Comments like these make me sad as a fan of both sports.
The moment JDS went for a dummy uppercut or right cross to the body from outside range he would be staring at the lights wondering how he got himself in this mess.

What the point of saying you could knock out a guy you're never gonna fight? I dire he believes he COULD. He has too... He's a professional fighter, if he's not confident in a fight he already lost. But there is no need to make claims you will never have a handle to back up...

Would love to see him try and fight Wlad or Vitali.
I imagine it would end fairly quickly, JDS knocked out.
I know MMA maths doesn't work, however JDS couldn't knockout Roy Nelson, Arlovski could though, I reckon Wlad/Vitali could manage to KO Nelson, I also think they could take a better punch, Vitali especially, so JDS would have no chance.

JDS could knock out a f-ing elephant so I totally agree, if he could reach his chin, Wlad would go down......that said, i'm not so sure he would get in to land that power shot on such a good boxer with a big reach. Wlad would win.

I'm not sold on the argument that pro boxers would outclass all MMA fighters. MMA boxing is very different, just because a fighter fights one way in MMA doesn't mean he wouldn't be able to adapt his game to boxing. There are also a lot of fighters who weren't very technical but could brawl that have made good careers in boxing. Not to mention MMA fighters have a higher capacity for fight knowledge, as they have to incorporate all aspects of stand up and ground fighting. To think that the MMA elite wouldn't be able to develop great boxing technique seems odd. But I think we'll never know cause we haven't yet seen a great MMA fighter transition over.

Lets be here, Jones has some ugly hands lol.

Yes yes his opponents and the last "ko" looked super duper fake but still...could only think of Kimbo.

HOSS-Bork, you should spend more time brushing up on your MMA history, and less time complementing guys on how young their penises taste.

No biggy, just think its pointless and can cause drama were there need not be any. I don't think he meant anything by it personally... But you could take it to mean he's less humble yada yada yada.

What I find more odd is that you would discount a lifetime of training and crafting of skills catered specifically to that sport.
And the kimbo comment is fucking stupid. Let him fight even a mid tier boxer and see what happens.
Athleticism will carry you a long way but it is silly to think a guy could walk into the ring with a world champ and likely all time great and not only have success but finish him by ko.
