Boxers that can beat Fedor Emilianenko in an MMA fight

Which boxers in history would be able to beat Fedor in an MMA fight?

It must be either someone very fast and elusive or someone very strong.

My candidates:

Ali
Roy Jones
George Foreman

We all saw that Crocop gave Emilianenko a lot of trouble and that Emilianenko had difficulty catching Crocop. Prime Ali can keep Emilianenko at a distance. One flush combo is enough to KO Fedor. Prime Roy can do the same. Prime George was only 220 lbs but the guy was freakishly strong, just like Lesnar. Prime George easily pushed all his opponents around. He might actually ground and pound Fedor.

Which boxer do you think can beat Fedor in an MMA fight?

 

None.


Retarded thread.

This is retarded

What would you expect? Boxers aren't gonna beat an average MMA fighter in an MMA fight, much less arguably the best MMA fighter in history.

Plus, your logic is extremely flawed.

None of the boxers you listed have anywhere the skills with kicks, knees, takedowns, clinches, etc, that Crocop has, and that Fedor had to defend. With a boxer it would be a completely different fight.

How are Prime Ali and Prime Roy gonna defend the takedown? The leg kick? They'll be trying to throw a jab to create distance, and be getting the bejesus kicked out of their legs in the process before being taken down.

You base this on what?

That's great, if this were a pushing contest. But this is an MMA fight, so pushing won't really help too much.

Or more likely he'd find himself getting his arm ripped off ala Hong Man Choi.

TFK

 

A no boxer will beat Fedor in a MMA fight just like no MMA fighter would have beat Ali in a boxing match.

Lame thread.

 

I can't believe TFK took time to respond point by point. Did the Klan meeting end early?

 

every top notch hw would have a puncher chance at the very least, the only one from the last 20 years I could conceively see pull it off are Bowe, Tyson, Lewis, Wlad and Valuev, all big (save for Tyson, but he was a freak), strong guys that could hold their own in the clinch and who hit hard and fast enough (save for Valeuez but his huge size would make it tough for Fedor just like Choi size hindered him, and Valuev is far more skilled than choi ) thought they would all be considerable underdogs of course, and maybe the RJ that beat Ruiz or a prime Tua

 

Based solely on how astronomically superior a top level boxers striking is I think with 3 months of basic training in how to move to avoid take downs etc they would have a CHANCE. A prime Lennox Lewis with 3 months of training in how to avoid take downs long enough to give him a 20-30 second window to be able to throw a couple of combos would certainly have a CHANCE. Take Vitaly or Wvlad today and the same would apply. A top heavyweight landing something semi-solid with those 4 ounce gloves? Over.

But it's only a pretty slight chance & I certainly wouldn't pick any of them. Different sport. (Not neccesarily superior in a martial sense, BTW. A reliance on BJJ stuff is only gonna get you stabbed or your head jumped on in most real world situations....but thats another discussion.)

 

What a retard.

 

Maybe this Zab Judah impression he did?

Any decent boxer will beat fedor if it stay standing

 

Fedor will sub any boxer if it goes to the ground.

 

yes he would
which is why this thread is stupid

 

I wanna see Fedor in an exhibition against those gay ass football bums the Dallas Cowboys. They should make a reality show of it.

 

Vitali is probably the only guy who could win one fight out of 100 (maybe) because of his kick boxing background?

 

What about you? Could beat Fedor with just your boxing or would you have to use your kick boxing as well?

 

I'm a different beast. I'm all all-around fighter... I let all these guys compete in their "sports"

 

word.

 

Terrible pick imo, Vitaly bring nothing more to the table, apart from better athleticism but a worse ground game, than Semmy Schultz did, and he was easilly outpointed by Fedor. I think that a boxer, to have a chance vs Fedor, would have to be very explosive, something Vitaly is sorely lacking.

 

WOW!!!...

If he Could've Followed Up w/Even ONE More SOLID Punch, he just Might have KO'ed Fedor....


REED:bears:

 

Indeed. Roy or Ali could certainly land a much better and harder punch than that. They can also finish a hurt fighter. They wouldn't let themselves get hugged like that.

 

Yeah, he was hurt real bad there. Was the the first time you've seen that? This is why I laugh when people say Fedor is unbeatable. He's obviously very good but unbeatable? No.

 

No MMA fighter is unbeatable, but no boxer alive is even coming close to Fedor in an MMA fight. They'd never even get a chance to land punches like that.

TFK

 

Yes they would. Just shuffle around and circle like the master boxer Fujita did, then land a quick, hard, accurate right hand.

 

If Lewis landed a punch like that Fedor would go to sleep.

 

You've spoken like a true expert.

 

I guess Fedor would just stand there and let the boxer do his thing. He wouldn't shoot for a takedown, kick the legs, nothing like that. He'd just stand there and try to outbox the boxer.

TFK

 

Exactly. Fedor's not an idiot. He's not going to approach Lennox Lewis the same way he approached Fujita.

My guess is Fedor would, if faced with Lewis or the like, shoot immediately. On the ground the fight is over in seconds. There would be no second chance to hit Fedor on the way in.
