Let me simplify things and make only one point at a time, in the hope that I can get a response from the many MMA fans.
1 - You have stated that Timbo Slice is more skillful than Ray Mercer, who was good enough to stretch Lennox Lewis, and hold a recognised heavyweight title.
2 - For WHAT REASON does Timbo Slice prefer to brawl on the streets for the entertainment of internet fans with Boston police, if he is a better fighter than a world champion of a sport like boxing?
If he was fighting in MMA and earning good purses... fine. But he wasnt. He was an illegal bare knuckle fighter: cos he wasnt good enough to box to any kind of level. Presumably his own real talent was his viciousness and readiness to strike at the groin or strangle an opponent.
But please, tell me why I am wrong. Tell me WHY it is better to fight in high rise car parks in front of illegal gamblers and webcams; rather than to compete in a globally recognised sport that that is historically and currently defined as holding the ultimate championshop of manliness?
And at the risk of asking a second question in one post... if you now openly retract Timbo Slice as the champion of MMA, who do you now say is the best fighter of this circus? I am not prepared to research and destory every lout who ever competed in this thing... tell me now who you call the best. Hughes, Silva, Pierre, Gracie, whoever it is... give me your champion, and I will research him.... I do not doubt that he will be found wanting under severe analysis.
