    I agree.

    Boxing is a good sport and it's a solid striking sport/martial art, but it's very, very limiting when it comes to fighting and it uses the most brittle weapons the body has I might add. This is why Boxers who come into MMA with just Boxing don't do very well.
    I'm saying white dudes are naturally stronger (generally) because of muscle composition. This isn't some sort of controversy, its science... Slow twitch fibers are good for grappling and other things predominate in MMA that require crazy muscle endurance.. You just don't run into situations in boxing where you're flexing entire upper body muscle groups because you're in a half guard or whatever.

    And please spare me the "superior martial art" argument man... Don't feel like doing that for the 1000th time.
