Top Boxing Heavyweight vs. Top MMA Hevyweight

[hectari]

I was not hoping to get replies from guys who just jump without paying attention to posts and here's one. I recognized that Vitali Klitschko would be in a disadvantage if the fight was MMA. I also stated that it could have been a kickboxing match because Vitali was a kickboxing champion, in case you did not know.

^yes I know he was a kickboxing champ I have a couple of his videos and they are really boring he was really skinny too and wore pants.

Like i said did you not see him against tim silvia (6'8). If my memory serves me correctly, which it does he knocked him ******.
And if you wanna give them the ufc rules that you were implying (kicks) you would have to be crazy to think klitshko could even compete.

I think that if Vitali kept practicing his kicks, he should still have the ability, so a kickboxing match against Arlovski sounds very interesting. It would make lots of money, that's for sure.

About the Arlovski-Sylvia fight, Arlovski knocked Tym down and then submitted him with an ankle lock.

Guys, would you like to see this kind of match? A match between Vitali Klitschko and one of the top MMA heavyweights in the world?
Those who watch both boxing and MMA(like I do) should know that the best heavyweights that Pride has to offer are Fedor Emelianenko and Mirko Filipovic. UFC offers Frank Mir and Andrei Arlovski(who fights tonight at UFC 53). This match could even be MMA since Vitali is an accomplished kickboxer, but then again I doubt that Klitschko has any ground skills, making the fight a mismatch if it goes to the ground. I expect to get some replies from serious fans who know about MMA too. Not haters who only watch boxing and diss MMA without having any knowledge. This kind of event would be good to determine who is the best fighter on the planet. There are always arguments, but events like this could put an end to certain doubts.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this at the beginning of the thread, my apologies for skipping through all of the above said..

But just wanted to mention that:
NO BOXER CAN STAND A CHANCE AGAINST A PROFESSIONAL MMA FIGHTER!
A Boxer will be taken down immediately and EASILY outworked to a submission
That Jab, Jab, Jab bull**** won't work.

I believe that Vitali is a converted Kick Boxer..
And the only way he stands a chance is only in a K1 competition (Stand Up Rules Only, no take downs)

As the thread went on, I went more for a kickboxing match instead of MMA. I talk about Arlovski vs. Vitali.

Thanks for the briefing..
I'm still crushed with the loss and not in the mood for much of the reading.

K1 rules, VitKo stands a huge chance.

If you don't like the topic you don't have to reply just for the sake of it. Several posters have replied with some knowledge about both MMA and boxing, so your reply seems out of place. Besides, not all discussions have to be about the same thing everytime.

Well we'll get a closest thing to it soon when Matt Skelton fights Danny Williams. Williams should win because it is boxing rules.

I think this topic is a little silly. It does not matter what weight as long as the fighters are the same weight, the result would usually be the same. If it is mma guy vs. boxer in an mma rules match, the mma guy USUALLY wins. If the it is a boxing match, the boxer USUALLY wins. There would be very few exceptions to this.

Was there any doubt in anybody's mind that Remy Bonjasky (sp?) would MURDER Ray Mercer? Sure, he was giving up probably 60 pounds, but Mercer was ~41 and Bonjasky looked to be around 27-28 and VERY athletic. And he's one of those kickboxers that can actually kick. I expected nothing less than what happened. Actually I thought it could've been worse. Mercer is lucky he wasn't really seriously hurt.

Have Bonjasky have a rematch with Mercer in the boxing ring, Mercer would struggle beating him just because of Bonjasky's athleticism, but his odds of winning would be ten times greater. Mercer knows how to defend himself against punches, especially the awkward punches Bonjasky would be throwing, not being used to boxing.

No way would that guy make Mercer struggle in a boxing match. Mercer would KO any of those guys in a few rounds with boxing rules. They would all be fish out of water, even if they had Muhammad Ali's athleticism. Without the skills (or an iron chin as a plan B) you will sink in boxing. It doesn't matter how athletic you are if you don't have the training and the skills. Otherwise the HW champion would always be a track and field gold medalist or gymnast.
