Ex-Boxing Champ Loses Benz on a Superbowl Bet...

Fucking hell, I have a headache and this just made me laugh out loud, making it worse. Congrats and damn you.

:finger:

 

It's a breed of dog, sly.

 

How right they are, but we're here with you so don't feel completely embarrassed. :scared2:

 

What? They named entire Counties in England after you ::

 

The dog is named after the County.

And the County is named after Sly.

And Sly is named after some gay people that got married when they thought nobody was looking.hno::shadow:

 

and it's a fine name at that

 

Course it is. Course it is. :clapagain: Tanx.

 

All Celt names are good names, preserves our heritage, innit?

except for Proinsias, that is a pretty terrible name

 

Gatti has the coolest name on here.

 

Arturo? I've heard that somewhere before.

 

So the biggest star in the UFC, who was already a star BEFORE he entered UFC, is roughly comparable to a mid-level beltholder in boxing.

The top tier of boxing Floyd Jr, Manny Pac, the Klitschkos. Guys who make more for one fight than Lesnar has made in his entire career.

 

word.

You just owned ZED in quick order. :Thumbs:

 

Zed's dead honey, Zed's dead.:hump:

 

how much was Floyd making in his 7th pro fight?

 

Shut your filthy Canadian mouth Stafford.

 

Not that much.

This might be because Floyd was not an established star who inked a deal to enter boxing based on his fame in another sport followed by a similar demographic (in this case, rednecks and homosexuals).

It might also have something to do with the fact that a boxer, no matter what his bona fides are, is unlikely to fight an established star, hall-of-famer and former champion in his very first pro fight. If he did so, he would be unlikely to win.

Similarly, Floyd did not fight for the championship belt in his 3rd pro fight, as no other boxer ever has, and as Lesnar did.

I don't know, I don't think it speaks very well for the sport you seem to be an apologist for that a guy from a fake sport entered the ranks and won the championship in 3 fights. Almost makes it seem like a joke, really. A homoerotic one.

 

Brock Lesnar took one steaming dump on the credibility of cage fighting after another.

"You can't just walk in and dominate with no experience." - cage fighting fans.

But wait... Brock is a world class wrestler! He had all kinds of experience!

Hold on... I thought you you had to be good at multiple disciplines to succeed in cage fighting? I guess not.

What a crock of shit that "sport" is. It's all trash. Every single fighter, other than the top two or three guys, is fucking awful. AWFUL.

Thanks. :bears:

 

even if all the guys were super skilled technicians, it would still be a homoerotic sport with a ridiculous cartoonish atmosphere (the cage itself) and an unsettling level of "helpless guy on the ground getting kneed in the face 15 times" scenarios that, rather than causing revulsion in its fans, cause arousal and celebration.

You can keep that shit. Boxing is great because you are severely limited to what you can do. Would Football (soccer) be way better if you could use your hands?

 

You might want to look up Lesnar's actual wrestling credentials. Not the fake ones. I'm sure you knew that though, I'm sure you also know a solid wrestling base is one of the best things to have in MMA.

 

It would be Rugby.

 

Who the hell brought up MMA in this thread

 

How did James Toney do? Wrestling is the best single skill you can have for MMA. Boxing, not so much.

 

mike, who else?

 

James Toney was completely shot. Awful, awful comparison.

 

Amen

 

knees to the face on the ground are not legal.

 

They sent the damn oldest dude they had, they couldn't have gone any easier on him.

 

Now I'm done talking about MMA in here. Sorry.

 

James Toney couldn't even box anymore. I'm disappointed.

 

Any striker with no ground game doesn't do well in MMA.
