Potential boxers have gone to the UFC.

But have these guys got the skill to make it as a boxer?

 

The only guys that I would have liked to have seen in boxing are Anderson Silva and GSP, cause they are the only ones with talent. The rest of them are semi-full time bums fighting bigger part-time bums.

 

No thanks these guys probably tried boxing and couldn't make it with those wide arm punches they throw.

 

I disagree with all listed except for Anderson Silva. If you have ever seen him fight, he is a pin point striker with excellent power. He does not throw arm punches like many supposed great boxers of today do (e.g. Joe C. Wales). He actually challenged RJJ to a boxing match and RJJ is considering it. He is an athletic 6'2" guy who fights at 185. He could make 175 no problem. Before thinking this is a joke and RJJ (my favorite all time fighter) would annihilate him, watch some of his fights such as Silva vs. Leben, Silva vs. Franklin I and II.

 

yeah he has a pro record of 1-1 or something and a KO loss.

 

Fedor Emelianenko will beat any boxer from the past or the present

 

Hughes?

 

Hughes is a born wrestler. He adapted some pretty competent striking out of necessity in MMA, but to say he ought to have been a boxer...? :blood

 

Boxing is a very limited form of fighting with a rigid rule set. It allows Hopkins to do what he did against JC. It would have been much better if JC could have thrown a knee in the clinch. Bunnyhop would think twice about clinching.:deal

 

Current Hopkins vs. current Couture in a special dirty boxing (not MMA rules) match.

GO!

 

Did you see AA vs Ayala? AA actually threw a knee because Ayala kept coming in low. No fan of AA but I though Ayalya deserved it.

 

Yeah right, his ass got rocked by Cro-Cop, a prime Tyson would of decapitated him.:yep
