    Smoky is right on.

    Floyd will NEVER agree to this. Imagine seeing floyd being pinned to the ground and brutally beaten with elbows....wow!

    The MMA dudes haven't trained their whole lives in jiu-jitsu and martial arts. You act like Sherk spent his childhood living at a dojo in Thailand or something. I don't know about Sherk, but face it most guys maybe took wrestling in high school or something like that, then decided to train in MMA. Some are Olympic wrestlers, and some world class jui-jitsu guys, but most got their skills from training hard in an MMA gym.

    I also didn't say he only needed "a few weeks" of training. I clearly said "with serious training".

    Eltorrente- You are right...but those guys DID train extensively in wrestling. That is something that floyd has never done.

    Don't kid yourself, if floyd got in there with anyone worth a damn in MMA he would be either brutally beaten, have his arm broken, or get the purple face.

    As for what I know? I fought amateur, wrestled, played football, have several friends with over 80 amateur fights, been around and trained around PRO Champions, as well as various trainers, gyms, and fighters. I have a history around sites an a very high prediction percentage.
    It all adds up to enough to KNOW that you dont know a whole hell of a lot:nono

    Yes, Floyd MOCKS the history of Champions!! How many times do I have o school you on the STANDARDS AND DIVISIONS? By todays version SRR could have been 7 weight champion with a possible 42 belts.

    How about SRL who went 14-1 with 10 Ko's from 79-81 including Benitez, Duran twice, and Hearns?

    Dont worry floyd, Daddy beat you, but Suga beat Daddy:D

    As for Floyd and MMA its a knife in the back of the sport that made him and he's supposed to be a great future Boxing promoter? :lol:

    As for profit? DLH and Hatton had more fans, Floyd's THE CHAMPION, that's why he sells. 80% or better cant stand Floyd and boxings been here before and will be here after floyd is gone!!

    I havent post here in a long time, but I have kinda keep up with the site abit.

    Floyd isnt going to fight in any MMA fights, My guess is that he and Cuban have gone into business together on this thing, and what better way to get your upstart some press??? By saying that the biggest name in boxing is going to join up...Look for floyd to be heading up this cuban lead mma venture. But not by fighting.

    Mayweather is too small to compete at any MMA weight except featherweight, and few people care about featherweights in MMA.

    Floyd's boxing style isn't the best suited style for MMA, and there can be almost no doubt about that. Floyd is obviously a very talented athlete, but I can't see him competing at a world class level in MMA. Boxing is too small of a factor. As a 30 year old, it is too late to start the sort of grappling training necessary to compete at an elite level.

    That's dumb and you know it. Sherk is a disgrace because he took roids, this much is true. But so did James Toney and Tommy Morrison and a bunch of boxers.

    Every major sport has its steroid controversies.

    I didnt say that MMA really needs Floyd, MMA is obviously doing quite well in North America right now, and will continue to do well with or without floyd. I just said mma needs floyd more than floyd needs mma, and I believe that. Why would Floyd need MMA? He probably made more money this year than the Top 10 highest paid mma athletes combined. He is p4p #1 in boxing, the biggest star in the sport. There is still at least 1 or 2 lucrative fights (far more lucrative than any MMA fight) in boxing for him, before retiring. He has no background in wrestling, muay thai, jiu jitsu. Whats the point of him going to MMA? whats he going to accomplish? Beat up a can, or fight a guy like roidhead Sherk and get laid on for a few rounds or stopped via ground n pound? What does he have to gain from that? Im sure Dana White would love to sign Floyd if Floyd was interested, and he would probably be more than happy to give Floyd more cash than anyone in the UFC, but why would Floyd want to sign with UFC or any MMA org for that matter? Nothing to gain from it.

    To do MMA all you have to do is have been in a few street fights the only difference is you train to street fight...different ways to choke people...different ways to kick people...really doesn't take any skill if you were kicking hard in the street you'll kick hard in the octagon you dominate in MMA by sure luck not skill

    Boxing is the developement of hand skill....skill

    MMA is street fighting on the grandest stage that's it that's all and its ****ing boring and borderline gay especially when you got 2 guys just hugging each other all night **** outta here!!!!

    Bad decision Floyd your a boxer beat Cotto go out as one of the greatest of all time spend your guap and chill

    Lmao your still a dumbass moron c money. I was a 4 sport standout in high school you were some schmuck that got dropped in amatuers in boxing and has the audacity to claim Floyd Mayweather doesnt have an inside game. Look im seriously laughing at your dumbass :lol: :lol: :lol: No inside game? Did you even watch that Hatton fight or is your poor ass to broke to order it?

    Listen, Sugar Ray fought scrubs, mostly white ******s that were pulled off the street, Floyd would have slaughtered all of them just as easy if not easier. Its a different world of boxing, scrubs dont get shots at titles, even with all the divisions, you still have to beat SOME comp to claim a title, hell even Calzaghe had to beat somebody.Your just a dumbass you seriously think the 50's had fighters as good as today lol? You really think those bums would last today? Do you know what Floyd would do to Lamotta, do you think Lamotta would catch Floyd with a leaping left like he did Sugar Ray? Check hook, jaw, hit the canvas everytime.

    Floyd has won 6 belts 5 weight classes, he beat the top champ in every weight class BUT 154, and OScar was still WBC champ. Your a fool. Stop using smilies and silly ass pictures and actually give a hint like you know anything about boxing.

    What happens when Floyd inevitably beats Cotto lol. Do you really think Cotto has a chance? Deep down you know you dont. You know it, just admit it, your just mad you hate the best fighter in the last 20 years. Its like hating the Patriots or the Red Sox, sucks dont it?
    \

    Floyd sells tickets PERIOD. Top money maker this year, eveyrone wants to see him lose, you know dumbass haters like you. Aint never gonna happen, spend your hard earned money to watch him win and go home cryign lol. 4.5 million PPV buys biatch. 200 mil in revenue biatch. What you gotta say?
