YAHOO: "Why Floyd shouldn't go into MMA"

[C'MONMANG']

K-1 actually.

oh.. i ways categorized them togther. what about Mercer fighting MMA getting choked out by a street fighter.

[Rudyo]

This MMA vs Boxing trend has been annoying.

It's like a snobbish rich boy with their noses in the air (boxing fans) against drunken frat boys (MMA fans)

People just need to realize they are two different sports and it takes different skills to suceed in either. Like Micheal Jordan who was probably the best basketball player of all time who could not do good in the minor leagues or like saying that just because Barry Bonds was a great baseball player he could beat MJ one on one. It's just a ******ed idea to compare the two.

How old was Mercer again?

He was in his 'prime' about 12 years ago.

Alot of the champions in MMA are great athletes.

Sherk, Penn, GSP, Gomi, Silva, Jackson, etc.

BUt once you get lower than that level, I cant even categorize those guys as athletes. Just toughman.

true, but the guy he was fighting wasnt prime, nor was he a top MMA guy ,,and he choked mercer out in like in 60 seconds. no boxer has stopped mercer that quick. old or not.

George St. Pierre >>>> Floyd Mayweather Jr. FACT! He would really **** Floyd's world up!

I hope so, Pierre weighs about thirty more pounds than Floyd, but in a boxing match Floyd still beats him badly. If you watched the countdown to UFC 79, Pierre was training with Joachim Alcine (154 champion) and Alcine, the much smaller guy, was saying "if he can go toe to toe with me, he can go against anybody". I think that shows the skill level difference when the guy 20 pounds smaller is complimenting the bigger guy for being able to go toe to toe. And which is more realistic? i dont know about yall but I've never seen no leg kicks in a street fight ha.

I found that funny.

But GSP is a great athlete and I firmly believe that he would at least be a good fighter.

At least on the level of Cintron who boxed late.

GSP is one of the best athletes MMA has ever seen.
