I'm not gonna sit here and say "I'd be really good".
Lying is not one of my strong suits.
I'd probably be incredible, and extremely humble about it, very likeable and always "in the mix", as far as GOATS go.
I'd have retired around 30 and opened a pain clinic, then a pharmaceutical company, then run for President, which I'd win, believe me.

Not good at all.No way would I have given up eating whatever I wanted or to stop partying.There was just too much to sacrifice.I would have stood a better chance at boxing.

I`ve always been tall & had a long reach.I watched boxing religiously since the 70`s.I had darn good cardio in my 20`s & more street fights that I care too mention.Body shots would have been my cryptonite on my near skeleton frame.

Id probably dominate the regional circuit but would only do well in the lower tier big show fights.

Id definitely go to Bellator were they actually care about their fighters.

I have decent striking but im terrible at grappling.

So if i lay a paw on the guy in the First round its over. Anything after that would be a crap shoot.

Id be known as "El Perro Magnifíco"( The Magnificent Dog) more lover than fighter.

I would have trained hard to increased
my height by several inches to become the tallest fighter of all time.

I'd start my career at my present height of 5'9 and retire undefeated at a height of 9'5.

I'd be a middleweight BJ Penn......Considering I have weird bendy leg's like he does( Used to be able to put my leg behind my head standing up....but really double jointed every where ) and also a love of sweetened pork that is unmatched.

Athletically, I would score high. Fighting experience, virtually zero. Last fist fight was when I was 13. You could say I'm a lover, not a fighter, and never really ran into situations where I had to fight.

I don't even know if I can take a good shot, or have the mental toughness to overcome a beat down. I've never been tested.

Hard question to answer unless I have trained or been in enough street fights.

I have some Judo and I've had a couple unlicensed boxing matches - won won by KO and lost won via ref stopping the fight.

I'd have sucked at MMA though, a couple of boxing matches was enough to convince me the fight game wasn't for me. The punches don't really hurt during the fight, but fuck me it stings in the morning.

Not well, had a few things working against me. Have asthma, & with meds I'm fine but I doubt the commissions would allow it. Also, my eyes aren't deep set, my dad was a boxing trainer & had me in a silver gloves tourney & I caught a stiff jab in the eye & had blurry vision for a few days, the doc told me it wasn't a matter of if, but when, I'd get a detached retina. The women love em though, don't feel too bad for me

BUT, if my eye & asthma issues didn't exist, I think I'd be the GOAT. Very fast hands & feet, great feints & knew to hammer the ribs from a young age. Had some athletic ability, played college basketball on a scholarship, & once I learned to wrestle & BJJ I don't think there was ever a fighter that could beat me, I would've been like the create a player on sports video game where you max out every category. I can still light up the heavybag like nobody else at the gym these days, people are impressed but they have no idea they are in the presence of a would-be GOAT if things fell his way. I feel sad for them

If I had my knowledge and skill set now in my 25 year old body, I would be a top MW/LHW in the UFC or Pride (that would've been 16 years ago). Nowadays I've sparred against active MMA fighters, and I've tapped out a few who are waaaaay undercard in the UFC (they are blue belts, I SHOULD be tapping them out), but at my age, I'd not even make the UFC.
