''
I would love to fight Mayweather, just because of the simple fact that I think he’s a cocky asshole … I’m not a white person, and I will smash his ass. I don’t care. His style of boxing is all built on getting people in the clinch. He’ll hit them, and then he’ll get in the clinch with them. Then the referee breaks them, and he’ll hit them and grab them again. I think it’s a great strategy. It’s not clean boxing, but it’s smart boxing. He’s going to hit somebody and grab them in MMA, and he’ll be done for. They’ll take him down. That’ll be all. I’ll be on top of the list to fight him.”
:yep:yep:yep
I bet Mayweather wouldnt trash talk MMA in front of Torres.

Mayweather wins in a boxing match, Torres wins in a MMA match. Challenging someone to a sport he's never participated in is senseless. Of course Torres will destroy Floyd in MMA. He might as well challenge the top Muay Thai fighters in the world.

torres has mayweathers style confused with john ruiz or ricky hatton, mayweather is one of the greatest talents in boxing ever and to say his boxing style is limited to getting people in the clinch is just dumb, mayweather's bread and butter is range fighting and slipping shots with his family invented shoulder roll defence, he infought hatton that night just to show he could beat hatton at this own game, torres was never a bright spark im and this comment proves how dumb he actually is
its funny how die hard mma guys really hate pbf, he has done a good job of playing the villain and finds it very easy to get under mma guys skin, look even one of the best pound for pound fighters in the sport are reacting to mayweathers bullshit comments. torres should really not involve himself with this type of shit it brings him down and he should prove he is beyond it by not commenting, pbf is not an mma fighter so obviously he aint gonna do well in mma although with some training im sure he could go far because of his athleticism. imagine kobe bryant coming out and saying "hey if tiger woods was to come out here and post me up i would check his ass"

Well if were taking anything from this its that Torres has no idea how Mayweather fights.
And What is Torres challenging Mayweather too? Boxing or MMA match? If it was boxing, that would just be comical, Torres wouldnt even be a ranked amateur.

Shit, Torres would kick a hole through mayweathers leg or clinch and knee his face into hamburger in a muay thai fight, let alone mma or street.
In a real fight floyd just better hope Torres feels sorry for him and quickly choked him out ; he could be mean and break all four limbs and several bones in his face. :lol:

Or maybe he is insulted and pointing out the fact that at the end of the day mayweather can never spend enough money to be a better fighter or half the man Torres is. Fact is for all his boxing skill he will never be half the human being Torres is, and he will never be the true dominant man in the room if Torres is there.

Do you honestly think Mayweather even knows who the hell Torres is? If he did do you honestly think he cares at all about Torres. Torres is a guy making chump change on Versus.
And, Mayweather puts on an act. He plays the role of a heel. I've never met the guy but many who have say the guy treats them with respect and is honest.
And isnt Torres a guy who fought in unsanctioned bouts at bars and nightclubs. Very classy.

The bottom line is, we hear that alot but we actually dont have any credible examples. In fact, there are plenty of examples proving otherwise.
Chase Beebe was eating Torres leg kicks just fine.
And boxing is actually quite important in MT. Look no further than the Dutch who implement alot of boxing in MT.
A mid-level MT striker like Torres isnt goign to do shit to Mayweather. Mayweather eats a couple of his kicks and proceeds to knock Torres head off into the 4th row. On the feet, Torres wouldnt know what hes in for. Mayweather isnt Manny Tapias, Mizugakis or Beebe.

I don't think a real fight between Mayweather and Torres is unpredictable in the slightest. I don't even think YOU think that, I think you are saying that because you don't want to admit that Torres eats him alive in a real fight, due to all of his mma experience. Whereas Floyd's shoulder rolll proves itself to be absolutely worthless against Miguel.

Chase Beebe is a Mixed Martial Artist is Mayweather ? Oh yeah and didnt Beebe getting choke the fuck out ? Boxing has always been more important in the Dutch style while in Thailand they have always put more stock into the clinch game. Torres is higher then mid-level Muay Thai im not calling him Ray Deekers but hes very damn good in all important Muay Thai areas watch a Miguel Torres fight you will see a fantastic clinch game,great roundhouse kicks,beautiful switch kicks ETC. Mayweather just eats these kicks ? You have obviously never trained in the art of Muay Thai which is not suprise. Also Torres isnt just some strike always guy his BJJ is among the very best in the world, this is something Mayweather doesnt know a thing about. Im sure Mayweather doesnt even know how to do a basic mount escape let alone actually perform that once Miguel gets on top pounds his face in and armbars him.

