MMA fighters for the boxing fans

[Markie B]

What MMA fighters do you guys think boxing fans would like the most?

I would guess Georges ST. Pierre. The guy is fast, agile and loves to strike.

Tank Abbot goes without saying. Belfort also.

Anderson Silva

Anderson Silva by far.

The ex boxers or guys who later succesfull boxed and don't totally suck at mma like most ex boxers - Jeremy Williams, Marcus Davis, Jens Pulver, both Noguerias, Sergei Kharitanov

The "Spider" Silva and Goerge St.Pierre, to me they are the ones with a real p4p talent. Of course Randy Coutore (sorry not sure how it is spelled) is worthy of honorable mentions.

Well Shane Mosley trained with Rampage and helped him a bit with his standup. Oscar allowed Diego into his camp. It wouldn't really make much sense to me if these two boxers would like these MMA fighters and want to triain with them and their fans don't.

Actually it seems all you hear from boxers is respectable things and compliments when faced with questions about MMA fighters. Yet their immature and slightly retarded fans bash the shit out of them.

I would say Lyoto Machida. If you guys like the Mayweather hit and not be hit philosophy, this is the guy for you.

..I love GSP but his boxing aint that great.

Silva by far!

My favorite UFC fighters. Boxing fans would love them.

I dont like any MMA cuz of the UFC reps. Dana White and Joe Rogan. I dont watch much of UFC anymore.

Brock Lesnar. He's a former national champion in wrestling. Nobody has his combo of size strength and speed. If he gets any kind of grund game and submissions....he'll be unstoppable.

This is what makes me laugh about Brock. You've basically stated that he needs to sort out his ground game, if he were the that good at wrestling then you'd at least expect him to be good at this. His tap out was very poor. To offer his leg in the way he did was pathetic.

Having said all of this, I currently like GSP but if Brock can get his act together then I think he will be the man to watch in the future.

Perhaps I’m reading you post wrong, but you do realise that there are no submission in amateur wrestling, right?


Submissions are something that he has little experience with.

Submissions are something that he has little experience with.

Also, Lesnar was a great amateur wrestler.

I like Matt Hughes, Robbie Lawlor, Chuck Lidell, Quinton Jackson and Dan Henderson.
Some other guys I like are the old school guys like Bas Rutten and Eric Paulson is a top notch trainer.
I did like the Lesnar fight. It was fast but entertaining.
