    Im rather sure, that Andre Berto at least knows the basics and some more.
    I'd assume it as well, but I'm wondering if he has legit experience himself in competitive tournaments or whatever cuz thats a whole other thing & would drastically alter my opinion about him making this move vs him just rolling around with his bro or dad or what have you in his spare time.

      How did Conor get embarrassed? He went ten rounds with the alleged TBE. If anything, it's an embarrassment for Floyd.

      I would say Algieri comes closest to having crossover skills given his kickboxing background. Ward is pretty good at wrestling and delivering elbows during fights, and I might nominate Porter who can probably learn to mix it up in the octagon.

        LOL good random guy to throw out there. The way Porter sticks to guys he's have probably been a great wrestler in HS & college. And might be able to pick that sorta discipline up quicker then most.