What makes you think Mayweather cares about the ground game or any aspect of MMA aside from boxing? He wouldn't train in BJJ even if you paid him. He's a world-class athlete and one of the best boxers of our generation (aside from Pacquiao). It doesn't bother him if a mid-level MMA fighter can take him down and submit him, considering he has zero interest in submissions.

He obviously cares about it when he goes off and makes dumbass comments like he makes about MMA. If he didnt care he wouldnt feel the need to waste time talking about it when he could use the time talking about how many buyrates he produced in 2007 which he loves to talk about.

Playing the role of vililan on WWE or an interview is one thing, he clearly is not doing just that, he is a bad human being, all facts point to this. Just look at the way he treats people around him. His ego is huge, he is a dick, he will die alone and miserable.
Who cares if he knows who Torres is? Torres knows who he is, and Torres and everybody else know who the better person is, know who is loved by their family, knows who is loved by their community, knows who does and doesn't have to pay to have friends, know who claims to be from "the getto" but lived in a middle class neighborhood in grand rapids and who grew up in east chicago indiana.
Fighting fights with a willing opponent in a legit sport in bouts that were not illegal is a HELL OF A LOT DIFFERENT THAN BEATING UP WOMEN!
One guy has more money, the other is a better human being, is loved and respected by everybody who meets him, and a much much better fighter.

Tapia, Mizugaki, Beebe have all spent years learning to cope with and check with leg kicks, they have experienced them and elbows, and real cliches. Mayweather has never spent a day on it.
Ever been kicked in the leg by somebody who knows what they are doing when you don't? That is bad enough, but once he gets a clinch, starts throwing knees to his face and body? Elbows over his eyes?
Mayweather would obviously do much better standing than in an MMA fight, but he has several things he has never seen before and could end up being completely incapable of dealing with solid leg kicks.

How is that absurd? You think Torres can't leglock him off his back? Can't pull guard? Hell, he could simply buttscoot across the floor; what's Haye going to do? If he gets close Torres grabs a leg and either gets him down or works a leglock, if he throws a punch he might land, he might also get it caught and armbared.
One clinch and there are kimuras, standing guillotines, standing arm-triangles, taking the back, standing guard pull. Lets not pretend that it would be impossible for Torres to take him down either, from the clinch its possible, and even from a double leg its possible.
Being 200lbs and strong does not make you exempt from the laws of gravity and the forces of leverage, the basis of judo and wrestling. Haye's recreational Judo and Torres' profesional lifetime of wrestling and judo are two different things.
Do you think Torres would win a judo match between them? Of fucking course! So what makes it different once Torres gets that first clinch?
Torres has fought bigger guys than Haye, who actually know how to wrestle and defend submissions.
Haye can land a shot and end it all, but as millions of mma and even boxing fights show, a guy whos only shot to win is one big punch before the other guy can do much of anything is a terribly unlikely way to win a fight.
Torres has to make it without getting knocked out before he can clinch or grab something from the buttscoot, the first one is risky but still in Torres' favor, the second would be boring but pretty safe.

You never answered my question:
"So lets sum this up shall we? You believe that MMA is just a sport and it does NOT resemble REAL FIGHTING. You also believe that MMA is least limited combat sport. If MMA is least limited sport than what is "unlimited", that would be a REAL FIGHT wouldn't it? ... So since you believe MMA is least limited it is only logical to assume that you also believe it is the closest to REAL FIGHT?
You also believe that a MMA fighter would be a favorite in an MMA fight. Since MMA is the closest to a real fight how is boxing better knowledge to have than MMA?" :huh

It's clear as day that pro MMA fighters respect boxing, because THEY TRAIN BOXING. While boxer(few exceptions) don't train martial arts used in MMA and have disrespect for it. For example Haye has respect for MMA and he trained in judo and wrestling(i think).

i train mma and the easiest part of mma for me has been able to land my punches once my opponent goes for a leg kick, when a fighter kicks his guard drops even more than where it is, where i train the fighters very rarely like to throw leg kicks at me because taking a punch off a boxer which mma fighters just cant take that well is not an option

Beebs said "The fact that he knows Torres would have his way with him". That's why I said, Floyd probably doesn't know or care who Torres is. And quite frankly, he shouldn't. MMA fighters don't have to teach Floyd respect for shit. Floyd is a grown man, and if he wants to fly off the handle then he's gonna do so, and their's nothing anyone can do about it. I agree that his opinion sucks, because I box and do MMA. However, Floyd will get his in September, when Machida & Shogun smash the Boxing PPV in the ratings. Floyd will not be able to talk about how he out sold MMA that night with his millions & bullshit blah blah blah. I think there, we can agree on.

