I won’t pay to see the boxing, but I would pay a lot to see the boxers VS the MMA guys. Hahahahaha

I would give anything to see Mayweather vs. Sherk! That would be the only time I would find myself rooting for Mr. I cant finish a fight NO matter how many roids I inject!

Most purist boxing fans would want the same thing.

Mayweather has very little fans in boxing.

damn john thats a rough comment, sherk is a family man with two kids who successfully defended the lightweight title… and the CASC is an absolute joke

if he is such a family man he should show a better example for his kids by not juicing.

what about liddell v franklin then? im not sure its a good fight for franklin at this stage?!! i think liddell however has to get his next fight signed and ge back in tere, he doesnt want to wait too long and let that ko dwell on his memory.

i don’t even know if liddell will still be fighting in 18 months unless he improves quite a bit, the liddell that fought wandi was much better and I think he was over confident in the evans fight he didn’t respect evans’ power one bit. If he goes back to the style he used when he fought wandi and improves upon that I think it could be a really good fight.

It would be a good one, but I think I’d go with Ace!

by chefdaddy on Sep 19, 2008 9:26 AM EDT up reply actions

I’d have to take Franklin too.

Franklin vs Liddell would be a huge draw

B.W.
My name is not John, but Ive got to respond to the “who’s number 4” question. I agree that from a true MMA fans point of view Chuck is an excellent option, but there is one guy who really helped MMA become extremely popular in the early days that I doubt many people will mention. Tank Abbot. Guy is not a good MMA artist by any means, but when he knocked out Big John Matua and nearly killed him, then later on told Big John Mcarthy that he was getting a hard on watching a replay of him beating the crap out of Paul Varleans, it gave a lot of people a carnic reason to watch the sport. Until then it had ony been Gracie & Severn, two extremely classy guys, who had really done anything in the sport. Tank was an immediate fan favorite, and drew in the first wrestling fans into the sport. Plus, he was the original Huntington Beach Bad Boy over another person who could arguably be on this list in Tito.
