David Haye on James Toney trying MMA

"Six months of training isn’t going to be enough," Haye said. "As a UFC fan, I know two or three years wouldn’t be enough. How many times has Toney sprawled in his life? 500? How many leg kicks has he taken in his life? 300? How many Kimura attempts has he defended? 140? Even if he’s done double that amount, he wouldn’t have nearly the experience needed to win a UFC fight."

"I know from training in MMA myself that the wrestling aspect ruins your punching power," Haye said. "After a minute of grappling, your arms, back and shoulders fill with blood and even if you then find space to throw punches, your power is suddenly crap.

"And I hit a lot harder and I’m so much faster than James, and I couldn’t land a punch on fighters when all they wanted to do was take me down to the ground. James is a much more static fighter than I am, and is going to get thrown on his back immediately by Randy. I admire Toney’s spirit and boxing skills. But he’s delusional here."

How about he focuses on his career

I actually agree with Haye, for once he's said a sensible thing.

How about Haye shutting the fuck up for once. Until he fights a Klit David Gaye should never speak.

Are people even bothering to read the quote, what he said was rational and sane.

i got your back on this one ali i agree w/ everything haye said

I read it. It said "Blah Blah Blah I am David Gaye. You need to listen to what I have to say. I have a HW trinket. I will not fight the Klits because I am a little Bitch. Blah Blah Blah James Toney is no good because I have a HW trinket. Blah Blah Blah leg kick. I know everything because I am David Gaye."

Isnt that what he said?

I know Haye is a douchebag trash talker but he hasn't took a shot at Toney here, just pointing out that even with the right training it's going to be difficult for him inside MMA.

Tell that to the negger.
LOL hell yeah. Green nation took a hit with the Ward loss but we will come back strong in the Kessler fight.

There isn't any beef here, I just didn't find Mark's comment amusing, no big deal.

No I am pissed I want you out of my house. Unless there is makeup sex.

Its a joke Ali dont you scot's have a sense of humor?

I detest Haye. He is an egomaniac who has no heart and has been writing checks that his body can't cash.

That being said, what he stated makes sense to me.

Question: What current fighters today would be able to transition to MMA given a couple years of training (I watch a little MMA but not much so I don't feel that qualified to offer an opinion)?

I don't agree with Haye having no heart, he's came back from knockdowns and bad cuts to win his fights.

The best qualified to enter MMA from boxing would probably be Kermit Cintron, he has a wrestling background.
