I'm sure guys like Tyson etc would do well but honestly Chuck Liddel would probably have been one mean mutha fuckker back then as he's virtually a bare knuckle brawler now and damn near unstoppable at present.
Chuck Lidell would get smashed up bareknuckles or not the guy is an off balance musclebound MMA fighter id back any top ten heavyweight to knock him out with hands , there a difference between an MMA fighter and a world class boxer .

Look at Lidells elbows when he throws any kind of punch and compare it to a boxer , [the geezer can't punch . He might be able to punch going forward but a counter puncher ( genuine puncher ) can throw a knockout punch off the back foot, believe me he'd get sparked very quickly . The reason gloves were put on fists is to protect hands from heads not to protect heads from hands !!!!

The same fighters who are world champion with gloves would be world champion in the bareknuckle era because genuine world champs are smarter more adaptable and deal with crisis better than fighters who have the talent but never quite make it .

Non punchers can still do untold damage without gloves you'd just have a more evolved fighter with better skills .

The points null and void anyway like i said Gloves were put on fists to protect hands and as my old mate Scrap didly Ap said their hands were fucked after 10 fights .

Imagine Rafeal Marquez smashing somebody in the head he'd break his whole handand probably damage his wrist and elbow .

Hitting the bag without gloves is dangerous enough conditioned bone such as skull ,hip and elbow is F****** suicidal .
Total Idiotic comment with ignorance stinking to high heaven and earning a much deserved # 46

Liddell is the opposite of musclebound and as a matter of fact has great balance and fluidity in his punches

He cant punch Huh? Well there are quite a few of his opponents that will disagree with that...

20W-3L with 13KO's http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/f...?FighterID=192

As a matter of fact Lidell has KO quite a few opponents backing up and is a prolific counterpuncher... So I dont know who or what the hell your watching but I suggest you look closer or actually look before writing stuff that is so wrong its ridiculous....

############# ALSO LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF CHUCK IN THE LINK I PROVIDED.... YEA HIS PYHSIQUE IS LEGENDARY, KINDA RONNIE COLEMAN ESQUE #######################################

JT you're on my arse without making a single noteworthy point except fantasising about mens physique.

You've never boxed you've never been to a gym and you have no idea about balance or posture !!

Sad click away truth is though you know fuck all !!!

A puncher is not just somebody who bulls forward throwing a punch with his full weight behind a punch !!!

theres a difference between being a pressure fighter and a puncher , Liddel is a pressure fighter with power not a puncher you idiot !!!

A puncher is somebody who can take you out with split second timing without reaching or leaning with a punch somebody who can time you off the backfoot when under pressure .

By your WWF standards Liddel might spark a few people in MMA but he is sloppy and his balance is poor backing up against guys who are lunging for a takedown or trying to grapple him does not make him a puncher just as it doesnt make a pissed up Rugby prop knocking out a bouncer on a saturday night you F wit .

See the thing is when i talk about Punchers im talking about world class punchers people who do it on the world stage in the boxing ring


MMA is far beneath the level needed to be a world class puncher in a boxing ring !!


Levels muppett levels .

As for my shit post can you please tell me im i right about Boxing gloves being put on fists to protect hands or am i wrong are they used to protect heads ?

See throughout the entire thread nobody mentioned that so please dont bottle it and give me a genuine answer .
