In fact, I never stated I could beat Jackson, precisely because I havent viewed his fights at length.

I dont think that I am a great athlete, you are getting my point - deliberately - he wrong way round. I have said every time I consider myself average in skill and strength. The point I am making is that MMA fighters are also average in terms of skill, and a high level of fitness could be achieved by anyone with sufficient commitment and training.

In fact, I did a 6 week long Judo course when I was about 10 - so when peopple say the Pierre started training in Karate at 8 - I know what this means, I know how serious these sort of classes are, and I know it means nothing.

My sporting background is that I played football (soccer) for my school, for a local junior team, and then for a local senior team until I was 22.

I played cricket for school and university, and also hockey for my school.

At 15 I won the House 100 metre race, but finished last in the overall school race.

I play in a local badminton league and finished 2nd out of 22. I also play in a local squash league, and I am in the third out of 6 leagues.

I play badminton on average twice a week, and occasionally play squash or five a side football.

I am about 100 lbs overweight, but relatively active.

I have always been able to pick up any sport and play to an ok level, but have never excelled in anything.

SO:

I do not claim to be a supreme athlete, I claim, again, that I am an average man, and that the skill level of MMA is such that with 6 months training I could compete and have a good chance of beating Timbo Slice.
