Theres the occasional BOXER like James Toney and Tommy Morrison who HATE MMA and UFC.
And theres the occasion MMAer (?) like Dana White who HATES Boxing.
But for the most part, these fighters would LOVE to co-exist. Roy Jones, Floyd Mayweather (who recently said he respected the sport), Manny Pacquiao, Bernard Hopkins (who invited Cotour to his training camp), and Kermit Cintron love both sports but compete in BOXING.
Rany Coutore (?), Kimbo Slice, Tito Ortiz, and even Joe Rogan!!! Rogan says hes a boxing fan.
I dont think we can blame anybody but ourselves for starting this whole UFC vs BOXING debate.
Us boxing fans were making fun of the UFC when it was less popular then boxing, calling it a fad when it was still precieved as a fad.
We started this "war" thingy a long time ago.
Anyway, i thought it was funny how everyone but the fighters are agruing about which sport is better, as most fighters have tons of respect for each sport and would much rather co-exist
Thanks. Honest, I'm a fan of both. I train mma, so I box and do BJJ. I'm on record as saying boxers are tougher, the human body is just not designed for that type of punishment. I admit my ground game is better than my standup. And I'm one of those guys who says the boxer wins at boxing, and the mma guy wins in mma.
Just want you to see where I'm coming from.
I think this post is dead solid perfect.
You again? :lol1: :wank:
I'd rather debate this with 1bad if you don't mind..
The guy actually has something to say and has proven himself to be intelligent unlike yourself.

all you do is login and tit about bullshit daily. you DO troll. we aren't shitting up the mma part of this forum, so why are you up over in our forum with the daily bullshit? haven't you gotten a clue yet? Nobody. Gives. A. Fuck.
SquareCircle why are you still here? I killed your "slavery creates super people" self awhile ago. Leave, you are not wanted here. You couldn't put a cap on a Pepsi bottle, and yet you're trying to cap on us? Phhsttt.... Sit down, and shut your ignorant retarded self up, before I slam you again.
So if he had no respect for boxing, why did he get a boxer to IMPROVE his technique?
Alright, Ortiz respects Boxing technique.
I think that's a fair interpretation.
(edit: I forgot a word.. It's been added.)
Woww, nice come backs
''This is our house, we can say what the fuck we want here''
''I don't hate MMA, I just think it's inferior''
This sound a bit like:
''This is our house if you're not happy go back to your country''
Or
''I don't hate black people, I just think they are inferior''
Really shows your level of intelligence. Seriously...You ever had any good arguments in your 10k posts or was it always filled with crap?
You again? :lol1: :wank:
And you're mocking my "comebacks?"

Now fuck off, fucktard. :fing02: Thanks.
I don't hate MMA.
I just think it's inferior.
I feel the same way about you.
This is our house. We can say what the fuck we want here, clown.

Overall good post Kball!
I dont know if we started it or they started but I do know that boxing fans shoulld not feel threatened by MMA, and vice versa.
When it comes down to both sports they have combatants who enter a god damn ring and try and take each others heads off, got all the respect in the world for both sports.
Sure MMA will NEVER excite me like a major prize fight will but thats just me, Im still gonna watch some of the bigger events like Liddel v. Jackson and same goes for a MMA fan they should watch some of the sweet sciences biggest events as well..
Boxing is not in danger, its got its fans that will NEVER EVER leave, kinda like the Bush administrations base(Boxing could be awful for years putting on a lot of bad fights and the great majority of us fdiehards are far to invested to EVER leave our beloved passion, same with the Bush Administrations base, hell Georgie could get caught banging a 4 year old girl on the white house lawn and the base would find away to explain it...wereso similar arent we, fuck).
Both sports can coexist no doubt in my mind, boxing just needs to focus on boxing and do what it does best....weve struggled in this area at time over the last decade, putting out so so fights instead of matchmaker "cant miss" fights...if boxing just focuses on boxing the sport is just fine.
Now-marketing is another story, MMA has certainly shown itself to be superior in this arena although the Mayweather v. Oscar fight was a sneak peak at what can be done in our sport if the effort is put forth. Sure the fight was a stinker but everyone on the planet knew what was going down in early May it didnt matter if quilting was your fucking passion you knew who was fighting.
Imagine if we had similar promotion when the warriors entering the ring were named Cotto and Hatton.
MMA is great, Boxing is not in trouble in the least... we just need to look in the mirror little more often and a bit less at the folks that lie next to us, huh?
If you say so, you won. But please answer my question: why would he train with Vargas, but have no respect for boxing?
I been beat down before, it's no biggie.
To improve his punching technique?
1bad, I made my argument. I won, handily. :killyou:
Concede your loss and be a fucking man.
It seems that way to me.. :fing02:

Addison, STFU. I'm not trolling, Tito said UFC has BETTER PPV NUMBERS. How is that direspecting boxing? If I said more people watch the Super Bowl than the Stanley Cup Finals, I am NOT dissing hockey.
Again, if Tito is so disrespectful to boxing, explain why he trains it with Fernando Vargas......
1bad, I made my argument. I won, handily. :killyou:
Like I said; read the fucking responses in the thread regarding Tito's comments. Read them!
It's not your place to tell people anything.. Especially how to feel.
That's rule #1 of engagement.
You trying to reinterpret meaning like this is not only sophmoric, it's abusive.
Concede your loss and be a fucking man.
Actually I dont have 2 screennames, wrong again. And I ANSWERED this thread asshole, I did NOT start it. Since you answered it too, are you trolling?
Ask a MOD, that will confirm I'm not trolling or using more than one name on here.
I'm not hard to find.
But since I'm not black, I must have 'slow reflex muscles'(or whatever a genius of your caliber calls it), so you could probably take me :)

You're a moron who THINKS he can read minds. Post a pic of your doctorate in Psychology, or take one for the team and mute yourself.
Either way, your "argument" has been burnt out.
And in the end, you're nothing more then a retard who wishes he had credentials to back up his stupidity.
NICE Addison.
Read minds?
No stupid.. I was telling you how it was interpreted.
Your dumb ass was trying to tell me "what he meant..." wah. wah.
Who's reaching here, hypocrite?
Don't try to battle me, dumbfuck.
Or the slaps will become punches. :fing02:

Fuck what you're talking about..
Why don't you read the fucking responses in this thread and tell me how his comments were "interepreted."
I was man enough to take my own position.
Now that you've fallen into my hands with your lame argument - you can see what everyone else had to say, jackass..
