    Ok, we had James Toney shoot off his mouth and get a MMA fight. I watched the what 1min 50 sec of the fight and laughed at Toney ( I even ordered it just for boxing vs MMA). If anyone from boxing can do a MMA match....I think it would be Vitali Klitschko. 6 time world kickboxing champ. Heavyweight boxing champ. I personally think Vitali could KO Brock Lesner with ease. Vitali is getting older, but, Kickboxing, boxing & jujitsu training that Vitali does have from his years of kickboxing would make him the only boxer I can see taking on the MMA and winning. What do think about this?

    Video Of Vitali Kickboxing!

    Yes. Jujitsu, Vitali has that as well. And Jujitsu is more than kickboxing. Look it up.

    Viatly could probably not throw a kick at this point because of his bad knees and back.

    Pac-man, he does muay thai. and vitali does have a good chance as well.
     
  7. I can't see his kickboxing skills being much use in MMA when the most important technique in that sport seems to be reenacting classic scenes from gay porn movies.

    it all depends on his groundgame... like all boxers he would be fantastic on his feet. The question is whether he has the skills to avoid the takedown or get back up. Just about every MMA fighter is good enough on the ground to submit a guy in seconds if he doesn't have a couple years of groundfighting behind him.

    I agree there. I think that is were Vitali's Jujitsu would come in. Vitali has had this training as well.
