    They should put James toney versus Kimbo Slice. If Dana wants the money then I promise this fight will fill that hunger.

    I love how people forget former UFC heavyweight champ Tim Sylvia got KTFO in 8 seconds by an old man boxer.

    In all honesty, I think Toney will get eaten alive against a top UFC hw. Even though he's not known to be a puncher, I think he could still KO some of those guys with 6 oz gloves, but if it goes to the ground, it will be over quick.

    This is going to entertaining. I ordered Showtime for one month just to watch Hershel Walker's Strkeforce fight and I just might order the first pay per view with Toney. For the purist this might seem trite but for the casual fan who craves pure entertainment this is not to be missed.

    Half of MMA fighters stand up 90% of the time and box. I really do not like MMA but I would be interested to see how toney makes out . . . I think he is the ****!

    Lesnar was also a legit collegiate wrestler, and a freaky huge, and good one at that.

    Just that Wrestling translates better to UFC than boxing does.. The thing is, in reality the UFC's rules are more tailored to wrestlers and other forms of ground fighting, in part because that's what they want, and in part because it is safer for the fighters according to the athletic commission.

    Wrestlers don't have to worry about getting stuffed, and having their skulls cracked by a few quick knees to the noggin.

    Your post is so filled with personal bias and ignorance that it's ridiculous. First of all - Joe Rogan is a boxing fan and one of his favorite boxers is James Toney. The only people that ever talk about the so-called "boxing vs MMA fued" are ignorant boxing fans that feel threatened by the presence of another fighting sport in the world.

    It is possible to enjoy both MMA and boxing without detracting from either. The times are changing so either get on board or go put your head back in your hole in the ground.

    Even a washed up fat boxer has a good shot. I seriously doubt he will beat by striking. Even kicking will probably not work very well, I dont think anyone in UFC has the speed and footwork to kick at a skilled boxer. When you lift your foot up to kick and you stay in place, it is as if you are anchored to the floor leaving you vulnerable to the KO power he surely has.

    someone gets grappling with him it will be a different story.

    you are right in a lot of the things you say, and I like what you are getting at for the most part, but I am sick of mma constantly using this excuse of Joe rogan and dana white being "boxing fans" which somehow gives them credibility which they in turn use to say mma is better. Its seriously annoying and very illogical.

    Haha. Very funny. As long as I can put Sugar Shane back up before the Mayweather fight I'll be happy.

    signing a 40 year old overweight james toney to a ufc contract humilates the ufc, not boxing.
