I don't know much about him to be honest... is he really this stupid and disrespectful?

Even in a Boxing fight, I'd take Cain inside a round. Fury is a fucking moron.

He is indeed a moron, but you must be kidding if you actually think Cain could beat anyone remotely decent in a boxing match.

It's obviously just a publicity stunt, but I don't think Velasquez or Dos Santos are guys who deserve a tremendous amount of respect to be honest. They are a couple of bums as long as they aren't taking you down, if they were to keep the fight standing even Tyson Fury would make easy work of them.

Wow I can't believe anyone could say that. Clearly you believe fighting is just about punching and nothing more? How can you not respect 2 guys who have had to learn more than one martial art in order to make it to the top of a combat sport?

I just don't think either man is a special athlete. I'd much rather watch someone who was incredibly good at one disicpline than a cockfight. Aesthetically, I find most ground fighting to be repulsive regardless of how difficult or skillfull it may be, I'll admit that.

Science disagrees with that

But getting past the MMA vs Boxing thing... why would you call out a guy from a different sport like that? And maybe in England "tit" is a term of endearment... but seems rather rude for here for a guy you don't even know.

Haha, kind of a neat video I guess but taking raw data from simple tests like that isn't exactly the end all measure of athletecism. All that proves is that he's in great shape, and very powerful. I'm sure most NFL players would put up huge numbers in a setting like that as well. It's the intangibles and finesse, individual skillsets which really seperate elite guys from those who are merely physical beasts. I'd bet all kinds of phenomenally talented athletes wouldn't score very highly at all on tests like that, but so what.

To be calling MMA cockfighting is pretty ignorant. I also think it is ridiculous to suggest they're not quality athletes. MMA is a tough sport, so to get to the top requires a high level of skill. Fury wouldn't last very long in a cage. I'll admit I'm exaggerating with the length, but I wouldn't be stunned if Cain stopped him in a Boxing fight.

I didn't call MMA in general a cockfight, although it certainly can be. I was thinking specifically of the fight last weeked between Cain and Junior. That was shit to watch in large part, Dos Santos was completely out of gas unable to fight back and just getting hit while turtling on the ground for much of the fight, not my cup of tea. And to suggest Cain could beat anyone who only boxes for a living at a high level is purely hypocritical given that you accuse me of being ignorant.

Exactly..

lol I can't believe these dudes put Santos and Cain on a pedestal as if they are some skilled killers..

As long as they fight like real men, Tyson Fury puts them to sleep on the same night and im not even joking.

[palmerq]

well if they were boxing i think fury could beat them both very easily but in a real fight fury would more than likley lose.. although it would be interesting to see a boxer who is not ancient and past it in the ring with a mid level mma guy and seeing how far they could go... even kimbo won some mma fights so i am sure a good boxer could rack up some good wins but once they got towards the title i have no doubt they would lose just about every time it just a totaly different sport..

Stupid of furry since its two diffrent worlds and he'd probably just get taken down and submitted, just like cain would lose to any decent boxers. I'm pretty sure dos santos said he'd knock out klitscko in a boxing fight, which is just as stupid.

Yeah, I couldn't help but remembering that comment by Junior when I was watching him fight. That is clearly far more ludicrous than Tyson Fury simply issuing a challenge like this for publicity. Klitschko would absolutely torture either of those guys standing up, it would be inhumane.
