Re: Cain Velasquez Rejects A Challenge From Boxer Tyson Fury, Jan. 2013
MMA's fans are so uninformed though that James Toney has one fight and its with the biggest name in MMA and he got paid twice as much as him!
If Cain moved over to boxing, there is no way that any broadcaster would be interested in buying a fit between him and Wlad. It wouldnt sell.

James Toney came to MMA and fought a 46 year old Randy Couture who was well out of his prime. There was no title on the line because he wasn't champion. Cain vs Wlad is hardly the equivalent of that fight.Originally Posted by ross

Well that was a one-and-done kind of thing. They put Toney in there to illustrate, once and for all, that a pure boxer isn't going to go into the UFC and whip ass just with boxing alone, even if he does have world class boxing.
Boxing is a great sport, but MMA is the sport of actual hand-to-hand combat.

Cain knows that, it's the boxer, Tyson, who wants the fight and is making all the noise.
Dana White said Toney followed him around the US begging for the fight. When Couture beat Toney it didn't prove anything, boxing and MMA are different. If Toney had beaten Couture it wouldn't have proved anything, boxing and MMA are different.
I enjoy them both and in my opinion, one is not better than the other.
