Jds got outstrucked by cain

You should definitely read the article =)
i think in the arena of mma generic terms are more appropriate that said i believe anderson is the better puncher
wtf? Diaz would box silva's ears off.
I LOVE GSP - wtf? Diaz would box silva's ears off.
Lol
I LOVE GSP - wtf? Diaz would box silva's ears off.
I just can't see a fighter who has some of the worst ring generalship in MMA being able to cut off the ring against someone who has some of the best.
Diaz would be failing to catch up all night, get beaten up to a decision and immediately the forums would be full of "still... if there had been 2 more rounds Nick would have had that".
Jack Slack -sparkuri -No love for KJ Noons?
(Skimmed, lol)
I have mad love for Noons but nobody wants to hear it =P
I do
Doem - I think Quinton is one of the best. Look at the way he rolls out of punches and throws counters. I don't think anybody at 205 could stand with him in a boxing match.
Except that glover did in his last fight and did just fine
Art Jimmerson.

To be fair Rampage has declined a long way. As much as Glover's raging fans hate me for saying it, he hardly looked good. It was the same as with Kingsbu and Maldonado - swinging the same two punches over and over without changing it up much at all.
If Glover had a well rounded boxing game he could have had Quinton out of there in 2 rounds with the shots he was connecting.
Good to see you atleast watched a little Cruz footage ;)
GSPsShadyHandWraps - Good to see you atleast watched a little Cruz footage ;)
Haha yeah. You know how long I've been waiting to write about him? I have drafts in my Bloody Elbow account =P
youve heard it a million times, but your stuff is always a great read man
great read as usual Jack. Any chance of doing a piece on Mcgregor soon?

Cain KOed tho ?
AlexanderTheGOAT -Jack Slack -^ I was about to say this. Silva is such a poor matchup for Diaz. Nick would chase him around the ring all night getting dropped from counters. People need to understand that Diaz has good hands but he NEEDS someone to stand right in front of him or come straight at him.I LOVE GSP - wtf? Diaz would box silva's ears off.

I don't know how badly Nick would get beat up, but he's got a wicked chin and he'd keep letting Silva move wherever he wanted. Nick would throw his hands out and accuse Silva of running and the MMA world would implode from all the butt hurt from both fighter's fans ;)
<blockquote>bazza76 - Honestly, I think Conor McGregor is a better pure boxer than any of them. For head movement, footwork, the correct technique in throwing punches, closing distance, accuracy, combinations, variety. I know we have seen little of him yet, but I think it is just a matter of time before he proves it. The coaching he got at Irish amateur level would have been top class. Everything is thought correctly, and the fighters then elaborate their own style based on the correct defence, footwork, punching style etc...</blockquote>
I love Conor, his boxing is incredible and he's going to be huge. Im Irish, and i know how good his coaching has been. I followed him in Cage Warriors and I have every right to say I think Conor has the best hands in the business. But i won't, because he hasn't earned that yet.
Conor has plenty of time to get this right, let's give it to him? WAR McGregor
PS. great article as always

I was coming into this thread to post this exact thing, except the being Irish part.
We haven't seen enough of Conor against elite competition to label him the best anything yet. So far in his career he's looked phenomenal, but let's see a bit more UFC fights before we give him the boxing crown.
Williambonney - Ever since the horrible hatchet job jack did in the Anderson vs jon jones post I don't even read these anymore (that one was such a joke I just assume all his posts are troll jobs now) but to me in terms of JDS and AS I'd say JDS is a better boxer and AS is the better striker
This is a piece of shit post. Good grief
Jack I have not watched boxing in a long while. What great boxers are out there today (or ever) that lead with their strong hand in general (meaning they do this consistently some of the time)? Is the theory that the right lead gives the opponent the left hook dead in our days?
What do you think of JDS moving straight TF backwards in his last fight (as opposed to circling to create angles) and the position of his gloves (defensive)?
In another thread a poster supplied some footage of Jack Johnson fights. He seemed to keep his hands near his hips a good deal of the time. Do you agree this is not tenable in the modern game?
TY Sir
