Shammy doesn't beat anyone in todays UFC
Who takes this? Shamrock was an absolute beast in his prime.
Don't lump boxing into this. He asked about MMA.mma/boxing doesnt envolve like swimming and other stuff, but yeah ... the support to back then is like day and night, but doesnt change the fact, that a skilled guy from back then, could be today as good as the others or even much better.
if you compare boxing (ali/holyfield/tyson) today HW boxers are bigger/stronger (it depends) and maybe a little faster, but i doubt that. technically they suck.
Gustafson jabs him up to a unanimous decision.
Ehhhhh, I doubt Gus would want to get close for Shamrock to latch on to one of those long limbs and start twisting. Gus will just stick and move all fight.Gus knocks him the hell out. Violently..

MMA is a multifaceted sport that is constantly evolving and changing. Look at MMA 15 years ago vs look at boxing or swimming 15 years ago. MMA looks complete different vs swimming and boxing which look identical to what they are today.
Yeah, those boxers and swimmers are faster stronger, but that is more due to education in training and diet and health.
MMA fighters are different altogether compared to when Ken was in his prime.
You're still wrong.MMA/boxing doesnt envolve like for example swimming ... jesus. ofc ufc 1 isnt the same as today ... lmao. most of them did fight for the first time and had probably a part time job. the support has envolved. HW divison of boxing today sucks compared to back then ... or short: they are just much bigger. PED new and "technology" makes it possible.
as is said above --> the support (money/training etc.) is like day and night. Ali against klitschko --> the chances are really good for ali. now put ali in a modern training camp --> i would bet my mother, that ali would made klitschko his bitch.
No he said the sport. You retarded?Lol are you saying that the human race somehow evolved in the last 20 years? Fighting is still fighting, there is no evolution.

I think Shamrock's long period of suck (he sucked after his pro-wrestling stint, the only part most Sherdoggers have seen) has affected people's notions of how close a fight could be. What about this, then:
Bas Rutten vs. Gus
When was his prime? When he was being beaten by Royce who he outweighed by 30 pounds?
Ken SHAMrock is the most overrated fighter in the history of combat sports.
Gus would have to resort to grappling. Bas was a superior striker. He would low kick the shit out of Gus' legs and then Gus would be forced to shoot for a takedown. Gus would probably beat him on the ground but if he stood with Bas too long he might get KTFO.
