James Toney's lopsided UFC loss Saturday does not mean boxers can't compete with wrestlers. It means boxers that train in a buffet line can't compete with wrestlers in wrestling. Fine me a mixed martial arts fight in which the combatants don't wrestle. I've seen guys knocked out with a punch before going to the mat, but such results are rare. A boxer in the Octagon is like a sprinter running a marathon. Except that sprinters are in shape. Toney chose not to be.

Good one. Dont you just love these 2 ton lardazz so called athletes with 200 lbs of nasty fat dripping off their guts and azzez looking like seasoned welfare mamas? Its not only boxing its all sports today. Lean and mean used to be the desired norm but now its obese and puzzified. We saw this in the Beijing Olympics too. Size matters not.
