    How old is Mercer now? He's gotta be pushin 50
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    I actually think it's pretty cool when sides cross.

    Like Arslovky wanting to box and boxers wanting to give the MMA a go.
    I just think it makes it interesting.

    I think PAC should do the crossover into MMA.

    Be the 1st to do so and do it succesfully.

    Can you imagine how massive that would be...


    Urijah Faber vs. Manny Pacquiao

    I think Pac would spark him out.

    Me too I think most TOP boxers could adapt to MMA but I'm not sure the other way around! I mean could you imagine if it was someone like Brock Lesnar vs Vitali in a boxing ring? 2 minute fight. Whereas the other way around I think Vitali's striking (as he is also a great kickboxer) would cause Lesnar hell in a cage too!

    So is this going to be on one of the Affliction and Golden Boy events or something?

    I must agree a disaster recipe. I think Mercer should lose but who know's if this Sylvia guy can even box or hell punch.

    Sylvia is 6'8 and has a good straight right, kind of lazy jab. He can punch, but not box. Who knows. Mercer is so old though, it's sad.

    Mercer must need money and doesn't mind embarassing himself and being the fall guy for MMA fighters.

    Remember his exhibition loss to Kimbo Slice in the cage?

    Well Mercer is coming off a win over some unknown 30-3 Swedish fighter, so his confidence is probably boosted. Sylvia has never fought in a boxing ring before to my knowledge so hes going to be fighting in Mercers house. I hope Mercer can pull it off cause I know how much everybody wants to see Holyfield-Mercer II

    Ray either really needs the money,or his people really saw a flaw in the guy that you can drive a truck through
