    Double standards a great....
    http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75803

    I'm here to post the second half of that standard.

    Boxing fan's excuse: "he was too old , it was under mma rules , he cheated "

    or

    MMA fan's excuse: "he was too fat , he just was a grappler , not a striker , it was under boxing rules"

    You can pick your camp , but don't tell only one side of the story.

    Whatever. UFC still can't hold a candle to boxing.

    As a fan of both sports, I actually could care less about how MMA guys will do in boxing or how boxing guys will do in MMA. It's irrelevant to my enjoyment of either sport.

    To the author of this thread, Ray Mercer? He was done years ago. Former WBO champ and former gold olypian, come on. You just pumped him up and then threw him under a bus. He is not a good example. Boxers will always have balls to get in with anybody. Kimbo is a circus act. Throw him in with Valuev. An elite boxer will never risk his health to fight a MMA fighter due to all the money that can be made in boxing. Let MMA owners throw millions out at an elite fighter and maybe just maybe someone will bite, but I doubt it.

    Heresy!! To both sides.

    I love hearing the stories and debates rage when old boxers or mma fighters get caned when they move discipline, guaranteed to get posters in a ferver. MMA is better because of this guy, but wait Boxing is better because of this. Priceless stuff :bbb

    Kimbo compared to Mercer

    is not equivalent to

    Ricco compared to Can

    If Mercer would lose to one the biggest **** MMA fighters in a house show, then we can talk.

    You idiot ... Ray Mercer is in his mid 40's ... who gives a **** ... that not a fighter in his prime nor is a fighter 5 years past his prime ... its an old journeyman.

    That doesn't count ... lets see how Kimbo would do against a guy like ... Oliver McCall

    Because Ricco Rodriguez is in his prime you dumb **** ? He's an even worse shape at his age than Mercer is. And he's a mother ****ing grappler not a striker you ****. You're as much of a hypocrite as the guy who originally started the ricco thread.

    Did I just jump in a Delorean with Doc Brown and end up in 2007?

    Why the **** are we talking about Kimbo vs "The Artist Formerly Known As Ray Mercer"?

    Mercer was 46!! That is too old. No double standard here.

    You can't even compare the two...Mercer should of retired 10 years ago!
