Sean Sherk Responds to Floyd Mayweather

[Rnizio1]

pecs- I see your point. But Basketball shoes are distinguished. They are not the same as skateboarding shoes or running shoes the only thing they have in common is you wear them on your feet. A T-Shirt will be the same as any other T-shirt the only difference is the logo/design. That's like comparing a red honda civic to a black honda civic. They are the same just different colours/designs.

For the shoes on the other hand that's like comparing a Toyota Tundra to a Honda civic.They are a different shape and have different uses but they can still be the same colour.

who is more of a coward, a man that fights with a gun or a man that fights with a knife?

and again as stated even a 12 year old wearing 4oz mmgay gloves can hurt someone, that says something doesn't it??

the 4oz gloves requires less hand speed, less power, and less skill to produce the same effect of what a boxer can produce while wearing 8oz 10ozs,

Im not saying mmgay gloves are ABSOLUTE *****, its just relative ***** in comparison to boxers' 8oz 10oz gloves.

have u ever sparred in 16oz gloves? probly not but I have and I along with any boxer on here can verify that the 16oz are heavy gloves that slow you down and take away your speed and power, now apply the same logic : 16oz are to 8oz as 8 oz to 4 oz, if you still cant accept the fact that mmgay ***** 4oz gloves then your are either incredibly ****** or ignorant.

MMGAY is only popular in the states with the young noob generation that likes to go to bars, drink, and watch some noob get koed. Boxing is far more professional than that.

MMGAY sucks

******s, tapout, rednecks, wannabes, douchbags...they all fall under the MMAgay fanbase.

MMA is a better sport but the paydays are still too small to attract the best fighters.

[d_lyrik803]

mma is kool and all but the fans are more idiots than boxing fans. and boxing fans are pretty ridiculous at times too. if i'd had to pick, an MMA fighter would really have to rely on taking a boxer down to win. standing up will be too much of a risk. going from 16 oz to a 12 oz gloves to a boxer is a big difference when it comes down to hand speed, i cant imagine how big of a difference going down to 4. and the boxer should really learn how to sprawl before he gets into the cage/ring with someone with years of experience taking down fighters.

[We want Floyd]

Floyd has more than a puncher's chance against Sherk. Sherk couldn't get past BJ Penn's jab, which alone busted Sherk's face up. How the hell is that cheater gonna get past Floyd's jab?????

I mean, BJ Penn hardly had to resort to any type of sprawling, he basically kept pot shottin' him with his jab, lol.

Sherk showed alot of respect for BJ's boxing ability and he's talkin' about taking on a master boxer in Floyd, gimme a break.

BJ Penn did two things the whole night before making Sherk eat a knee, his distance and timing was in sync that night, Floyd is the master of distance and timing.

Wrestling is no different from boxing in that, you have to have the right distance and perfect timing to shoot for a take down, but, we're talkin' about wrestling distance here, Sherk would have to fight from a boxer's distance and he has shown time and time again that he does not have jab to save his life.

In the end though, I still pick Sherk to win this mythical matchup, but, it ain't gonna be as easy as most of you MMA heads think it will be if Sherk wins. BJ Penn showed what a lil boxing does to those wrestlers.

I'm sorry to disappoint you all but it takes a lot more than just "a little MMA training" to become an elite athlete in MMA. The reason why it's so much easier for top tier wrestlers and Submission fighters to do well is that the ground game is a much bigger deciding fctor. Not to mention if you have 1 pure grappler vs. 1 pure striker the grappler will most likely be able to get that takedown. In MMA a fighter cna get through with decent striking and a good ground game, but a fighter can't get by with a great stand up game and an average ground game. MMA is no easier to become great at, a top tier boxer would have a hard ass time becoming good in MMA and the same vice versa. You gotta change the stance, the way you throw, everything. Step in with a jab and you'll eat a leg kick. If you're turned sideways you'll EASILY get taken down or eat more kicks. Just doesn't work as easy as some people think. Tough sport with athletes who are jsut as good as in boxing. Which most of you understand, but some are still insecure about another combat sport coming in.

BJ Penn is also an excellent grappler with VERY good takedown defense...that's what makes and always has made the difference between BJ Penn and his opponents, BJ also knows how to kickbox. And if you wanna argue that, GSP tooled BJ with his wrestling so, GSP shows what good wrestling does to boxing.

lol yea but GSP was much bigger than BJ penn, and as far as boxing goes bj still isnt that great, GSP is probably better than him.

[Pecs]

Sean Shrek is borderline on the A-list of fighters in that weight right now. But if you put GSP vs Mayweather in an MMA match, most people would bet a fortune on GSP as long he fights smartly. GSP is argurably the best all round fighter in the world today.....

Umm, you missed the part where GSP had to actually strike his way in against BJ. GSP is an exception to the rule, he's actually a stand-up fighter first, ground guy second, even though he does pretty d*mn good with both aspects.

Unlike many wrestlers in MMA, GSP understands striking, the rest f**kin' don't.
