This is his exact quote. He thinks there are thousand of people out there who could beat up top tier ufc talent (ie: Jon Jones)
Please remind me again why this is not a retarded argument and how I'm in the wrong? Don't you have some Serena Williams thread to start?
No reasonable non-retarded human beings interpret "top UFC talent" to mean "the best fighter in the game".
Also, good to hear I'm in your head.

Is that why when making the comparison with boxing, he mentions Floyd Mayweather in the same breath? Keep trying.....

You're stupid if you think mma fighters make more than boxers.

"In America yes. Vladimir Klitchko better than Tyson"
It literally amazes me how often I completely disagree with you on everything. You are so off on so many topics it is scary. I can also tell you're fairly young as well. Tyson on his worst day s###s all over Klitchko. Comparing the dominance and fame of Klitchko to Tyson is silly at best and clueless at worse.

The Klitschkos should be huge over here....household names.
I'll preface my statement by mentioning that I haven't kept up with boxing for about 10 years, but I recall the Klitschko's being typical heartless European fighters who tend to fold in the face of adversity. I remember the Byrd, Lewis, Brewster, and Sanders fights. Along with other heartless or overrated Europeans in Andrew Golota, Herbie Hide and Frank Bruno, I don't think the American public is very interested in a division that's dominated by Europeans. The heavyweight division must be pure dreck if the Klitschkos are the dominant fighters.
Wow, looking at the Ring's ratings for the first time in 10 plus years, boxing in general has really changed.

And do some research Vitali Klitschko is the most dominant boxer ever by far.
- Never trailed on the cards at any point in any fight
-Never been knocked out
-Never even been knocked down
-Best KO ratio of any Heavyweight champion in the history of boxing
-2nd oldest heavyweight champion ever(not positive about this but pretty sure)
Oh and FYI Wladimir Klitschko and Vitali Klitschko are not the same person

It's been dead. Boxing itself is pretty much dead

Rahman over Lewis

The issue is that all of our great physical specimens play football, basketball, baseball. All of potential heavyweight champs play def. end or middle linebacker in the NFL, play the 4 or 5 for a NBA team, or 1st base for a MLB team. As an example, Lebron James' measuables equate to Lennox Lewis. Hell Bryce Harper is bigger than Mike Tyson.......

Yup. Imagine Jadeveon Clowney as an up and coming boxer. If he were training for boxing instead of football, he'd be significantly leaner. Something like 6-6, 240. Vitali would have his hands full.

Never fight a man with cauliflower ear..words to live by.
And also I agree with the Vitali > Tyson.
