[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 1096225, member: 55747"] I get your point. Not that long ago i watched a video where Mendez (IM and Khabib's coach) talked a bit about their differences and he said that IM took stand-up coaching from everyone while Khabib, probably out of a sense of loyalty that JM says was not required, was only coached by him in that aspect. That shaped their styles. I get (and agree!) when people say that KN is amazing at avoiding damage while on his feet. Incredible stuff but again, as you mentioned, given his style not many go all in against him. So that leaves his stand-up offense. I see him move and strike, and i put IM both above CO and KN. Again, stand up offense alone. Let me put it this way, if the 3 were to box, i have little doubt IM beats both of them. I think we're reading this quite similarly. Most of the poeple CO has faced, when on top, are focused on not getting submitted. I believe IM will be focused on making damage. I guess if you talk to people from IM camp they will argue it's hard to work on a sub while getting elbowed ad nauseam on the face and if you ask people from the other camp they'll say that is precisely what will open opportunities for an elite bjjer to take adv of. We'll know the answer soon enough. [/QUOTE]
