Alistair Overeem declares Boxing as the king of combat sports.

I thought he wanted Vitali but now he's saying Wlad? I like the former better than the latter because, while Wlad should still handily pummel him under Marquess of Queensberry Rules, his disgraceful chin leaves similarly mush mandibled Overeem a slight chance to beat him.

 

The top MMA fighter will never earn the money the top boxer earns. Just the way things are.

 

If the best don't fight the best in boxing for much longer than I think that will change.

 

Keep dreaming son.

 

That's why I say that Wlad should by all means destroy him, just that the shaky chin will give kickboxing fans a better chance for laughs than if it were Vitali. It's not likely that either of them is actually going to give this guy a fight, however.

 

I'd fancy Overeem to win something like Prizefighter just because its a lower level of competition and he has the tournament experience, but he just doesn't have the stamina to fight a Klitschko.

 

Rephrase to say "The Top Boxers Make More Money and that is the definition of "King" which may be misinterpreted in the way that I originally put it"'

Or something like that.

 

Overeem is not wrong.

 

Is he and Haye related?

 

Boxers make a lot of money, fans get screwed.
Mixed martial artists are underpayed, fans get what they want. (mostly)

Two opposites, but both have their own problem obviously.

 

He has no chance in a boxing match, whilst his punching ability is pretty good for K-1/MMA, it's his knees that are his most potent weapon and he still has no head movement to shout home about.

Alistair is an intelligent, eloquent guy, but he should be looking to fight the winner of the Grand Prix and get himself in the UFC to fight JDS/Cain. All this talk of boxing is a waste of everyones time.
