Smack Talking Fighters who could/can back it up

Some folk are miffed about Chael's comments regarding Andy's wife. That ain't nothing compared to Mike Tyson threatening to eat Razor Ruddock's kids:

Now that's talking smack. What Chael is doing is funny but pales in comparison to prime Tyson. But at least both guys could/can back it up with serious fighting skills. Tyson fought to finish guys. Chael fights to finish guys. That's what you gotta do when you talk **** - to make it count.

Tito kinda did that until he started fighting guys at his level then he became a joke. Like boxing's Hector Camcho - you knew the talking meant **** because either he fought to survive (De La Hoya) or fought bums (old Sugar Ray Leonard). It's just silly. Hell, as much as I think Lesnar is a hillbilly, he's still a dangerous hillbilly. Not as tough as he thinks but still pretty damn tough. So the swagger works.

Name 'em?

I can't really think of anyone who talked a ton of smack and backed it up.

Diaz comes to mind, but he's faltered plenty when it comes to that (both of them). Chael is one - but he's really only doing the whole "smack talking" thing with Anderson and not anyone else. Lesnar did it, but he's been beaten and has backed off of it a bunch too.

to be fair, Chael is 0-1 in fights where he talked smack

he's 0.5-0.5 in title fights.

one of the most recent fights i can think of is tony bonello/murilo rua. tony was talkng so much shiit during the refs instructions and got knocked out three minutes later. very funny.

YEah, but that's literally the EXACT OPPOSITE of "talking smack and backing it up"
