they make it sound like white threw toney to the wolves simply because he was a boxer... and although there may be a kernal of truth to that, james toney followed white around and begged him for a fight while saying to anyone who would listen that he could beat any mma fighter... so he got couture... and couture isnt the best anymore, he couldve got worse... but it would have been an insult to put anyone else up against toney... randy couture is in a unique position where he can still fight but wont be champ again, so he just wants to have fun now... i bet if mir, lesnar or any of those guys were asked to fight toney they would have said no, nothing worth gaining from that fight...
pacquiao may do ok, but he's not ufc caliber... once somebody is a superstar, how do they start at the bottom again... he cant fight local events he's too popular, and he isnt good enough to fight in national or international mma fights...

Agreed. Not unless he spends alot of time on takedown defense and ground skills. Otherwise it will be a repeat of the Couture/Toney fight.Originally Posted by Dragonzbane76
quick takedown, then G&P to submit.

I'd watch it though, at least.
I was on the metro earlier, deep in meditation, when a ruffian came over and started causing trouble. He started pushing me with his bag, steadily increasing the force until it became very annoying. When I turned to him, before I could ask him to stop, he immediately started hurling abuse like a scoundrel. I performed a basic chin na - carotid artery strike combination and sent him to sleep. The rest of my journey was very peaceful, and passersby hailed me as a hero - Warrior Man

everybody would watch it... if the mayweather fight doesnt happen maybe this would be a good alternative for him... in boxing, whos he gonna fight??? who can beat him???
it wpould have to be his people that put it on tho, and he'd have to find an opponent that is basically just a striker that has so far been a good enough striker that he hasnt had much need for a ground game... takedown defence is enough for some...
NIII
any other news on this???
randomness is key
I agree. he would have to spend time working on his wrestling, submission, takedown defense and kickboxing before seriously considering to even compete in MMA. Just because you're a boxer doesn't mean you can automatically fight in MMA. You're not worried about being submitted, or taken down or kicked in your legs in boxing. MMA you do.

He's fighting Margarito in Nov.
Also he was just elected as a congressman in the Philippines.

So, you know, he might be a little busy.
If he were to try it, and I don't think he will, he is known for ridiculously strong legs, so the crossover might (and its a big might) not be that difficult for him to make. Roach has some experience training UFC guys. I don't Roach think would approve of it though.
Of course anyone who fights him is going straight for the take down. To try to face him standing up would be insane.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/boxing...134724436.htmlManny Pacquiao may not fight in the U.S. again, according to Bob Arum
Bob Arum, boxing great Manny Pacquiao's promoter, doesn't think the Filipino fighter will fight in the U.S. Again. According to the Los Angeles Times, the culprit is taxes.
"By fighting outside the country, as he’s doing in this Rios fight, Manny doesn’t have to pay U.S. taxes anymore – at a rate of 40% for a foreign
athlete," Arum said. "If this pay-per-view and other things take off like we think they may, I can’t imagine Pacquiao will ever again fight in the U.S.”
Pacquiao is fighting Brandon Rios in Macau, China on Nov. 23. The fight will take place in the morning in China so that American consumers can still watch it on Saturday night. A similar arrangement was used during the Beijing Olympics for prime events like gymnastics and swimming.
Chinese consumers will also be able to buy the fight for just $5, adding to the money from pay-per-views in America and elsewhere. Arum said they could generate $10-$20 million in sales for this event.
But not having the most popular boxer in the world not fight in the U.S. again hurts. His last 14 fights were in the U.S., including two bouts in Dallas at Cowboys Stadium.

don't blame him if they are taking 40% that's a chunk.at a rate of 40% for a foreign
athlete
