In boxing?

Well, all I can say is, 38 other guys thought they had a chance too... Everyone's trying to figure out how to beat Mayweather. It's hard to create a strategy to beat a man who's never been beaten.

There's no blueprint to follow, no previous pathways of success to mimic, and no way of knowing if a certain strategy will work, or not, until you bring it...

So far, everyone who'd brought it, got their butts kicked. I really thought Hatton had the best chance of any fighter I've seen, but- I guess not...

Until Manny Pacquio moves up, or Roy Jones Jr. moves down, there's no one left for Pretty-Boy Floyd to prove himself against.

 

No, no, no.....MMA match.

We know he can box...a person would have to be stupid to think otherwise.

If we put Mayweather and Huerta in a cage together for an MMA match, Mayweather wouldn't have a chance.

 

WORD....I've had to gouge an eye r two myself back in the day!

 

Yeah I was talking about Huerta and Mayweather boxing. Huerta is the only 150#er in the UFC I would give half a chance. He'd still get beat the F up but that dude has heart and good head on his shoulders. MMA style Huerta would tap him out!

 

Why are you pretending not to know we're talking about an MMA match?




Nobody in the MMA arena is calling him a joke in his own profession. He's one hell of a ring master in boxing. He's the one talking crap about MMA, as a sport, and impugning the quality of the athletes involved in it. He's the one looking to step into the MMA arena and test his skills.

I for one, do not know what other skills he brings to the table besides boxing. If his ground game is equal to his stand-up (Assuming he can deliver and defend kicks), then he will be a hard man to beat. If he is a novice on the mat and doesn't have the ability to avoid leg damage while standing, he's in deep doo-doo. Unless he lines up fights with guys who are not upper echelon fighters and who think they can stand with a professional prizefighter.

Hell, a good Muay Thai fighter will give a boxer hell, even without the ground game being taken into account.

 

yep, my hand speed is pretty good, and I can move pretty well for a big fella, but I'm not going to fight someone else's fight. If it's obvious I can't out box them, then we're going to the ground.

When I first moved to Dallas, some teens (15 - 17) got into a fight, and this boy gouged another kids eyes out. Blinded him in one eye, and severely damaged the vision in the other. The thing that made it bad was from the news accounts, the gouger had already won the fight, but still tried to take the guys eyes. He must've sat on this guys chest and thumbed the dudes eyes out. How else could he get them?

That was about 10 years ago.

That's when I knew Texans fought on a lower level. Before that, I'd never think someone would go for my eyes if we were in a fight. Now, I hear it's common place.

Because the way it was presented, and replied to- seemed to say this MMA guy would take Mayweather in Mayweather's element.

In an MMA fight, no- I don't think Mayweather would be 38 - 0, not a chance. Bruce Lee probably wouldn't have gone 38 -0 in a martial arts fight. Too much to watch out for. Knees, feet, hands, head... But, Bruce wouldn't be a 38 - 0 boxer either... Then again- Bruce was hella quick, strong, and a great puncher too.

 

EEehhh she deserved it!

 

So the fight is all setup-- Big Hersh vs Rampage-- in three months time for three million dollars. Hersh works out hard getting back in good shape. Rampage continues to work out like a demon from hell supplementing with anabolic steroids to come in at 265 pounds.

They enter the octagon......Ding! Hersh advances on Rampage who backs away and then unleashes a barrage of punches and kicks on the advancing Hersh. Hersh thinks-- "hmm this dude is pretty quick" Hersh bull rushes Rampage but his take down is stuffed and he eats more tasty leather. Hersh thinks--"hmm I feel a little dizzy and disoriented"

Hersh attacks again and this time gets a hold of Rampage and slams him to the mat! Hersh is getting tired but tries to land some blows on Rampage.
Rampage scrambles around and Bam he gets Hersh's back and is giving him the dirty rear naked choke. Hersh thinks-- "damn I got a serious problem here" Ding! Saved by the bell.

Round two...Ding! Hersh is God Damn tired but Rampage just circles around like a Hyena chasing a wounded Wildebeast across the Serengeti. Hersh lunges and receives a high kick to the head. Hersh is looking up at strange people asking him what his name is. Rampage comes over and says "how you doin man" and is whisked away for the post fight interview and his three million dollar pay check. Hersh goes to the hospital for observation due to a concussion, three cracked ribs, a dislocated shoulder, various lacerations and bruises.

 

No way anyone is paying money to see Hersh fight and no way he makes it past 30 seconds with Rampage unless Rampage is feeling charitable. Here is a more likely scenario:

Hersh vs. Rampage

Setting: Some bar in Tejas

After tipping back a few, Hersh loudly claims to have laid more pipe than anyone in the zip code. Rampage happens to be in attendance and within earshot, and he begs to differ.

Hersh sizes up the comp, and figures Rampage goes 220 in street clothes. Confident in the strength of his extra 100 lbs and fueled by his favorite umbrella drinks and the legend in his own mind, Hersh calls out Rampage.

They step outside.

Rampage mentions he is a world champion UFC fighter and gives The Stare. Hersh bravely resists the temptation to void his bowels, and counters with impressive claims of his past bench press prowess.

It’s On! Rampage is undaunted by the knowledge that Hersh used to bench more than most NFL players, and decides to toy with his larger prey. Hersh approaches and swings for ‘Page’s melon. Rampage deftly side steps and lands a heavy body shot, taking the breath from the CIA Agent. Over the next five seconds, Rampage almost dies from boredom waiting for Hersh to respond from the love tap.

In a fit of desperation and adrenaline, Hersh lunges at Rampage, only to take a strong right to the temple for his troubles. Hersh buckles and goes down. Jackson mounts him and bounces Hersh’s head off the sidewalk with a free swinging right-left-right combo. Hersh releases his bladder, whimpers “mama” and enters a comatose state. Rampage dismounts and sprays Hersh with spittle. Elapsed Time: 28 seconds.

Within six months, Hersh is seducing nurses in the ICU with tales of how he almost took down The Champ.

When asked about the incident, Rampage says “Bar fights in Texas? Yeah, there were a couple. Never broke a sweat. No law suits to date. I hope those chumps are OK, but they all deserved a beat down.”

 

NICE! That was a good read, and a good way to start the day!

 

Is this too long to use as signature quote?

 

Yes it is obvious that Hersh, with no MMA or boxing experience, would likely be going out 'the bad way' and likely within 30 seconds. I think Hersh should avoid climbing into the ring with Rampage and the 4 ounce gloves. However should it occur, as some kind of grudge match and part of a pay-per-view, all his F150 online buddies will order it! And we will be chanting...."Light up his punk *** Hersh!"

 

That was awesome. Nicely done, dirt bike dave.

Do you think I'd get into trouble for using that as a sig quote?

 

Yeah, those were both funny as Hell... LOL-

No, you won't catch me climbing in the ring with Rampage. Not unless they let me create a character, and fight him on X-Box.

The again- for $3,000,000.00 I'd climb in the ring with anyone.

As long as I stay alive, the $3M will make the wounds heal faster.
----------------------------------

Those remind me of when this big dude was Chidding Roy Jones Jr in "Pro's -vs- Joe's" when he told Roy, "You look a lot bigger and taller on TV! I lost $100 on you man!

Roy replied, "I'll look a lot taller when I'm standing over you!" Big -vs- Small doesn't mean advantage... Not against a skilled fighter. And, true to form, Roy dusted that guy off with minimal effort.

You gotta pick your battles- If I had to climb in the ring, and wrestle, box, grapple anyone- it'd be Leila Ali!

Put another 5-10 years on George Foreman, and I might be able to take him!

Anyway, those were hilarious!
