    Still a little strange since he just made a big hoopla about signing Toney though, no?

    Well Brock would do no good in boxing, there 2 different sports, It is like saying Frank Mir would not do real well in profession soccer. Man how stupid is White, The man is losing control of MMA and people are starting to really sick of this idiot.

    Boxing is the hardest combat sport in the world, the talent pool is 30 times larger than MMA, it so much harder to become a star.

    Keep in mind that in an mma fight you have to defend against many more things than just punches. Submssions, knees, takedowns, leg and head kicks, AND punches. So I'm not quite sure about boxing being harder than mma.

    Definitely. Considering both are much younger, much better and much harder workers.

    it is just numbers of people in the sport, in boxing there is over 20 000 pros's out there, There a hell of a lot of people going for the prize, The big money of pro boxing.

    I don't know. MMA has the luxury of taking from all martial arts hence so many top Judoka's, Wrestlers etc are entering the game.

    I'm not a Dana White fan but he was asked a question, he didn't just bring it up out of nowhere. Strictly boxing fans are so ****ing sensative about the whole bull**** boxxing vs MMA debate. Get over it guys, its only a problem to dumbass fans, most of the MMA fighters are major boxing fans they have no animosity towards boxing. Its the fans that make it a debate.

    Why would either of them switch to MMA? The money they are making in boxing is so ridiculous, it makes UFC fights look like chump change.

    Exactly. Plus they're two different sports. And Brock Lesnar would get raped by Vitali Klitschko so hard it's not even funny.
