He won't do that fighting Kimbo Slice. But he could do quite well if he spends some time picking up the ground game.
Hasim will be hopless, i have no doubt that he will take time out of his lift to learn grappling, BJJ, wrestling, and submissions skills. He will believe that his standup is good enough .....whilst is true to some degree will still not prevent many opponents in MMA trying to take him down. His last fight against Vlad showed us all that not only is he way past it physically (soft, overweight, lacked sharness, conditioning) but that he is mentally shot aswell. He is mearly fighting for the paydays and nothing more...no pride or ego in wanting to be the best. If Vladimir himself were more confident in his chin, he could have and should have finished him in round 3.
Its pointless for us to take him seriously. Strong yes....but technique is needed aswell......we all know its for paydays. He was down to 224 for Holyfield......so this tells us that his actuall muscle weight with a below 12 per cent bf is this and without excess water weight. He continues to fight 25 pounds above his fighting weight........makes a mockery of the sport.
He's gonna get smashed up. I'll never know why boxers think they could succeed in MMA. If the fight goes to the ground they're ****ed.
I agree. If he does fight MMA or Slice he will be a nonfactor and get stopped quicky as Mercer did, meaning continued embarrassment for boxing. Rahman would not be flexible enough to compete in MMA. If he could hit his opponent he could when by KO and his opponent would know that. He would have to go into the fight with a street ffight mentality and he simply would not do that.
