Yes I also think Khabib is too dangerous for him.. he is one mad Mongol.. that is ONE dangerous fighter.

as far as Conor vs Floyd.. Mayweather wins if boxing rules.. Conor wins if MMA
Connor had problems at 170 against Diaz, who is very durable, has a great chin, very good on the ground and never gets tired.
I cant say other fighters in that division have these qualities.
Now I am not implying that Diaz is better than Woodley or other top contenders there, but he is very difficult to defeat for anybody.
As far as Connor vs Mayweather, I am not so sure about Mayweather wins with boxing rules.
I will say that I would put my money on Connor in a boxing match, if they allow them to use UFC small gloves.
Floyed has no punching power, hasn't knocked out anybody.
Connor on the other hand can knock anybody out if he lands a clean punch in this weight division.
As I said before, his timing and accuracy combined with his hand speed is as good as anyone in boxing or MMA history.
