Ray Mercer brutally KO'd a 2 time UFC HW Champ in 10 seconds

[Phenom]

James Toney had never been finished in over 70 pro boxing bouts.... but he didn't even make it out of the first round when he tried MMA.

Former p4p #1 boxer right here:

dude got on his knee's quick standing up kick boxing style most of the MMA won't make it against boxers

they aren't boxers, it's a mixed fighting sport, so if your opponent has glaring holes in his game (like no ground game) than you can use it against him.

[*Boss*]

Well Toney is lucky that Randy played it nice and just went for a choke, against a lot of other guys Toney would have been finished with punches.

Or something like this could have happened:



it could have been worse for him

Yeah , Couture could have fncked him up real bad if he really wanted too.

[TBear]

Too bad when Mercer fought Klitschko he was already in his 40's, would have been a good fight in his prime.

Boxer can easily make it in MMA, MMA can never make it in boxing

Boxers get paid millions
MMA champs get paid 150k

Boxing is a world wide sport
MMA only attracts american and canadian hicks

James Toney was/is literally the worst HW boxer you could put into MMA lol, I mean none of his skills translate at all, a 41 year old, fat feather fisted blown up MW fighting at HW, with a damaged pituitary gland which prevents him from producing testosterone thus making him fat, 0 footwork, one of the least mobile HW's in boxing, a stubborn guy that was fighting for just the paycheck and didn't take his MMA training seriously which he did for only a few months, a guy that relies on inside fighting meaning guys must be very close for him to hit etc. And then you pin him up against one of the best wrestlers of all time in MMA. ****ing horrible lmao.

Hotsoup you are severely off. Cutthroat, you are right. Tony is 5'9" at 230 pounds of fat, Coutoure is about 6'1" and in very good shape. Couture had all the physical advantages and was playing his own game. Dana White made that fight because it would make MMA look good vs boxing. It was a low risk fight for Coutoure, Toney does not even have much of a punchers chance at that weight. That fight meant absolutely nothing.

Lol at this statement. Do u know how many boxers actually make millions??? K9 bundrage and chris john are world champs and would be lucky to make half of what kimbo slice who was the mma equivalent of butterbean makes in a fight.

Ray Mercer was about the same age Vitali Klitschko is now when he fought Wlad.

[Sadistic]

Ray Mercer was about the same age Vitali Klitschko is now when he fought Wlad.

...and Mercer was coming off a 7 fight winning streak (7-0, 6 KOs) since the very close decision loss to Lennox Lewis. He was in great shape for the Wlad fight, weighed 228 lbs, 10 lbs lighter than he was for the Lennox fight when he weighed 238 lbs.

There are 30-40+ guys in boxing who are currently fighting who have made over 1mill in a fight. Theres like 2 or 3 in mma.