David hate has been doing Judo casually, big difference. Torres has been boxing for 10 years, so do you think he would know how to box with Haye? The gap between Torres' mma/grappling and Hayes is bigger than the boxing gap; torres is pound for pound top five, Haye isn't.
If torres can avoid getting KO'd before the first clinch or ground encounter, which is no easy task obviously, it's a grappling match, and torres dominates any grappling exchange at all between the two.

Dominant might not be the best word, but all around better man is. Flour has money, that's it. Torres has the love of his family, the love of his community, real friends rather than paid yes men who only cater to his ego. On his death bed all that money isn't going to but him love, isn't going to buy him respect, and isn't going to make him a real man. The fact that Torres beats the shit out of him is just icing on the cake. One lives the life of a real man, the other is a petulant child who's life is so worthless he cries on fucking television because he is too much of a petulant brat to be a man and talk to his fucking father.

He's been talking to his father again. What are you talking about? And why does any of that shit even matter? What does his money and personal life have to do with anything? Is he worrying about your personal life? No, he's living his and you're writing about it.
Your talking about true friends and all that and that bullshit. The only true friend is the dollar in your pocket. That's it. I'd MUCH RATHER trust my dollars than trust my friends, that's for damn sure, and as long you have money and lot's of it, you're good. And Mayweather's life doesn't seem worthless to me.
Let's see here. One guy fights on PPV and makes millions and arguebly the best boxer on the planet, retired and still everyone kept talking shit about him, the other is pretty much an unknown that fights on Versus:lol: At the end of the day, Miguel Torres can only dream of being as big a name as Floyd Mayweather. He'd prefer to have all that money, he'd prefer to have that limelight. But different strokes for different folks.

David hate has been doing Judo casually, big difference. Torres has been boxing for 10 years, so do you think he would know how to box with Haye? The gap between Torres' mma/grappling and Hayes is bigger than the boxing gap; torres is pound for pound top five, Haye isn't.
If torres can avoid getting KO'd before the first clinch or ground encounter, which is no easy task obviously, it's a grappling match, and torres dominates any grappling exchange at all between the two.
haye has been involved in martial arts since the age of 3, and has practised judo, bjj and karate, when grappling in third space in london haye's athleticism makes him hold his own against guys with good records and have been training bjj for 15 plus years
torres wouldnt have a hope in hell in a grappling match with haye, torres is at 135 an haye is a huge muscular hw, hayes jab would ko torres and if torres got in close haye has good kicks and torres would not have the size or strenght to trouble haye, as i said haye is known to hold his own against decent guys his own size from space im sure he can handle torres
as i said haye would rape torres :deal

Dominant might not be the best word, but all around better man is. Flour has money, that's it. Torres has the love of his family, the love of his community, real friends rather than paid yes men who only cater to his ego. On his death bed all that money isn't going to but him love, isn't going to buy him respect, and isn't going to make him a real man. The fact that Torres beats the shit out of him is just icing on the cake. One lives the life of a real man, the other is a petulant child who's life is so worthless he cries on fucking television because he is too much of a petulant brat to be a man and talk to his fucking father.
come on if your father constantly battered your mother you would hold some against him, floyd is still loved by the rest of his family dearly as he is the one who has shared his wealth, he is the one that provides to the poor in the working class areas of michigan, from what i hear quite a lot of folk love floyd, everyone who has met him says he is a cool guy. when pbf visited london the other month thousands turned up to see floyd train, now if torres was to turn up to train he might get 35.
dont go on with that bullshit that he wont have his mates and all that bollox, the man is a clever business man and im sure he will know who is friends are at this stage, torres has the love of the community:lol::lol: you really do have some good quotes. anyway back to the point torres is nothing to mayweather he might be top 5 p4p in mma but the guy is an unknown, even in the world of mma he is still relatively unknown by some of your so called fans, as a household name if you mention torres they think you are on about the footballer for liverpool:hi:

what a dumb quote, mayweather is at a level in his sport which torres will never reach, no mma fighter is even close to pbf's dominance, do you think being the most dominant man in the room :lol::lol::lol: (what age are you btw) is lifes most important thing, i know id rather have mayweathers bank balance than be the most dominant man in the room, who needs mma skills when you have 3 bodyguards all packing heat. mayweather is getting 15 mill for fighting a blown up lightweight and torres is struggling to pay his mortgage
I scoff at the notion that no mma fighter is close to pretty boy floyd's dominance. At least Miguel Torres takes the hardest challenges ON THE REGULAR. Georges St. Pierre beat a good Hughes and a great Penn and the #1 contender and the #2 contender etc. etc. Anderson Silva cleared out every single challenger in his division (that fights in the UFC at least) and is now moving up in weight. Fedor has beaten multiple world champions.
Pretty Boy Floyd wouldn't fight Margarito. Pretty Boy Floyd wouldn't fight Cotto. Pretty Boy Floyd is now fighting a natural lightweight. Sure, he is making a lot of money, but the most dominant? That guy won't even take the toughest challenges.
Sugar Ray Leonard. Marvin Hagler. Ali.... These were boxers that took on the best of their era. Pretty Boy Floyd routinely refuses to do that and for that reason, he is NOT the most dominant. In order to be the most dominant you have to beat the BEST.

