im sure his stamina will be good for him, but he won't stand a chance against kicks/takedowns.
Seems like most boxer-types in the ufc are rendered pretty useless quick. Besides, a big mouth like that tends to lend to an ass whooping.
Toney sucks. you guys can have him.

Here's the problem with the boxer's in the MMA:
1) Boxing is a very depleted sport. It's not what it once was as their isn't the interest in it there once was. The talent pool is severely diluted so that very good boxers become "great boxers" by default (Toomey, holyfield, De La Hoya, Lewis, etc, etc...) and so-so boxers become "very good" (Klitschko brothers, Moore, Bowe), and some awful ones are considered "good" (Briggs, Mercer).
2)Boxers tend to come over well past their prime...when they've lost the punch speed, quickness...and have become lumbering huggers that can get a good punch in once in a while.
It's sad because I don't think boxing has brought over the best they've had to offer. Not that I don't think boxing is the superior fighting style (though a very good boxer should do okay in MMA), it's just a more entertaining form of fighting. That said, the guy I hope to see in MMA one day would be Jones, Jr....though he's already long past his prime.
Hahaha Toney wasn't even that great at boxing IMO. Of all the fights I've seen, he seemed lazy (and that was just the stand up/lean on part). No way he makes it anywhere in the UFC. If you get tired/lazy in boxing you can lean on the guy and grab. If you get tired in the octagon, you get choked out/knocked out.
i meant you "mma" guys. :thumbsup.Quote:
