Someone with strength and ground control will put him to shame.

That and someoe who can basically out last him too. He seemed to look quite tired (and suprised) when Couture almost picked him up for a takedown.

His brute strength is apparent when he just decided to move Couture's arm out of the way. Like he was brushing aside paper off a desk.

Anyone catch that earlier match between the two lightweights (I think?) where that guy landed that massive uppercut? Goodnight.

Yes, Randy's plan was to tire him out...and it did seem to be working early on...hard to keep dodging those 'lunchboxes'

I dont know if anyone is going to be able to have ground control against lesnar....the man might not know how to submit but his grappling is world class, couple that with his sheer power and who can control this man on the ground?And all of the other heavyweights who are near his size have nowhere near the athleticism

i think he'll slip into an armbar to be honest

edit:

and also, not that these two could ever EVER be compared or should ever be mentioned in the same paragraph let alone the same sentence..

look at what happened to kimbo

Ok moving on, what about GSP and BJ Penn. I think Pierre will be the favorite with his size and stamina, but Penn is in better shape than when they last fought and has the edge in technique. I believe for Penn to win, he will need a submission.

Does anyone like to fight or box for fun?

I box down at the marine recruit facility, a few friends of mine are marines and they attend every other weekend and I usually go with em--good, sometimes not so clean fun

I like GSP tbh. He is the stronger of the two and imo the more athletic

All the time when I was in training. Trained for 8 years in Taekwondo. 2nd degree Blackbelt.

I'm going with GSP.

Back to some boxing....Calzaghe will end up going down as one of the great middle to light-heavyweights of all time. However, Im still skeptical...beating Roy Jones at this point in his career means zippo...everyone and their uncle was beating jones....and the fact is in my mind he lost to Hopkins 114-113...i know he wont rematch Hopkins but he should and I believe he would lose a rematch. So I won't give Calzaghe the same type of love that others will.

That being said there is no1 left in these weight divisions for him to beat...especially after Pavlik got drilled by Hopkins..so therefore he has nothing left to prove to anyone and I believe has every right to retire..although still I'd like to see a rematch with Hopkins.

Finally, back to De La Hoya and Pacquiao. The amount of hype this fight will get is pretty stupid and quite frankly its a joke. De La Hoya playing up a fight against a man who weighs a good 35-40 pounds less than him and a natural weight is, in my opinion, cowardly. He can't beat the best in the world in his division so he fights the best in the world 4 divisions lower...bravor Golden Boy.

And gk.....seriously, Margarito would not beat Mayweather because Margarito is not nearly fast enough to him. The big huge problem that just about every single fighter ever had when facing Mayweather was lack of speed/accuracy....he is the best defensive fighter and counter puncher in the last 15 years and the margartio type of fighter who just like to throw bombs and not move their head get killed by someone like that..especially when that someone is the absolute best at what he does. Frankly, there is noone who would beat Mayweather at an even weight in the world untill Mayweather got older and lost a step or two....I thought that maybe Cotto could challenge..but I was wrong...if Margarito can hit him that much then mayweather would hit him that much more

FYATroll · « **Reply #28 on:** December 09, 2008, 05:45:35 PM »

Well...Pacquiao basically ended De la Hoya's career and I'm stunned. I already believed Pacquiao was the best fighter in the world but now there is no doubt at all......and De La Hoya, even being older, should have won this fight if he had any heart at all...when your that much bigger you should be able to impose your will and walk through punches in the earler rounds..he couldn't...the fact that he was tko'd says all that needs to be said, he's done (already knew this too)

Anyway..long live Manny Pacquiao, the greatest fighter in the world today and quite frankly the most entertaining at the same time
