The article was the same bs with what hardcore boxing fans say about MMA. The only part that really bugged me was when he said that no MMA fighter will ever have the skill or showmanship of De La Hoya. Maybe not showmanship, because De La Hoya is a huge name. But skill, come on lets look at Randy Couture, a world class wrestler. That takes plenty of skill if not more then boxing. There are so many more things you can do in wrestling then you can in boxing. And in order to be world class you have to pretty much great at all of them, because you never know what an oppenant is gonna throw at you. So yea, I am pretty sure Randy Couture has just as much skill if not more then De La Hoya.
