If there was one Boxer you would like to see try MMA it would be.........

N Valuev not sure if he would be any good , but sure would like to see it.
v Klitsko if he were 10 years younger

 

Miguel Cotto. Seeing him in there training with Miguel Torres and Kurt Pelligrino and looking likes he enjoying it makes me wanna see him try it someday.

 

Kermit Cintron - Knockout power, world class hands.... solid wrestling backround.

 

Pacman. that would be insane.

what are the weightclasses around 140?

 

Part of me says Floyd knowing that he's that arrogant to think that boxing alone will guarantee him success and I'd get the happy feeling of seeing him either choked unconscious or beatin' badly on his back...

But, if you're asking seriously, it'd be Pacquaio. World class athlete and he's not arrogant enough to think that boxing alone would be enough. He'd develop all the necessary skills to be competitive at the elite level.

 

Do you know of any first hand source(s) for his wrestling background?

I agree with that pick...

 

You forgot that he seems to have the mental strength of a 4 yr old child.

 

i would have liked to have seen a prime rjj

his athleticism and one punch KO power could have made things interesting

 

He was good enough in wrestling to be offered a full scholarship to Ohio State University... but a knee injury prevented him from going forth with his wrestling career, and he stuck with boxing full time after that. So... he clearly knows what it takes, and was obviously skilled enough to receive that offer. If he could refine his skills to just use defensive wrestling in order to stay on his feet... he could make things very interesting.

 

Tszyu had a lot of wrestling experience.

Just look at the first Mitchell fight.

Imagine him landing his right hand in 4 ounce UFC gloves!!!!!!

BOOM!

 

A little harder to jump over a cage rather than through the ropes.

 

"From the Dibella site I got this...."By the time he was a senior at William Tennant High School, he had earned full scholarship offers to Wisconsin University and Ohio State University. He declined both and instead attended Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in Lancaster, PA, where he finished tenth at the NJCAA Wrestling Championships."

Seems like his wrestling career continued after highschool....

I looked but couldn't find the brackets for the late 90's for JUCO college nationals.....don't know if there is a consolation match to determine 9th and 10 place....

 

I would pick Chagaev ( or Wlad as a second choice)
