Lt. Al Giardello

I almost forgot about him, I could easily see him fighting Tito Ortiz in November, but Ortiz/Griffin 2 would generate more interest.

Don't ever compare Chuck Liddell to Roy Jones Jr... Roy Jones Jr has the phyiscally grifts to allow him to keep his hands that low, Liddell doesn't have a quarter the speed Roy Jones in his prime did. Add into the fact that Roy Jones never faced a great boxer in his prime. My point was that low hands and the like doesn't necessarily mean bad boxing, although Roy Jones' insane hand speed did make up for it. But you're right, this is pointless. You shouldn't bring up your personal skills though because like you said it is pointless. But you're saying his boxing is bad which is why he would have problems with Silva. My point is, just because someone has great cred in another combat sport, doesn't mean it equates to MMA. Who cares if Vitor would beat him in a boxing match? If he gets his ass knocked down in the fight, then clearly his hands aren't as good overall as Chuck's, regardless of how much better a boxer he is in a boxing ring. If anything, Chuck beating him in the standup in a real fight proves my point of how a great background doesn't necessarily imply it will work better in a real fight. Vitor has the better boxing credentials and is more technical in that sense. Guess what happened when they fought a fight almost entirely on the feet? Chuck beat him convincingly. Cael Sanderson would own Chuck in wrestling. Put Cael in a fight with him in MMA. Chuck isn't as good an amateur wrestler, but for some reason I don't think Cael would take him down once. Do you see what I'm trying to say here? Yeah I understand what your saying, that's the point I was trying to make. Roy Jones was never a techincally great boxer, he just relyed on his physical gifts, which is the main reason why I think if him or Hopkins ever fought in their primes, Hopkins would win. And no I didn't say his boxing is the reason why he would have problems with Silva, it's more of him keeping his hands too low. Liddell has a good chin, but in his prime, he hasen't faced a great striker like Silva. But like I said, I don't know who will win, which makes me pump up to see it.

No they don't. The Hornets are returning to NO fulltime after this season. Infact they are playing some games in NO this season.

I know I could easily outbox Chuck if he has the same stance he has for MMA, in boxing. I have very good head movement and his looping punches wouldn't connect. But if he landed anything, I would be KO'd no question because he is a much bigger and stronger man then me. MMA standards he has great stand-up, but should he enter boxing, any journeyman or anyone with decent skills would knock him out, most likely. And I don't hate Chuck at all, I have nothing against him, I respect him alot. There's nothing to hate about him, he seems like a stand up guy in interviews(Even though a buddy of mine who is an MMA fighter says he's cocky in real life). He has one of the best MMA career's possibly of all time. If I was hater, I would say he would stand no chance with Silva, but I said the fight is 50/50 to me. Bullshit, he's been in the ring in front of thousands of people 20+ times against opponents that are a thousand times better than the 40 year old washed up boxers you spar against. I don't reckon he'd have any trouble outboxing you and then knocking your block off. I don't spar with 40+ year old washed up boxers.. I spar with some of the best amauter boxers in my province. I've sparred with Dale Brown(Who is a top Cruiserweight contender for many years). But whatever, discussing this is useless because none of you know me. I don't really care.

I've had 86 amatuer fights... and have won provinical tournaments, and maybe a member of the 2008 Olympic Canadian Amatuer team, should I chose to continue to box(Which is unlikely now, because I'm going to College in the fall for a journalism major). But either way, me boxing Chuck Liddell is a pointless subject, because I fight at 154, and Chuck is 205. If Chuck were to fight Vitor Belfort in a boxing match, Belfort would win. I feel if I beefed up to Heavyweight, and Chuck decided to box me under amatuer rules, I would outbox him very easily. He's a Kickboxer and MMA, doesn't mean he'll rip shit in boxing. Have you seen him punch? Most his punches are very lopping. I'm not knocking on his standup, because MMA standards, it's very good, but if Chuck entered boxing, he would get his head knocked off by any decent HW or Cruiserweight with skills.

Don't ever compare Chuck Liddell to Roy Jones Jr... Roy Jones Jr has the phyiscally grifts to allow him to keep his hands that low, Liddell doesn't have a quarter the speed Roy Jones in his prime did. Add into the fact that Roy Jones never faced a great boxer in his prime.

Call me crazy, but I would build Carlito Vs. Edge for the RAW ME at Wrestlemania. After Summerslam, Edge should be champion, I'd have him fued with Shawn Michaels, and have HHH fued with Orton. As for Cena, possible ECW fued? Chris Masters? Nitro? Whatever, he's character is getting way to stale for me. He needs to stop main eventing and be in the upper midcard for a bit. In the mid-card, I would give Umaga the IC title, and ship off Benjamin to SD! or ECW.

Am I the only one who marked when Umaga beat Cena?

In your opinion, but as a Nets fan, I strongly dissagree. Despite what you may think, Eddie Jordan had more part in the Nets succes then Byron Scott. Even ask Jason Kidd. His system that he build around Kidd with the fast break was awesome. He's very good about keying in on his stars players succes. Look at Arenas. Frank is good no doubt, but I just feel his time has ran up, and we should get a new coach. Are you retarded? He's coached 2.5 years, and got a Nets team with no bench to 49 wins. His time hasn't ran up at all, as Ripper said, he's doing the best he could with what he's been given. And Frank's a better coach then Jordan, I love the Nets, but the years they made it to the Finals were awful years for the East. Stop with your childish insults... Eddie Jordan never had Vince Carter or Kristic on his team either so it works both ways.

I think the fight is 50/50... As a boxer, I see flaws big time in Chuck's stand up that Silva and expolit. Chuck keeps his hands WAY too low... and most of his punches are very lopping.

I find it funny, Meltzer is so sure that Silva will lose to Liddell...

Even though you claim your girlfriend said it, big no homo to this post.

Well it looks like Leben will be back on Aug 17 UFN 6 against Jorge Santiago.

How many Chris Bosh games have you seen? He's a better shot blocker then LeBron, and is pretty good defensively. And he has more then just a post game, his mid range shot is pretty good, there's no way you can convince me that LeBron plays a better power foward then Chris Bosh.

Bosh plays the PF position better then LeBron, it'd be better to have some who is an actual PF, starting the role. With Kobe, I'd take Arenas out and have Wade running point... Here would be my full roster, with Kobe, and A.I.: C - Dwight Howard PF - Chris Bosh SF - LeBron James SG - Kobe Bryant PG - Dwyane Wade Gilbert Arenas Allen Iverson Carmelo Anthony Chris Paul Amare Stoudimare Elton Brand Shawn Marion

Kobe's not playing this summer, didn't you hear already?

I think Griffin has got this one. He's became a more improved fighter since TUF, while Bonnar hasen't. I watch Bonnar/Southworth this morning again, I thought Southworth took it.

I really hope the UFC puts Griffin/Ortiz 2 in the Silva/Liddell undercard. That would be a great card.

If I was running the team my starting line would be... Arenas Wade LeBron Bosh Howard

Who cares??? It's not like she's ugly... I'd fuck her in a second.

I heard Eddie Jordan signed and extention. As much as I like Lawrence Frank. I wish Eddie would come back to Jersey.

I think this fight is too soon, but whatever... Griffin should win again.

I didn't mind Henry. He isn't that bad. Aside from his match with Angle at RR, he's had a few decent matches. His match with Taker at WM was entertaining, and his matches with Rey were good also.
