    I doubt he would do that to any of the HW in the UFC. Would love to see him try though.

    Don't you like that?
    When something goes against what would have been the expected some dunce replies simply to invalidate with "this proves nothing".

    What does prove something? Things that already fit nicely into what you would have supposed should have happened?

    Just reading through Ray Mercer's wikipedia page:

    "Mercer opted to travel to Japan and challenged Musashi in the kickboxing combat sport K-1 on June 6, 2004. He was knocked down in the first round and went on to lose via unanimous decision. On March 19, 2005, he had one more K-1 bout against Remy Bonjasky, to whom he lost via KO after being caught with a single high kick in the beginning of the first round. That was Bonjaskys only kick in the fight, and he didnt punch even once. As Mercer put it, "I got the **** kicked out of me".

    On March 21, 2007, Cage Fury announced that Mercer had signed to face underground street fighter and Internet legend Kimbo Slice at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall on June 23, 2007 as part of Cage Fury Fighting Championship 5. The bout was a sanctioned exhibition under the New Jersey Unified MMA rules. Kimbo Slice won the fight in the first round with a guillotine choke submission. Mercer later stated in the press conference at Adrenaline III: Bragging Rights when he was scheduled to fight Tim Sylvia under MMA rules instead of Boxing rules that he had expected Kimbo Slice to box with him and said that he did not really train in any other aspect of MMA and was unprepared for the guillotine choke."​
    By the way, I should state that I'm a fan of boxing.
