I completely agree with this. I think Mercer is a prime example of this too. Don't get me wrong I know he'll never be UFC HW champ, but he showed that boxing has a serious chance in MMA when he KO'd the former UFC champ Tim Sylvia in 8 seconds in a cage. And that is a man who is something like 15-16 years younger than him.
