Dont You Think Tua would represent boxing better in the MMA?

:good

 

How a baseball player could represent baseball in a football game?

 

The size of someones legs etc has nothing to do with how easy it is to be taken down you ****ing twit.

 

Tua can't even compete in boxing now they want him to cross over.:rofl

 

No you have to have years and years of MMA training to be able to compete in the UFC.

To have success in the ufc you must either be a
Wrestler
know Jiujitsu
other submission style

You can't just be a boxer and be successful in the ufc. If toney had some wrestling background then he would have done better.

 

having big legs doesn't change much....Ex: Watch Jerome LeBanner under mma rules...Keep in mind , LeBanner is a 265 lbs HW kickboxer...(in other words his legs are pretty ****ing big...and he obviously uses them a lot more in combat than a boxer)

this is lebanner vs akiyama...(akiyama is not a hw btw..) but that didn't stop him from getting JLB where he wanted... Still , Jerome managed to win in the end...

So like Lebanner...Tua would have a puncher's chance... But he'd first have to avoid the takedown.

 

I knew Tony was going to lose, he has 0 footwork in the ring and in the octagon. Do I think he would have done better with more training? In his younger years yes, but at this point no; I don't even see him making a mark in boxing at this point

 

I disagree, there are plenty of successful strikers especially back in Pride. I do agree though that you can't walk into MMA only knowing 1 thing, but you CAN go into the octagon specializing in 1 technique like boxing, but training and understanding ground technique and do major damage

 

He wouldnt be anything close to Mark Hunt. Although the thought of Tua in 4oz gloves is a VERY scary thought.

 

yes i agree he would do way better than james toney there is no doubt in my mind

i still think he would get the shyte kicked out of him and wouldnt be confident it would get into the second round
