Mma vs box

[Mattyhitman]

I re-opened this debate (sort of) with a friend last night while watching UFC something or other.

Not even sure how recent the card was, but it was a good one.

The conversation started while watching Chuck Liddell batter a guy, with neither prepared to go to ground and both stood and fought the whole fight.

It got me thinking, someone like Liddell, there can't be many boxers that would knock him out? The guy is solid! Not sure on his weight though, but I'm sure he could avoid heavyweight.

He can take a punch and can land massive bombs, he would trouble many boxers.

Clearly an old Chuck fight bud, cos he now has NO chin as proven by Rich Franklin in his last fight

Back in the day he was one of the toughest SOB's in the game, unfortunately now a shot fighter

Must have been old then, his record was 23-5 going into the fight, so maybe you can guage it by that.

The whole card was pretty good, it was on Five USA+1 at about 1am this morning!

It also had a guy who managed to pull off a switch to arm bar in one of the slickest and fastest ways I've ever seen.

But "old Chuck" Had enough left to break Franklin's arm with a kick.
