Adrien Broner isn't qualified to speak on anything non-Floyd related.

Bwahahaha.  What an idiot.  I do agree with him, though, in that physical skills are much more important than mental skills for boxers.  (And I suspect that his own mental limitations would keep him from ever being a top MMA fighter.)

There are mma fighters who also view MMA not as a sport. The reason is because MMA is the closet thing to real life combat without weapons. Sports, like boxing, aren't real life. MMA is as real as it gets.

With that said Broner is a retard. Boxers need to accept the fact that in a street fight a joe blow with 1 year mma training could take down their most revered boxing champions and bash their head in.

That's a pretty retarded statement in it's self.  Floyd isn't the biggest, fastest, or strongest, boxer on the planet.  What makes him the sport's best P4P fighter is his out of this world boxing IQ.

What difference would it make if you had Joe Blow and Tony two times waiting for you at your gym? ???

Of course MMA is a sport, just a boring one for non-MMA fans. No different than baseball.

Wait, I thought you and Rampage were homies?? Now you're training his opponent?

You were just trash talking Tito a few weeks back saying he was using swear words in front of youngblooded Christian boys, and that he was douche or some sh*t

I'm not training any of them and I politely told them.that. I've had it. I have never seen such a lack of work ethic in my life from any athlete from any sport. Rampage/Tito fight is Nov. 2 and Rampage is still 260. I just found out Kongo is fighting on the 28th of this month and hasn't even started camp yet. I'm fucking DONE. The last one I have is Jay Silva for KSW24 this month. The only reason why I'm training him is because I promised him before I decided to end training fighters.

I've always had a love hate relationship with these guys when it come to training. They will always be friends but I'm done training them after Jay.

He is a douche. He acted like an ass in front of high school kids.

In all seriousness i have gotten into MMA a fair bit over the last couple of years what i hate is the tap out wearing fan boys who havent got a fucking clue, ive had BJJ teachers tell me how dangerous a HW boxer is in a fight, to get him down you have to step into his punching range and you have no idea how fast hard and accurate these guys hit.

Tyson used to be scary dangerous. Now he is more scary looking but could def throw me a ass beating.

I prefer watching boxing over MMA, but many amateur MMA fighters would kill Broner if you locked the 2 up in a room and turn off the camera.

Tyson had the size, weight, strength (especially lower body to help him resist takedowns at a decent rate), quickness, and most importantly the animal mentality (bite, poke, grab, knee, etc.) to give MMA guys trouble. Broner is a weak punching girl 140 lb soaking wet and looks up to most men. A small guy who only uses half his tools (hands vs hands and legs) is at a serious disadvantage. It's very difficult to KO someone when that someone isn't willing to trade blows. It's not difficult to submit or choke out Broner.

Broner has no credibility in this matter and is in no position to talk.

BJJ teachers were teaching you about takedowns?  Pure BJJ guys aren't exactly known for their takedowns.  (In my experience, nost BJJ sparring starts from the knees.)  So, for them, getting into punching range to take a boxer down is going to be a daunting task, for sure.  For many wrestlers, OTH, I don't think it's so difficult.  If I weren't too lazy to google I'd find video of Sakuraba shooting his low single and then let you judge how many boxers would have hands fast and accurate enough to catch him on the way in.  (IIRC, Couture also used a low single to take down James Toney in that joke of an MMA fight.)

That's a pretty retarded statement in it's self.  Floyd isn't the biggest, fastest, or strongest, boxer on the planet.  What makes him the sport's best P4P fighter is his out of this world boxing IQ.

Fair enough.  To be honest, it's possible that Broner was including the mental side of the game when he was talking about how only certain special folks could become boxing champions.  (Though I doubt it -- Sounded like he really wanted to talk about "blathleticism", actually.)
