    However the same can be said about the boxer in an MMA situation. Hilariously embarassing.

    Why not just take any popular MMA guy who's stand out style is boxing, and put him against a seriously gifted boxer. That would settle the debate on which strikers are better.
    I think Bernard would **** someone up before they have a chance off putting him on the ground.

      Chuck Liddell would be the perfect candidate. The dude is nothing but an overhyped barroom brawler and MMA fans think he's the most dangerous puncher on the planet. He's sloppy as hell and loves to stand up and strike. I'd love to see him have a brawl trading shots with Bernard Hopkins

          Bernard is a ****ing freak. Even at his advancing age his training never lightens up and he's always in the best physical condition I've ever seen a 40+ year old pull off. Logically, Hopkins can still be fighting competitively into his 50's.

          Plus his awkward roughhouse slick style would frustrate any non-boxer into submission mentally. His counter punches land with laserlike precision.

                  Tyson aint fighting in no MMA. He has been hooked on the drugs thing and i dont think he should be doing anymore fighting. And he wont. He must of made some money in Rocky 6 apperance. I dont know how much he got paid but he should try acting.

                    He actually should try acting, because he's not bad at it. I saw him in Crocodile Dundee 3 the other day (dont ask why) and his line delivery wasnt bad at all. His manerisms needed work, but thats not a big problem.

                    He should move beyond cameos like in Rocky and actually look to get a few low budget roles. Like he did in Black and White (where he actually got a bit of critical appraise).
