James Irvin vs Chuck Liddell?

Question

I would like to know peoples thoughts on this matchup. I personally think it would be a great fight and that Irvin would have a decent chance with his powerfull strikes similar to Liddells.

Answer 1

Irvin could give Chuck a run in grappling but Chuck clearly has the striking capability over him. I think Irvin's fight with Houston Alexander should have gone on but the ref saw different.

Answer 2

liddell would snipe him again and again until irvin takes a power nap.

unless irvin can force a clinch war and control from there.

but the striking goes to liddell on this one.

Answer 3

r u kidding me ur actually askin this?lol. liddell would destroy him. irvin isnt good at all. and no irvin wouldnt even have a decent chance. hes strikes arent even close to liddells where are you getting this info from?

Answer 4

It would definitly be quick. I think Liddell would win, because of his countering and Irvin's aggressiveness. Liddel would wait for that big bomb to miss and go over the top and land a bombof his own.

Answer 5

That's a good match up right there.  I always pick Chuck,  unless it's against Rampage,  but he is getting old.  This fight never happens though,  because the UFC has nothing to gain from it.  Either their old champion loses or one of their best young guys does.  The UFC is business first.

Answer 6

Liddell takes this one

Answer 7

that would be a good fight.

but i got a better one, kimbo vs. bob sapp. i hope elitexc is reading this.

Answer 8

I was just saying how no one talks about Irvin and how hes underrated,I would love to see that fight because they match up so well,it'd be a chess match on the feet and one for the ages in my opinion,they would stand and get after it till one fell.that or Wand vs Irvin would be another killwer fight to see
