    Vitali easily, better chin, bigger puncher, more experience & bigger man. Chuck was originally a wrestler though so that could make it interesting.

    Anderson Silva is one of the most, if not the most well rounded MMA fighters out there right now. So is BJ Penn & Georges St. Pierre.

    And then we have Fedor........................in a class by himself. :deal

    Agreed, for how big he his, he can still land combo's with excellent speed, it's just too bad he could only do it for the first couple rounds. I messaged him a couple months back on myspace, I asked him what he thought of Wlad and Sam Peter, since he made it pretty public his hate for both men. He said after meeting Wlad once he thought he was a *** and that Sam Peter is the worst Boxer to ever hold a belt at Heavyweight, after that I stopped messaging him for obvious reasons.:rofl

    I had a feeling Vitali would be your pick. I heard Vitali got knocked out once in a kick boxing match, any truth to that? If so, is there a youtube video up of it?

    I heard that too but I've never seen any evidence. Supposedly He was knocked out with a kick to head & the fighter's name was Pele Reid. According to the legend Vitali got revenge in an amateur boxing match.

    I wish they would teach MMA fighters how to throw a good, consistent
    jab and secondly to move their heads more when setting up punches.
    MMA fighters just don't, for the most part, learn even the basics
    of boxing. However, in terms of streetfighting I'd bet every time
    on the MMA trained fighter as EVERY single bar or street fight I have
    ever seen always seems to end up on the ground and that's where
    a trained Jujitsu player, even a drunk one, will kick ass with submissions. He'll naturally isolate an arm or especially a neck and
    finish his man in brutally painful fashion. They can do these moves in their sleep. A boxer, however, especially a heavyhanded one always
    has a punchers chance but once down is pretty useless.

    Boxin g got ills 4 certain. tyson is the poster CHILD:good His story is amazing to say the least. A reflection of how far the bounds of HUMANITY GO:yep Possibly the best to Dont wanna fight:-(

    Yet? The Sport lives on on the strength of that heart, desire, wll Tyson once had. I blame those DIVIDING THE GAME. The same ones who are "running the game." Look at the current business MODELS and WISE THE **** UP!!! You'll all make more in the LONG RUN with HALF THE EVENTUAL HEADACHES. Yet? Starting? Is often the hardest part in LIFE:-( :-( :-(

    Mayweather? The cat has played the MONEY GAME like NO OTHER. Good 4 HIM!! He's shown the kinda MONET AVAILABLE:yep Yet since you slot yourself #1?? There's more WORK TO DO!! If Thats a REALITY:cool:

    Now they need to groom amateurs Worlfd Wide and be more fair and SHARE THE PROFITS FAIRLY:scaredas: :scaredas: :scaredas: :scaredas: Right there? The dream likely ENDS:verysad :verysad :verysad Yet? When I look at the NFL? Th numbers Boxing puts up even mismanged? I say there's enough year round profit stream to really GROW THE GAME. In the end? Everyone wins.

    Why do I feel like I just put 10 on the Power Ball???

    But damn when I watch old fights? I see CROWDS!! I see a SPORT that is permanently INGRAINED from our NATURE:good Unfortunately the history is full of raped fighters. We'll just say from Louis to Tyson and let that be enough evidence. Though UNDOUBYEDLY? Many a sad song could be sung:hey :-(
