Boxers that COULD compete in MMA

No he would get sub'd like a chump Tyson has gone on record and said he was amazed when he first saw top MMA fighters. He said he always thought he was the baddest mother fucker alive but wouldn't fuck with some of these guys. Tyson says a lot of shit, If he had a backgroun in Wrestling he'd be unstoppable.

Prime Tyson would KO all those MMA guys in under 10 seconds. No he would get sub'd like a chump Tyson has gone on record and said he was amazed when he first saw top MMA fighters. He said he always thought he was the baddest mother fucker alive but wouldn't fuck with some of these guys.

Anderson Silva throws straight shots but he is not exactly afraid of the takedown. He can handle himself on the ground too. He's a beautiful fighter.

You wont see a lot of straight shots in MMA because they dont train to throw straight shots. The have a varied stance (more squared up to the opponent). This prevents an MMA fighter from delivering a nice straight boxing punch. This more squared stance enables the MMA fighter to defend takedowns, kicks and against the same "wide" shots coming back at them.

Golden Johnson could prolly become the best UFC fighter in history. Only because he would be the B E S T at anything he decided to compete in!!!!

Marival Sobral Sobrinho could wreck everybody and he's the next great heavyweight champ. You heard it here first.

thing is, i dont think he would even have to take it to the mat in an MMA fight. From what I've seen of MMA, those guys dont throw straight rights, so when a straight right from cintron comes at them, they wont block it. Clean punches in MMA seem to be devestating cuz guys arent use to them. If it did go to the mat, cintron would be fine, but i just dont see it going there with his right hand.

Cro Cop wasn't a wrestler in the past either but because of his athleticism he could defend take downs very well, even against great wrestlers like Randleman and Coleman. He can't use his wrestling offensively at all but he concentrates all of his training on defending takedowns and striking.

I disagree with the person who said Lacy unless he turns out to have wrestling experience?, if strength and size is the reason he is being picked. I don't think he is near as strong as he looks. Not just strength, and how do u know how strong he is. That mofo is cock strong. He's got a large neck, big hands, dense thighs, and appears to have good ligament strength, these are all key contributers to having success in wrestling.

Mike Tyson baby. He'd crush those fools. Actually, ur right, Only if he knew how to wrestle, He's got the tools, Big neck, Tremendous leg strength (Lifting Power), Really large hands (Grip), Short limbs. He would have been awesome

Doesn't Sam Soliman have black belts in a number of martial arts.

vitali klitschko was a world kickboxing champ of some form, he would have gone well (as long as he didnt injure himself of course) Cintron with his wrestling background could fair well, any boxer that could learn to avoid/block a takedown will do well ala Liddell, chuck cannot wrestle real well and has basically no ground game but is pretty much as good as it gets at avoiding a takedown and keeping it on his feet where usually he has the advantage as most boxers would Chuck's was an excellent Division I College wrestler, he just chooses to stand because of his tremendous power.

Reggie Strickland. He'd be the ONE.....

I can tell you one thing, definately not Art Jimmerson.

Kermit Cintron but he would get subbed pretty quick he was a wrestler in high school, maybe not

mayorga it's like the perfect one

Cintron because of his wrestling background. Maybe Pacquiao.........he in my mind could be a nasty Thai style fighter if he put his mind to it. Of course fighting other little guys. He's in perfect Thai fight shape. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Kermit Cintron but he would get subbed pretty quick i'd believe that, theirs a big diff between Bjj, and freestyle wrestling

Cintron would make a good sprawl n' brawl fighter with his wrestling. Defend takedowns with his wrestling and knock people out standing up with his boxing skills and KO power. He would have problems with good muay thai fighter's though.
