    Cain could become a fringe contender in much the same way Deontay Wilder has.


    Does the guy have power? Sure
    Does he know how to throw punches? For an MMA guy yeah
    Is he in good shape? Yeah


    Now for the stuff he would have to worry about: chin, strategy, and technique

    Lets not undermine Wilder so easily.

    In a boxing match he'd KO Cain in a round. Or he could masterfully outbox him if he wanted to. Shannon Briggs would do the same to him.

    Cain is a killer and great athlete. But, he's the best all around heavyweight fighter in the world. NOT the best boxer. Or close.

    I would favor him to beat Kimbo in a boxing match for sure.

    I like wilder, I don't mind the guy, I think he's a good dangerous fighter. HOWEVER the guys he has fought ain't the greatest which is my point.

    Fair enough. He has beaten some bums. And his last opponent took a dive in my opinion.
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
