What would it take for a boxer to beat an MMA fighter

How do you mean?

I've done Judo and it's a very upright stance compared to Boxing, and certainly Wrestling.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

So true - all it takes is one shot to destroy these posers.:yep

 

A WWE play fighter went into MMA and became UFC heavyweight champion of the Word after 3 fights. That says it all really.

 

Exactly. If you were in an edge-on, foot forward boxing-type stance you have skewed your body so that one arm is effectively shorter than the other. Most of the techniques I did required a two-handed grab on the opponent. That's why the stance is more upright and square to the opponent.

 

Lesnar had legitimate, ACTUAL wrestling background. That said, Velasquez kicking his bottom was quite satisfying.

 

Which he did in high school and college. Imagine a WWE entertainer who had done amatuer boxing in his teens and then at the age of 30 decided to give pro boxing a go and becaMe heavyweight champion of the world within just one year and four fights. Wouldn't happen and that's in the heavyweight division which is terrible. Just shows the huge gulf in class between boxing and MMA.

 

Get the **** out of here. Ray Mercer was submitted by Kimbo Slice. An Olympic Gold Medalist, professional WBO champion, and professional legitimate title contender boxer was beaten by a man that beat up several bums on camera when he entered an MMA fight.

Since 1993 the world has known grappling to be the superior form of one on one combat. The number of examples are irrefutable. Lesnar was a NCAA wrestling champion with a record of 106-5. Not to mention being an athletic freak, near 280 lbs, with a 4.7 forty. He would not have been able to win a boxing title but he would've fuucked any boxing heavyweight up in a real fight. He could do that today.

 

Weird you'd use Kimbo Slice for beating a 50 year old, shot and broke Ray Mercer by Guillotine Choke to make your point. Also to point out, Mercer became the WBO belt holder in 1991.. the WBO belt was the equivalent of the WBU belt back then.. atsch:rofl

The same Kimbo beat up, knocked out and embarrassed legitimate MMA HOF and ATG Ken Shamrock in his own sport.. atschatsch:rofl

Also, glass chinned Lesnar folded like a lawn chair as soon as Overoideem hit him in the face. I can't imagine what a pro boxer would do to him in a street fight, which last a couple of seconds with punches being the deciding factor.

Lesnar dominated at natonal level from a young age in one of the hardest wrestling leagues - you cannot ask for a better base for fighting ability. :deal

I doubt you could match his legitimate athletic record in your lifetime.

 

Shamrock is about as old as Yoda.

Can't have it both ways especially in the same post.:deal

 

Lesnar hadn't wrestled since he was a kid and was a 30 year-old, WWE play fighter who only decided to give MMA a go after he failed to make it in the NFL. You can spin it all you like, but him becoming UFC heavyweight champion in just 4 fights shows up the low talent level in MMA.

 

Lesnar was a two time state wrestling champion in high school and would've competed in 50-100 times. Add 111 NCAA wrestling matches after that. Lesnar was the NCAA campion in 2000, around 23 years old.

Lesnar officially began training for MMA in April of 2006 at 28 years of age. 14 months of training went by before he made his MMA debut a month shy of his 30th birthday. It wasn't until February of the following year, after nearly 2 years of MMA training, that he made his UFC debut. By the way, Lesnar lost his first UFC fight via 1st round submission.

Lesnar became champion in November of 2008, over 2 1/2 years after his initial announcement of joining the sport. He won the title against a 45 year old, 45 lb lighter opponent, that had been inactive for over a year in a bout that was far from being one sided. Lesnar wouldn't solidify his title until he defeated Mir in July of 2009. Mir had previously defeated the interim champion.

Lesnar eventually retired with a 5-3 record and was finished inside the distance all 3 times. 2 of those losses came to significantly smaller oppenents.

Lesnar, who is far from being the best MMA heavyweight ever, beat a 45 year old to win his title. A 45 year old that has never been considered MMA's best heavyweight. Boxing's greatest heavyweight lost to Leon Spinks who was only 8-0-1 at the time. Ali was only 36 then. Suck on that.

 

Cool story bro - pity it's bullsheet.

 

You MMA fan boys will lap up anything. Next you'll be telling me that Lesnar was all natural toolol:

 

You were originally arguing how easy winning the UFC belt was. Saying Lesnar had to cheat to become champion doesn't help your argument. You really are bad at this.
