The non-photographers might want to skip this article as it is a fairly detailed Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD vs Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens review for Sony E-mount cameras.
The Canon 300mm f/2.8 is ultra-sharp, better than most Canon lenses. As a very serious $7,000 lens, especially as one that Canon was using as a lure to get pro sports shooters to move over to Canon from Nikon, Canon pulled out all the stops. This L lens has a huge fluorite and another huge UD glass front element.
Was in the same boat. Had to choose betwee sigma sport, tammy g2 or canon is ii. I ended up saving for one more month and got the canon 70 -200 2.8 IS Mark III. I can say its my most used lens out there hands down. Sharp wide open. Fast and spot on focus. If i miss focus its because of me. Not because of the lens (paired mostly with my 7d mark ii)
Basically you need to track in the horizontal direction, but stabilize in the vertical direction -- that's what mode 2 does. This shot was taken with an EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM (original not the "II") using image stabilization mode 2. To get this shot, I slowed the shutter speed down to only 1/40th sec.

AF speed and accuracy can take a hit, too. But, your actual performance will also greatly depend on the camera body that you are using.

Thanks in advance.
Choosing between Lenses Canon 70-200 f2.8L IS II vs Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM 1 How does Canon 70-200 f/2.8 II compare with Canon 300mm f/2.8 II for image quality for weddings?
A 2x will expose the slightest flaws in the lens, and the MkI IS is the least sharp of all the 70-200/2.8s. Even with the very best lens (such as the 300/2.8L IS II) a 2x Extender has a detrimental effect on AF performance which is the last thing you want for wildlife.
