Sean Sherk Responds to Floyd Mayweather

[rocky_balboa23]

RandomSpeak.com sent along the following:

RandomSpeak.com: Floyd Mayweather, Jr. came out the last couple weeks completely bashing the UFC and stating that any boxer would demolish a UFC fighter in the cage. Dana White (UFC President) came back at Mayweather and named you as the guy who he'd put Mayweather up against, and that you would handle him no problem. What are your thoughts on the whole situation?

Sean Sherk: Well, you know honestly in a boxing match, of course he'd beat me in a boxing match. In an MMA fight, he would be in for a beating. I mean, he's not going to knock me out with one punch; I've got a hard head and have been boxing for 13 years so it's not like I don't know how to box. So, he'd have to land a lot of punches to stop me from taking him down, and me being one of the best wrestlers in the sport, there's no way he could stop me from taking him down.

I don't think that fight would last longer than a minute, to be honest with you. And I don't think he should be talking about something that he can't back up, because I'll fight him tomorrow. I literally would, if they called and asked me to fight Floyd Mayweather, Jr. tomorrow, it's done. He's not going to fight me though, and he's just running his mouth. I don't really respect that a whole lot.

There are boxers in here and I just want to hear your thoughts.

Mine are simple..sherk would take him down and GNP him. Mayweather dont know any ground game.

Of course Sherk would fight Floyd anytime and anywhere coz that would be his biggest payday..lol..Sherk is just a roid guy who doesnt know how to box..I beat this Sherk would get KOed by Darchinyan..=)

[TheNegation]

Why are mostly all of them white?

What does this have to do with anything?

I dont know bout Floyd getting killed in MMA..remember this Sherk guy was outboxed by Penn in an MMA cage..it's not that easy to take down ur opponent esp if ur opponent knows that ur gameplan is just to take him down..I say Floyd by KO or TKO in an MMA match

Yeah but BJ Penn has incredible Takedown defense. Your opponenet could know you plan to take him down but that doesn't mean you can stop the takedown if you don't know how to defend it in the first place. Floyd wouldn't make it out of round 1.

Wow you are dumb. Floyd is never the draw it's his opponents.

Stick to boxing *****bait. You don't know ****

It's true, take down defense is pretty much reaction time. I fouy roponent knows you are going for the take down, chances are you will have a bloody hard time. the fact that Floyd is so much faster only adds to it.

If I'm nuthugging than what is it exactly that you are doing? Ha Right.

You say UFC is for Rednecks, MMAgay, and saying that boxers have a high chance of winning an mma bout. You are the blind nuthugger, bro. I'm just stating the facts.

I've been watching boxing for a long time. Guys like RJJ, Pacquiao, Gamboa, Hopkins. I respect what they do, unlike you who thinks MMA fighters are talentless barbarians. But the thing is, in MMA their chances are slim. May I remind you that Kimbo frigging Slice choked out Ray Mercere in under a minute with one of the weakest guillotines I've ever seen.

May I also remind you that Ray Mercer was kicked in the head by Remy Bonjasky and he quit, the first strike thrown and he quit.

Two very different world my friend.




LOL. This isn't a boxing bout. Again Bobbing a weaving is rather useless, and when you factor in other things like Leg Kicks, Head kicks, and takedowns, it doesn't matter how good of a striker you are. One leg kick and mayweather would be limping around. His power, speed and footwork would severely diminish and a takedown would be pretty much effortless.




He won't have a chance to land a shot. Sherk shoots in fast and his takedowns are explosive. Sherk would dump mayweather on his head and pound his face into ground beef.

***** 4oz Gloves? Lol. Getting his with 4oz gloves isn't like getting hit with those pillow 12oz gloves. It's like getting hit bare knuckled and with how brittle mayweathers hands are, his hand would break after the first punch... if he could land it.

I'm sure if Mayweather was as confident in his chances as you are, he would have accepted the challenge made by Dana and Sherk. But he didn't because he knows his chances are slim to none.



