There is no buzz coming from this boxing fan...
This fight is bullshit.. and the way it is being marketed==== "boxing vs mma" is retarded.
This is an mma fight that features a boxer.. not a fight that pits the two realms of warfare against each other...
I will say this though.. Toney will do better in this realm than Couture could do in his.. and that should tell you something about mma...
only in mma can a man win the title and be declared the baddest man on the planet after only 3-4 fights.. only in mma could this happen..why? Because there is not much of a difference in skill between the guys with 2-3 fights and the guys with 20...
now in boxing, timing is key and it takes a lot of fights to learn to use good timing.. so there is a huge gap between guys with 2-3 fights and guys with 20+ which suggests that, as subtle as boxing is, boxing is more complex than mma because it takes longer to master..or at least get to a point where you can compete with the elite in the sport....
Bottom line.. this fight proves nothing.. not even if Toney wins.. nothing is proven at all..Not even if Couture knocks Toney out standing.. nothing is proven.. this is a new realm.. a realm in which a fake shot brings both hands down... so it is possible that Toney could get clocked..not likely.. but possible.. and it's even more possible that COuture's suspect chin will get tripped... but the most possible outcome is that Couture is going to turn this into a wrestling match asap and win because Toney isn't a wrestler...
so it proves nothing despite any outcome...

Wow honestly you couldnt sound more biased. First of all name 1 MMA champion with 3-4 fights total..... There isnt one, even Brock has 6 fights. And I'm sure that's who you're referring to because he's the only example you can think of.

How can you seriously sit there and say someone with a record of 2-1 or 3-1 has the same amount of skill as someone who's 20-1. That's quite a far fetched statement to make and shows your knowledge of MMA right off the bat.

First off, boxing has been in the mainstream far longer than MMA. Obviously, there are going to be a much wider variety of talents. It is a sport that has evolved and MMA is still in that process.
boxing is more complex than mma because it takes longer to master..
Boxing being more complex than MMA is just a plain joke dude. How is it easier to master a SINGLE martial art, than it is to master all of the martial arts?!?! That's just an absurd statement, from an obvious boxing junkie. You would never even be able to master MMA in your lifetime, no matter how hard you trained.

Really? It proves nothing? Both fighters are past their prime, and are much older, yes. But this is a PURE boxer, against an MMA fighter. All the shit that boxing has talked over the years should come to fruition.
lmao So if randy KO's a boxing legend it means nothing? Sounds like your afraid to admit what it REALLY means. Your saying it doesnt matter solely because you know James is the underdog. So in your minds, if he loses, it doesn't mean anything. When in everyone elses minds, it DOES mean something. It means that a pure boxer who has talked a TON of shit can't back up what he says.
