Dan Goossen wants to make Toney vs Couture IN BOXING

[pistol whip]

Ugh why not have a boxer jump straight into a olyimpic level Greco Roman Match against a Greco roman wrestler? You know where the boxer cant punch at all! Im sure it would be competative!!!


Seriously ***ing Gossen is a moron for not being able to understand the diffrence between MMA which is a sport where 20 diffrent fighting styles are used in every single bout where boxing is a specialized fighting style set up for only actual boxers to succeed!

This is just downright dumb!

Toney is a boxer. Cotoure's a wrestler. mma is the middle ground. You wouldnt see toney agree to a full on wrestling match with no striking. Why in the world would you want to see a fighter who's had very little experience boxing and doesnt even use boxing to win his mma matches in a boxing ring???

That's what i said. The uninformed and closed minded actually agree with him though.

You're saying Toney isnt familiar with boxing at a distance and defending clinches??? You make it seem as if the fight starts on the ground which stacks the deck against Toney.

On the contrary...the fight starts at a standing position. A world where Toney is more than comfortable with and Couture is a fish out of water. A world where Ray mercer was able to knock out tim sylvia and idiot boxing fans were rejoicing in the supposed proof boxing > mma

yea, yea, yea... but if couture takes toney to the ground its pretty much over.

you missed the keyword. pitting an over the hill ufc fighter against an over the hill boxer wont prove much in reality though.

we all understand this, but most mma fans will not.

1. yeah...but fight starts in toneyland where he should be able to dominate if couture is unable to close the distance....so advantage toney.

2. neither would most boxing fans. Toney wins...you'll see nsb full of threads trashing ufc and how bad it sucks. Toney loses you'll see the excuses of how old and washed up Toney is completely ignoring the fact that Toney is atually 4 years younger than Couture.

only if couture wants to punch it out. if couture shoots on toney and he can't defend, it's pretty much over. it doesn't help that toney is a tub o lard.

toney is old and washed up. he has no business in MMA.

UFC does suck. but to each his own.

Couture is 47 and lost 2 of his last 4 fights, with his last fight coming against an even more washed up mark coleman.

I agree ufc does suck. But most people will fail to recognize that the ufc does not represent the sport of mma as a whole. and while their top athletes do get paid peanuts compared to top boxers the ufc does alot of good things for their bottom tier fighters which boxing largely ignores.

you vastly understatement the MMA fan.

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

Why not??


Toney is man enough to go to Coutoure's sport and fight him.


Randy should grow some balls to.

Because Toney begged for a fight.

Toney begged for Couture.

Toney begged for it to be Heavyweight

Couture didn't do any of these things. Couture even admitted he would fail.

Why even try when you know you'll just deliver a suckass performance?

Nothing chicken**** about knowing your limitations.