Haha. I still do combat sports. I take submission grappling classes, and I've been doing Thai Boxing for the past 4 years, and wrestled through high school.

lmao, 50 year old Mercer, may I remind you that he just koed a former UFC champ, the fat bum tim Sylvia. May I remind you that Anderson Silva got his ass royally beat by an absolute nobody in the squared ring.

Let's put a 50 year old MMA fighter in with Pacquiao then

lol @ this Wanderlei Silva guy desparately defending MMGay. He's probably a high school student of Aryan decent. It's funny how all of your reply s always sound like Dana whites comments. "Weaving is useless in MMA" wrong, thats just what White said because MMA fighters suck at defensive maneuvers. If an MMa fighter throws a punch, weaving and countering would work just fine.

takedown defence is much more than just reaction time my friend.....

[Pecs]

It's true, take down defense is pretty much reaction time. I fouy roponent knows you are going for the take down, chances are you will have a bloody hard time. the fact that Floyd is so much faster only adds to it.

takedown defence is much more than just reaction time my friend.....

No doubt floyd is really really skilled in boxing... but if he fights a top MMA fighter in an MMA matchm Of cos the MMA fighter will avoid trying to box with him. And how will floyd react to leg kicks and take downs???? Anything can happen in a fight but the odds are against the pure boxer.

Wrong!

lmao, 50 year old Mercer, may I remind you that he just koed a former UFC champ
the fat bum tim Sylvia.

It's was his fault for trying to stand.

May I remind you that Anderson Silva got his ass royally beat by an absolute nobody in the squared ring.

What does this have to do with the discussion?

Let's put a 50 year old MMA fighter in with Pacquiao then

????WTF

lol @ this Wanderlei Silva guy desparately defending MMGay. He's probably a high school student of Aryan decent.

LOL. At this guy with over 3K some odd posts who everyone knows hates MMA, but yet continually seeks out MMA related threads to display his already known hate, and in the process displaying complete ignorance about the sport in general. Then when he gets owned in an argument, his only response is MMgay because his intelligence quotient is about the equivalent to my left testicle and is unable to come up with an opinion that actually makes sense enough to maintain a civil argument. You don't see me going into boxing discussion taking a **** on the sport of boxing but yet when I come to try to defend the sport you call me a nuthugger.


If you must know I graduated high school about 2 years ago and I'm of Russian, German and Italian Descent

[Spartacus Sully]

so are boxers not flexiable? would a boxer not be able to get out of a take down and back to boxing stance? does a boxer not have knees and elbows? and all that running/sprinting that we do would of course give us weak legs right?

I dont really think its a matter of boxing vs mma more so in this case it would be mayweather vs sherk and im pretty sure the person that trains harder and wants the win more is going to be the person who gets it.

I think if we want to look at this seriously were going to have to wait till the MMA Guys start training seriously...unless of course you feel cutting off 50% of your oxygen so you only have to train for 30 mins, serious training.

[bbos]

Am i reading right?? 4 oz gloves that cause more pain to be *****???
So 10 oz pillows to cover your face is very "MAN-like"???

u must not know anything about throwing punches, the heavier the glove the harder it is to throw, 4 oz gloves allows easier striking, i would rather fight in 4 oz gloves then 10 oz. ***ing ******.

mmgay fighters take the easier route to throw punches and get knock outs, lets see how many kos they get if they were forced to wear 10oz bricks u dumb ****

Lol. If you wore 4oz gloves (basically your fists). Would you try to duke it out for 12 rounds or would you try to end it in round 1?

MMA is a sprint. Its about explosiveness. The technical side of MMA is the ground game.

Boxing is a marathon. Its about endurance. You take punches and dish them out. Cause cumulative damage, chipping away at the marble before it finally shatters... aka ktfo.


Why is it so hard to like both? If your a fan of a good fight, you will like both. Freddie Roach likes MMA, Roy Jones Jr likes MMA, Mike Tyson likes MMA. These are professionals in the boxing world, people that boxers like you and everyone here look up to.
Why is it so hard to like both? Or at the very least, enjoy a good fight no matter where it is? K-1/muay thai, boxing, or mma.
