ah, youre probably right - I posted that when I was drunk. But I do think, from the limited fights I watched on youtube when I was arguing all this that St Pierre lacks gameness and heart. He struck me as a bully boy fighter... strong and powerful and destructive, but not prepared mentally to really come through a war.
Whatever the pro's and con's of MMA is, its a much faster and more high impact event than a boxing match. Either way most fights are done in three rounds (I searched on wiki and Pierre has never been longer than 3 rounds in a UFC match).
If someone takes a fighter like that into the late rounds in a real war, thats when they get found out often. (like Douglas vs Tyson... Tyson went on a run and knocked a lot of people down quickly and bullied them: Douglas didnt go down and Mike didnt have an answer)
