i think the first world-class boxer (in his prime or very close to it) who trains a little bit of take down defense and/or wrestling, is going to do some big things in MMA. i mean were talking about 70% of the time theyre fighting standup anyways. most of my 'i used to like boxing' friends agree that a real in his prime boxer could do great. for what its worth, gsp said he'd never seen anyone with the hand AND footspeed of pac...boxers are VERY underated athletes IMO.

Not really man. That guy wasn't a champ anymore, in fact he was one of the worst champs in UFC history and got hit with that same pathetic overhand right in every single fight he'd had for the past 3yrs. Mercer lost to Kimbo Slice, don't forget. I'd love to see Pac as much as the next guy, but MMA is far beyond any boxer's ability these days.Comment

sorry but he'll get murked once he goes to the ground just like any other boxer, he would need minimum 3 years to work on his ground work before considering fighting any decent UFC opponent. Maybe if he fights a bum who thinks he can match Pac's stand up and boxing ability. Yes I'm 10 too.Comment

Aren't you the same guy who said Pacquiao looked bigger than Margarito at the weigh in?
If a boxer in top shape like Pacquiao, who is a freakish athlete gets some take down defense, dude would be a problem for everyone.Comment