its all about risk and reward boxing is a business first sport second, if a risk is larger than reward then why take the fight, in mma the purses are so small that the reward is always gonna be lower than risk which is what motivates mma fighters to take the so called toughest fights, mayweather because of that 0 in his record is getting 15 mill in his next fight and not 2 mill, so when i hear this argument i say well hey can you blame him

No, I can't blame him for making wise business decisions for his future. But I can accurately state that he isn't the most dominant champion and I can blame you for saying he is the most dominant when he is not.

If you think Haye lasts 5 minutes in a grappling match with Torres you are simply disqualified from the conversation. 250 lb monsters with a lifetime of grappling reguarly lose to small guys in the open weight division of ADCC, the mundials, and every other grappling competiton that matters.
Look at the winners of the absolute or open weight divisions in grappling, they are full of guys like Marcelo Garcia. While Torres is no Garcia, Haye is a hobbyist, not a world class grappler, not a regional class grappler, not the beat grappler in whatever gym he happens to be in.
To suggest Haye wins a grappling match agaisnt Torres is the single fucking most out of touch with reality statement I have read on any message board ever.

He's been talking to his father again. What are you talking about? And why does any of that shit even matter? What does his money and personal life have to do with anything? Is he worrying about your personal life? No, he's living his and you're writing about it.
Your talking about true friends and all that and that bullshit. The only true friend is the dollar in your pocket. That's it. I'd MUCH RATHER trust my dollars than trust my friends, that's for damn sure, and as long you have money and lot's of it, you're good. And Mayweather's life doesn't seem worthless to me.
Let's see here. One guy fights on PPV and makes millions and arguebly the best boxer on the planet, retired and still everyone kept talking shit about him, the other is pretty much an unknown that fights on Versus:lol: At the end of the day, Miguel Torres can only dream of being as big a name as Floyd Mayweather. He'd prefer to have all that money, he'd prefer to have that limelight. But different strokes for different folks.

Because if you remove all outside influences and have them fight, Torres wins easily. Yes I realize Floyd is only a boxer, and it is comparing two different sports, but that is warranted given lil joy boy's take that boxers are better fighters than mma fighters.
To win a fight with Torres Mayweather either needs rules, a weapon, or some other outside influence.
In just a fight between two men, Torres wins, hence he is the better fighter. He may not be the better "athlete" or "sports participant" but he is the better fighter, and by far the better man.

Floyd is ignorant in the fact he underrates the MMA fighter's skills and feels free to disrespect them..when the truth is, if the shit hit the fan and they were to fight it out..he would lose and possibly die. So he, and his nuthuggers should STFU and understand the reality of the situation.

I agree with everything you just said, Floyd is wrong and has no clue what the hell he's talking about when commenting on MMA, but it's his opinion. But obviously he's not challenging any MMA fighters. Infact, he was on that circus wannabe MMA show the Iron Ring during his "retirement" and said MMA was a cool sport.

Read my post. Everyone here understands that boxers would be better at boxing- what I was reinforcing is the fact that elite MMA fighters are better overall fighters than Boxers. That means if they got in a fight (not a boxing match)- just a plain old fight the odds are stacked monsterously in the MMA fighter's favour- because he has more tools and conditioning for a 'complete' fight than a limited boxer.
A good example would be if Floyd got into a fight with for example Kid Yamamoto- he would not only lose badly but would be at the mercy of Kid's submissions as to how far he wanted to take it.

Really? Are you guys fans of boxing? I would imagine fans of boxing would like to see the best fight the best and for their to be a true champion who proves the dominance he has in his sport by beating the best challengers?
You guys are just following a cult of personality. Do you care about boxing or do you care about Floyd Mayweather's personal financial success? I don't understand the whole "I'm so happy because Floyd Mayweather makes a shit ton of money while not dominating the sport" concept. Hoo-fucking-ray! Floyd is very successful while not fighting Margarito or Mosley or Cotto or Pac-man! Yay Floyd!:roll:
I love MMA and that's why I love to see Torres take on the best challenges. That's why I love to see dominant champs like GSP and Anderson Silva clear out all of the competition. I like to see the best fights, not fighters make tons of money not taking on the best competition.
