on his nuts.

The thought never crossed my mind, so you were thinking things like these for the fighters all the time huh?

You don't know s**t about fighting kid, it's better to stfu, you didn't even know Gaethje wins his fights via leg kicks, and you think he is a boxer first

Khabib's Manager Says They Received Huge Offer To Box Mayweather

According to Ali Abdelaziz, manager of retired UFC superstar Khabib Nurmagomedov, his client was offered $100 million to have a boxing match with former division world champion Floyd Mayweather.

Abdelaziz indicates that UFC president Dana White was on board with the fight.

Mayweather retired from boxing in August of 2017, after stopping UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor in ten rounds at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Mayweather, 43-years-old, has since taken part in an exhibition fight in Japan, in December 2018, when he demolished kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in one round.

The 50-0 boxer is now scheduled to face Youtube star Logan Paul on February 20th, in an exhibition fight on pay-per-view.

Khabib retired last year from mixed martial arts and appears to have no plans to go back on that decision.

Abdelaziz explains that even for a tremendous amount of money, the fight is dangerous with Khabib having no professional boxing experience.

"Listen, we got offered $100 million to fight Floyd Mayweather. Dana White was on board, everybody was on board. But, you know, Khabib is an MMA fighter. If Floyd wanted to come to fight [in MMA], get his little ass whooped, no problem," Abdelaziz told TMZ.

Back in October, the 32-year-old Khabib (29-0) had discussed the numerous offers that came his way, from various countries, to fight Mayweather in a boxing match.

"Always, like every month people call me and they ask me, 'You going to fight with Floyd Mayweather if we pay you $100 million.' It's like crazy. I want to be focused on Justin Gaethje, please. Every month, some people from Saudi Arabia, from Emirates, from a lot of countries, like always try to make contract with me," Khabib told Yahoo Sports.

I hope they don't reward that terrorist sympathizing piece of shit with a $100 million dollar payday or any amount, that would simply be disgusting. Let the turd retire into anonymity.
