Do You Think A WWE Wrestler...

[Owlzfan84]

Brock Lesnar was able to do well in MMA with his size, his athleticism, and his extensive and successful amateur wrestling background.

Boxing is a completely different sport though. It is much more difficult to master then MMA, where their are less rules. Lets be honest its not exactly the most scientific fighting outthere. i mean your allowed to stomp on ppl's feet. If you reversed the roles with Lesnar and he was a successful amateur boxer....not saying he wouldnt win the world title, but it would be a lot more difficult. It would take him at least a few years to get to a legit title shot.

Your not making a fair comparison which makes you a dumbass.

Your basically saying; Bolt Husain cant break Michael Phelps swimming time record. Of course he ****ing cant, he doesn't swim.

OF COURSE WWE WRESTLER CANT, HE DOESN'T BOX!!!

So this isn't a fair comparison?

If Teo Stevenson, Felix Savon, and/or anybody else with more than the equivalent of the amateur credentials of Lesnar turned pro after a more than a 5 year layoff to wrestle in the WWE could they become heavyweight champion of the world in less than 2 years time training and fighting pro?

Until you can answer that question and provide a fair analysis to the question you aren't doing anything to prove your point. The poll says you're the one way off base.

I'm pretty sure The Rock would land a people's elbow against the Klits

What do you want to hear? WWE wrestler cant become a boxing champ? Think I already stated that. They wont become champion in less than 5 fights. Simple as that. Boxing is too damn hard for that.

Doesn't mean a Wrestler wont become champion in a sport that revolves around wrestling.

cmon people dont you remember when rocky took on thunderlips? of course a wrestler couldn't win. i also find it funny how instead of just asking the question you have to bury mma while doing. brocks a genetic freak of nature with unbelievable athleticism. he was a amazing wrestler(i mean real wrestler) and hes just a huge piece of mass so of course he will do well in mma. im not a huge mma fan but and please someone correct me if im wrong but i think brocks prolly one of the best wrestlers they have in the ufc. either way boxings still winning so quit doggin mma. if you don't like it don't watch it.

It's still not a fair comparison. Amateur boxing doesnt translate the same way to pro as amateur wrestling does to mma.

If an extensive amateur boxing background involved a decent amount of domination in 12rd fights then you're onto something.

you're comparing an amateur boxing background of 4rd fights with headgear which doesnt really mean **** in a world where the elite level competes in 12rd fights....to an amateur wrestling background where there are 9min matches...and wrestlers could have 5-6 matches in a tournament within a 4hr timespan. so the conditioning is already there for a 20min mma title fight.

Bart Gunn vs Butterbean. 'Nuff said.

Lesnar was much less of a WWE diva than he was a legit, elite amateur wrestler.
People who dont know anything about it like to blow it out of proportion, but its basically the equal to a Cuban fighter with ridiculous physical advantages beating an over the hill, smaller elite pro early in his career.
You guys have to understand the two sports work very differently. A guy who trained and competed at the top level in wrestling for 20 years is going to have an excellent shot in MMA, and when he is a freak like Lesnar and spends two years filling in the gaps, its not that hard to imagine how it happened.

So if an olympic gold medalist heavyweight boxer took 3 years off to earn mega bucks in WWE and then returned to boxing he couldn't win a world championship belt?

Sure he could, especially at Heavyweight.
