In response to Tim Sylvia vs Ray Mercer.

How do you boxing extremists feel about a LW MMA champion beating a SHW Boxing champion? Just sayin. Seeing how Sylvia-Mercer is such a big deal or will double standards start running loose? :dunno: You mentioned Butterbean? Oh yeah, great fighter. I rate him just a notch below Ali.

did he maybe i am mixing him up with someone else my bad if i am wrong Yep, he KO'd the his opponent really bad.

Sylvia was ranked in the top 10 by MMA weekly when he lost to RayBean was never ranked in boxings top 10. Must suck to be an MMA fanboy right now.

Bad comparison i would have brought up briggs losing in k1. Briggs won in K-1..

How do you boxing extremists feel about a LW MMA champion beating a SHW Boxing champion? Just sayin. Seeing how Sylvia-Mercer is such a big deal or will double standards start running loose? :dunno: 1: Butterbean was not a champion. He fought 4 round fights. 2: Suko didn't beat Bean at boxing he submitted him in an MMA fight.

Sylvia was ranked in the top 10 by MMA weekly when he lost to Ray Are you guys nuts..?! Didn't everyone see when Bean stopped Johnny Knoxville on Jackass? He's clearly a legit pug. I admit these types of threads need to stop altogether soon but this one takes the cake for: FAIL.

I think it's sad everyone is using Mercer to prove their point when they really need someone who is the Boxing equivilant of Damian Maia to make it actually work. This whole Mercer ordeal is nothing more then silly McDojoist propaganda.

butterbean isnt even a real boxer is he ? since when was there a super heavyweight division? hahahha wtf? hahahahahhahahahahhahahahah he just grabbed his leg hahahahhahahaha that shit is gayyyy sylvia got knocked the **** out in 1 punch show that happen to a boxer by an mma guy AND RAY MERCER TOOK THE FIGHT ON 2 DAYS NOTICE

:gives: Seriously. Butterbean? You cool mothafukka Flicker, but damn, I'm surprised you made a thread about this homey. :dunno:

LOL so true!Awful comparison, you should never be aloud to compare anything ever again.

mercer beat sylvia in sylvia's own sport though. wouldn't a double standard be some mma guy beating klitschko in boxing. that butterbean fight was in mma plus butterbean sucks and was never champ or even ranked in the top 1000 since he only fought 4 rounders against local cab drivers and everyone watched and laughed cause he was such a fatass.

Stupid thread, Butterbean is to boxing what Kimbo Slice is to MMA. Slice beat Mercer easily. Still not proving much though... Must we have these threads...:lame:

You lost when you called Butterbean a Champion. He was a side show. A four round attraction.

Butterbean isn't a SHW champion. A 50 something your old Larry Holmes schooled Butterbean. I think we can agree that almost every current heavyweight we see on a major broadcast would trainwreck the Bean. Now to respond to the original topic, Slyvia was dumb and tried standing-up with a heavy handed boxer, and learned thatit's a poor idea quickly. If Slyvia tried taking Mercer down he in almost all cases would have won, but he didn't and embarrassed himself. The problem with most UFC/WEC/PRIDE/Affliction/Strikeforce fighters (I won't say MMA in general because I have only seen fights from those companies for all I know in other countries it may be different) is that there stand-up game is very poor compared to their ground game. Most of the UFC fights I have seen feature guys who wildly swing at each other like their at a bar fight while standing still. Even Joe Rogan commented on this during the UFC 98 card. For example that Lyoto Machida character makes himself look invinicble in the octogon by using solid footwork and headmovement. Watching an airhead like Slyvia get clocked by a washed out heavyweight doesn't prove much that we don't already know.

Lol, I dont follow super heavyweights. Hell I dont even follow heavyweights. Butterbean was all the rage a while back. Point is, he lost to a damn lightweight. Anyways, im just trying to prove a point. You cant judge all of MMA for Tim Sylvia's gay ass. Then again, I would expect the same from MMA fans if Anderson Silva beat RJJ in a boxing match. Then again, I would be trying to bring all the MMA fans back down to earth as well.

Is this a joke thread? Butterbean? Sylvia was champion in the world's biggest mma promotion. Butterbean never even challenged for one of the four paper titles.

you called Butterbean a champion :trink26: I don't think the Mercer win was a big deal either, Sylvia is just mailing it in these days
