I have always felt that if somebody had the skills to be a boxer, he would be a boxer. MMA pays much less, with only about 10 guys making any real money. Even pro wrestling pays much less than boxing, and you get injured much more often. Boxers also don't fight 3 or 4 times a week, as wrestlers do. Fake or not, some of those tricks just about kill you.

So, I would favor boxers over MMA guys. But that doesn't mean that Toney will beat Randy Couture.

The worst fight I ever saw was Ali and Inoki. Boring. Of course, neither could afford to lose, according to their accountants. <G> Gorilla Monsoon did bodyslam Ali and knock him unconcious in an "unscheduled" match to hype the Inoki match. I love the Gorilla, but there is no way he could have done that without ticket sales on the line.
