As much as I would like 2 see this fight happen, i doubt it ever will due 2 Mayweather, etc. and the boxing promoters being frightened and/or 2 greedy, plain and simple. But if it ever (somehow) did, then what would be more interesting and fair would be if the MMA and boxing world put its best fighters at each weight-class (or a catch-weight) so the world could see why being a 'fighter;, as opposed 2 a 'boxer', takes much more skill and a larger variation of styles...

It will probably never happen, but imagine:

Heavyweight (205lbs+)
Fedor Emelianenko (Pride Champion) vs. Wladimir Klitschko (IBF)
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira v. Shannon Briggs (WBO Champion)

Light-Heavyweight (205lbs)
Chuck Liddell (UFC LHW Champion) vs. Jean-Marc Mormeck (WBC/WBA/The Ring CW Champion)
Mauricio Rua/Wanderlei Silva vs. Krzysztof Wlodarczyk (IBF CW Champion)

Middleweight (185 lbs)
Dan Henderson (Pride Champion) vs. Bernard Hopkins (The Ring LHW Champion)
Matt Lindland vs. Clinton Woods (IBF LHW Champion)

Welterweight (170lbs)
Georges St. Pierre vs. Joe Calzaghe (WBO/The Ring SMW Champion)
Matt Hughes vs. Jermain Taylor (WBC/WBO/The Ring SMW Champion)

Lightweight (155lbs)
BJ Penn vs. Oscar de la Hoya (WBC SWW Champion)
Sean Sherk (UFC WW Champion) vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.

This would break all PPV records in history... and finally solidify MMA's acceptance amongst the mainstream... IF ONLY...

PBF would never fight Sherk in a cage, unless he had his whole possee w/him in there, ala kimbo slice v Gannon. And even then, he'd be whipped like a redheaded stepchild.

It would be nice to see Sherk laughing at ringside after DeLaHoya KOs that lipsmacking fool. Thats right...I picked DeLaHoya!

They should have Sherk enter the ring and announce he will be replacing DeLa Hoya. Full contact rules. Mayweather would shit himself, Literally. Now wearing the white trunks with the huge brown stain in the seat....PBF pussy boy floyd. That would be great!

so if Mayweather accepts, when he beats Sherk, does that mean he has to fight BJ Penn?


I'm just kidding.

I didn't like Mayweather dissing MMA, but he really never said he could beat an MMA fighter. All he did was criticize MMA fighters because they were... well... poor boxers. He made some statement how Chuck would get knocked out if he tried to box with a top level boxer, and I think everyone pretty much knows that's true.

Even so, I'm looking forward to Sherk getting up in his face.

I can't imagine they'll let Sherk anywhere near PBF or a mic.

if they do, they're idiots, and they deserve whatever friction he can cause...
