Only the heavyweights

Once anybody has seen a decent MMA fight I cant understand why they would pay good money to see one Cash Cow fight one hand picked chump .. I'll watch Mayweather Hatton but is there anything else out there.. the Heavyweight Division has been a joke for years upon years

Mayweather DelaHoya was the biggest thing in the game and quite frankly I found it boring ... compared to two highly trained MMA fighters who are quite happy to knock the living **** out of each other for your viewing entertainment ... Watched this fight live at the stadium with some mates last weekend ... Brutal knock out !!!

MMA is the same as boxing mate, styles make fights.

I agree MMA can be exciting but dont try and tell me that at least 90% of the MMA fights are not just 2 fellas hugging each other on the floor cos theyre scared to go toe to toe with each other.

Admittedly though, when you get the right chemistry it kicks off big time and is enjoyable.

That event was K1 not MMA which is like Kick Boxing on Crack

Its all fighting at the end of the day

I just want to see to people knock the **** out of each other and shake hands afterwards or go to hospital with tubes sticking out of the mouths. Is that too much to ask

Oh nearly forgot .. peace and love

It's to many title fights now and that has ruined the fun to watch it.

It should be one world champion in every division so you know that when it is a title fight then the best boxer in the division will be involved. Right now it can be a title fight between number 10 and 20 and that isn't really that interesting.

Holyfield won't be the real world champion even if he wins his match for example. He will have to fight against all the other so called world champions and beat them all until he is the real champion.

I hope it doesnt end in him been dead or like Ali

To be fair I think Ali is more lucid and coherant than Holyfield

Jesus. He's not going to be happy until someone's mopping his brains off the canvas.

Man should retire before he gets ****ed up even more.

A part of the reason why many boxers continues longer, like Holyfield, is that there is more titles and that means that even if you are not among the best anymore then you will get a chance to win a "world title".

Holyfield would never get a chance if there was only one world champion and that means that he would quit the game earlier IMO.

Can anyone really see him being interested going three or four hard matches before he gets a chance at the title? That what it would take if it's was only one world champion.

Now he only need to go one not that tough match before he gets a chance.

[Chris]

I pray he gets out of this match with a narrow defeat and packs in. If he somehow scrapes a win and goes on to fight Vitali or Wlad he'll get absolutely wasted.

Holyfield has won his last 4 fights.
If this had not been the case, he wouldn't be considered.
Boxers have a habbit of thinking they are invincible, even when they are older. I am su Holyfield still thinks he has what it takes, and will settle for any version of the belt.
