I like how idiots like you fail to remember that Mercer was 48, completely washed up as a boxer, and still knocked out the former UFC HW Champion who was only 33.
Silvia was wayyyyy out of his prime, and came into that fight almost 300 pounds. seriously, stop acting like Mercer beat a formidable MMA opponent.
But but but...Tyson ain't scared to get hit. You gotta be terrified of your life to be a good wrassler.
I love how mma tools LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE when a OLD boxer loses an mma bout, and scream it on a mountain that their sport is superior. But what mma tools forget is that, that OLD boxer didn't really give a **** and just needed some money, and you still get boxers ktfoing mma fighters. It's kind of ironic, mma is apparently the superior fighting sport, but it sure as **** isnt the superior sport to wanna watch when both people are on the ground hugging each other jockeying for position. Even ****in fans of mma say it gets pretty crappy to watch alot. It's even more funny that 90% of mma fights everyone watching desperately wants the fighters TO STAND A TRADE. Watch a boxing match if you wanna see fights stand a trade, Jesus Christ.
i dont claim mma is a superior fighting style to anything and im not a big fan of mma but im not a ****ing idiot, and i know boxers need to stick to boxing and away from an mma ring just like mma fighters need to stay out of boxing rings
Why? If someone has an ambition, they should try it out... Silva had an ambition to fight Roy Jones in a boxing ring, but Dana doesn't do freak shows... Then old ass Toney had an ambition to fight Couture in an MMA ring, but it didn't happen cuz Dana doesn't do freak shows... Oh wait...
I wont read this because it's bound to be bull****.... MMA is not boxing - boxing is not MMA. this thread is asking a ******ed question, it's asking who is better at ping pong, Roger Federer or the world ping Pong Champion..........
I think that Tyson has shown in boxing matches that he's very easy to get a hold of and clinch. ......if Tyson could'nt avoid the clinch in a boxing ring, how can anyone say he'd avoid getting taken down in an octagon. I believe much lesser MMA fighters than Velazquez would beat Tyson in an Octagon.
so. . . . if your point is that Dana protected one of his p4p fighters, and threw Toneys fat ass in for the slaughter then yea, your right blame Toney for making boxing look stupid. none of that has to do with the FACT that Tyson would get his ****ing ass whooped by Velasquez in a MMA bout
