How to prove to a friend that BOXING is better then UFC

Put Chuck Liddell in a cage with Fedor and it would be another "bloody slaughterfest you fool" That may or may not be, and could be a whole other debate... but the point I am making (that I notice many others have made) is that you can't compare elite athletes from 2 different sports. Plus, boxers (Mercer. Botha etc) havent done great at K1 so it just goes to illustrate my point. I personally like both sports and that's allowed.

Denis Law did alright for us as well, so did Schmeichel. Kanchelskis was a bit of a waste though. But in any case I'm not keen on red in any shade, unless it's the blood of my opponents! Seriously, our scrabble games can get quite heated. "Id" is a word, woman!

a world champion boxer would kill a world champion mixed martial artist( not ko but kill) with those 4oz gloves. boxing is a science that has been getting perfected for over 150 years, mixed martial arts is still trying to figure out what techniques are more effective. your buddy probably thinks that submissions would make the difference. if submissions were the dominant technique no one would practice striking. a pro boxers timing is so precise a grappler would get his face split comming in for a takedown. theres a reason the difference in %age of losses in the best mixed martial artists is so much greater than the best boxers, the level of skill and precision of technique is just much greater in boxing. if martial artist could fight for million dollar purses, they would, instead of fighting for a few thousand dollars. boxing at the elite level requires complete dedication, you cant compete for a title and also work at the hardware store if you want to succeed. maybe in fifty years they will be comparable, but right now its like and1 versus the spurs. well it depend on the boxer and the fighter he is fighing but usually MMA have an advantage of many tools. so he could use any of the tool to defeat a boxer for example a kick on the leg for a boxer is very hard to deal because he most adapeted to upper attack. i not trying to defend any sport but i taking it to something logic. For me boxing is more intersting and it more of a sport that the MMA stuff like Pride UFC and other similar things. but you cant really say to have a complete fighter is someone who is good at nearly all martial art including boxing as well as have good stragty in beating oponents

Blue is better because Manchester Ciy play in blue and the Scum play in red. Yes i know scum play in red. So do the mickey mousers and i fuckin hate them. But on the other hand Forest play in red ( although slightly different shade called Garribaldi Red) Plus Stuart Pearce is a True Reds Legend, Young Nige did ok for you lot too so come on Reconsider your opinion. What about if I say Red is better than blue if it is the Garribaldi shade would that help change your mind? Come on Leicester play in Blue. What about Red is better than blue if it is the Garribaldi shade. Or Red is better than Darker shades of Blue or Lighter Shades of Blue are generaly better than Man u, Liverpool type shades of red as a compromise.

Agree... I don't see why somebody that respects boxing, wouldn't respect MMA though. The Ancient Greeks used to have MMA fights. I agree with what you say, except the part about ancient greeks. In ancient greece it was cool for an adult man, to have a personal teenager fuck-buddy (his "eromenes"). by cool i do not mean it was ok, i mean it was cooler than banging your woman, which was seen by many as something you had to do. so well basically if greeks did it, it does not mean one should respect it. EDIT: i realize this might sound homophobic, what i mean is greeks did lots of weird shit

Blue is better because Manchester Ciy play in blue and the Scum play in red. lol thats good...

could you proof that red is better than blue? Blue is better because Manchester Ciy play in blue and the Scum play in red.

You cant prove it because its jut an opinion...I do agree with you but it just isnt possible to convince people of an opinion

Ricky Hatton would be good at UFC

well you cant convince them or proof one thing is better than another because it all based on tast and opoins. could you proof that red is better than blue? or apples are better than oranges? Red is Better than blue. oranges rule.

well you cant convince them or proof one thing is better than another because it all based on tast and opoins. could you proof that red is better than blue? or apples are better than oranges? you could easily get a banana and apple and write the words boxing on banana and ufc on the apple....tell him to turn around bend over and stick the bananna up his ass and ask if he likes boxing now!

im sure this was probably talked about millions of times..but all of my frends think that ufc is better and more dangerous than boxing since they can hit on the floor,kick,small gloves n shit..so wut can i say to prove to them that boxing is 5000x better then ufc? well you cant convince them or proof one thing is better than another because it all based on tast and opoins. could you proof that red is better than blue? or apples are better than oranges?

i dont see the point of this arguement over which is better..... is basketball better than football?? mma and boxing are two different sports, both have their share of exciting fights and boring ones..

just tell him you respect MMA, but you prefer boxing. Don't lower yourself to the level of bashing another sport...people look ignorant when they do that. Agree... I don't see why somebody that respects boxing, wouldn't respect MMA though. The Ancient Greeks used to have MMA fights.

He really thought wrestling could beat any other form of fighting. In reality......it is the ultimate fight style. You close the distance between you and your opponent and you don't get struck thereby using your physical strength to your advantage. Almost all Mixed Martial Artists rely on wrestling/grappling to win fights and it's the most widely taught Martial Art in the Military. Soldiers are taught to strangle the air supply of their enemy and break limbs. Not stand up and flick arm punches at them.

You really can't convince your friend. He is an MMA fan. Once someone is a fan of something, they think it's better than anything else. I had a friend who used to wrestle and said that no matter if you did Karate or boxed, wrestling was the best. He really thought wrestling could beat any other form of fighting.

Boxing requires a more specialized skillset but the UFC fighters are much more well rounded in what they have to work with and what they have to deal with. I'd put my money on the MMA guys, particulary Pride contestants, in a street fight over the boxers. The boxer can win if he lands a punch early but once the MMA gets his hands on the boxer, it's as good as over. To address the main point: Show him some highly competitive WARS and if he's not into them he'll probably never be a boxing fan. In that case, just move on and accept it.
