[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 956526, member: 55747"] The reason i mentioned Askren was because he is the first one that came to mind when i thought "who would try to take down anything or anyone you put in front of him, no matter what?". Askren would. I wanted someone who is relentless and goes all in, no matter what the consequences. Bascially someone who has a shot at putting Khabib on his back. I dont doubt Khabib would destroy BA boxing, but stopping him from taking him down? I have to be honest, i have no clue. Khabib's defense could be just as good as his offense, but i haven't seen it. Khabib has always been on offense. Every single time. I think he's only lost a single round in his entire carreer and even that round is a close call imo. Other than a 1 off punch here and there he has exited pretty much every fight (reasonably) untouched. I was also thinking, who has a shot of landing on top if khabib tries to take him down. I also think Ben has a shot at that. I just want to see how khabib deals with pressure when he is on the receiving end. Let me be clear, my money's with Khabib. For two reasons. Firstly because of the stand up, and then because i think that, even if the chances of landing on top are 50/50 between the two, khabib is capable of inflicting much more damage than Askren once he is on top.
