it should be old news to a lot...but for those that don't know...the best striker in MMA was a pro boxer at one time...well actually twice...he won one and lost one...

dude had only 2 pro boxing fights...his debut fight was in 1998 and he got KOd in round 1 and then didnt have another Pro Boxing Fight untill 2005....then he retired...

His opponent looks about 2-3 weight divisions smaller than him.

At least he has tried professional boxing. He was never one of those MMA guys who claimed his sport was better then Boxing. Sure he has 2 fights but you got to admit he looks pretty smooth in there, good footwork. Sure, he's fighting a nobody but Boxing aint his first discipline.

His 2 fights in in Pro Boxing are more then what 95% on these forums have. People have claimed him to be arguably the best MMA striker so they want to try and translate that to Boxing. There are definitely not many athletes out there as versatile as this man. Currently a UFC champion, has fights in both Pro Muay Thai and Boxing and competes in BJJ/Grappling tournaments.

He's not a great boxer but he isn't a horrible one either.

Hope he still faces Roy Jones. Just for the entertainment factor. He is an absolute beast in MMA. My goodness he's been my fav fighter since he whooped Chris Leben's ass(who I can't stand.).
