oh wait, I forgot to add...
Chuck Liddell has a skill called "takedown defense". You may want to look that term up.
If you think Mayweather even has a clue as to how and stop a wrestler like Sherk from doing a double leg takedown on him, then you seriously need to stop visiting the many methlabs in Oregon.
oh wait, I forgot to add...
We'll never know since Dana isn't going to offer Mayweather $20M. That's what it would take. Floyd would drop him with his first punch.

If it's just that easy, why not do it for a few million?? That's less work than one of his practices...
There's no point to it. Floyd makes more money than that fighting tomato cans.
No, we'll never know because Mayweather is too much of a pussy to back up his own talking. He knows he would get taken down easily and get the beaten out of him.
$3M to throw one punch and make the sport that's over-taken boxing in terms of popularity look bad? Seems like a no-brainer to me...
Isn't this his last fight anyway against ODLH? What would he have to lose?
does MMA make more money than boxing now? I haven't done any research, but you seem like a good person to ask. I would include TV rights, endorsements, etc....$3M to throw one punch and make the sport that's over-taken boxing in terms of popularity look bad? Seems like a no-brainer to me...
what the does it matter? Mayweather is a boxer. Liddell is a MMA fighter. Mayweather would destroy Liddell in a boxing ring, Liddell would do the same to Mayweather in the octagon. WHO GIVES A ?
Mayweather is stating the contrary, hence this discussion.
Who knows...that's broad question...
Everybody knows that (although Liddell vs Mayweather isn't really a discussion point due to weightclass...Sherk vs Mayweather is the challenge issued by Dana White).
The point is that Mayweather runs his mouth about the sport and how him and other boxers would KO MMA fighters before they could take them down, but he'll never back it up because he'd get waxed...
Can you not read? If he hadnt said what he said then we wouldnt be talking about it. He obviously thinks he could win in the octagon, so therefore the conversation before you was sprung
LOL...3 of us pointing out the same thing to "TheTruth" in a 2 min span

My statement was directed more towards Dana/Mayweather . I know all they want to do is sell tickets. But they both have to know that neither fighting group stands a chance against the other in the others home ring. Just like all of you know it to be true.
Mayweather wouldn't stand a chance TLong.
All Mayweather has to do is keep his trap shut concerning MMA until he is ready to step into the octagon and back up his talk.
My boss is a former golden gloves champ.......he thinks like Mayweather......he says a good boxer would knock the livin out of an MMA fighter. He said the MMA fighter would not get close enough to grapple.
Straight from my bosses own mouth.
Well, he would probably get his ass kicked too, you dont have to get that close to a boxer when you can kick the out of their legs
Exactly. Like Marco Ruas did back in the old days. That guy had some sick leg kicks
I will add that alot of these boxers don't understand that they can't react quick enough to stop a shoot from an experianced wrestler. The only way to stop a shoot is a great sprawl, like Liddell posseses, or a well timed knee (which is alot more rare, but has happened).

Pride can cloud an intelligent man's judgement.
Mayweather would knock him out. Just watch Floyd fight. He is WAY faster than Sherk. Sherk would never get a hold of him.
He wouldnt have to, Floyd would get his legs broken before he could hit Sherk once
Oh I get it...today's 420...you're just really stoned...
...really funny quote by mayweather about getting facial tatoos and starting street fights. usually, hes not that funny but that is hilarious.
i can't believe no one is has said this yet, but his point is well taken in that boxing features world-class athletes (olympians like de la hoya/jones jr. etc) while UFC is something else, has no tradition, and very well could see its popularity wain soon ala poker, pogs, and pro wrestling.
For the love of god, guys that are in UFC wouldn't be in UFC if they were the type of elite athlete that could make it in boxing.
This is proven overwhelmingly by economics. If any of these UFC guys had been talented enough to make it in boxing at a high level (like a mayweather), of course they would be boxing.
the economics of boxing provide huge/overwhelming incentive that make it the "major leagues" of guys who are truly talented pugilists. Top boxers can make 10's of millions, top MMA get 10's of thousands.
A UFC meathead wouldn't be in MMA if they had the sort of talent a top boxer has.
relative to boxing (where fighters go up against OLYMPIC freakin' champion world class athletes), fighting in the UFC is like taking on the toughest guy at the local biker bar or some .
