Do MMA fighters train harder than boxers?

Eh. I think that due to making sure their muscles function properly. A lot of MMA fighters like to strength train. Though looking shredding would really be a bonus.

Dont get me wrong some top MMA guys train real hard ,but i i dont think they do to many early morning runs lol theres more beer bellies in MMA than what there is in boxing !:boxing:

on average there about even. while MMA training is more deversified they dont train harder or easier, they train to fight for 15 or 25 champ match mins while most boxers train to go for 30 to 36 min. in MMA the grapllers would be the once who trainas hard as boxers cuz they need alot od stamina.

Honestly, a lot of them probably do. They have to cover a lot more things. Both train crazy hard. At the world class level for either, it has to be insane. I've been in the gym with Vinny Paz and he was uinbelievable the way he trained. I heard stories from Joh Scully on the way Floyd trains and that is unbelievable. I think Im a pretty tough guy, but I know I am not a world class fighter. Those guys, in either sport, are machines.

Jab, you're just gay and need to fuck off. Only losers who have never seen gash watch reality TV. In Thailand they do have 2 minute breaks, I SAW it with my BARE eyes. Check it up on some geeky website you will see it there. BTW, they might be fast to you but they are slow to boxers. It's obvious that boxers are the fastest. QUOTE] No boy, I actually fight. I've actually boxed before for about 7 years and am currently training mauy thai. Unlike you, who thinks he can figure out the intracacies of a sport by watching it. Honestly, you can't tell me shit. You're credibility was flushed the moment you tried to say Marciano retired to duck Liston. But I'll tell you what, I train under a guy named Ajarn Rick davis. I'll be at the gym at 11 tommorow and will ask him about these supposed 2 minute rounds in thailand (where he became a master. Feel free to google it) and I'll be back here tommorow afternoon sometime and let you know for sure. Because as it is now, there are 1 minute rests. as far as who gets gash.....lol, im not so insecure I that I have to make shit up and lie to a bunch of strangers about all the models I've fucked. Me, I got a nice girl. We have fun. Well, I guess its time to man up. You were right. There are two minute breaks in mauy thai. There is however very little break in the action. The 2 minute rest periods are to produce more action during the round. it ensures fighters fight. Also, if a fighter is trying to rest and avoid action during a round, referee's are encouraged to force that fighter to fight by pushing him towards his opponent. If he still tries to take prolonged rest period it is grounds for disqualification. So, I'll give you the 2 minute debate. You were right, I was wrong. But you are wrong about the rest of it.

They're gay. All of them. hahahahaha

And I wont get caught in the MMA vs Boxing bit again, because its fucking stupid. And anyone who thinks either sport is so much greater than the other, and calls competitors from the other sport a bum, is completely ignorant. But no, MMA fighters arent bums and boxers conditioning isnt on a "whole different level'. World class MMA fighters are exactly that, world class, in their chosen sport.

i was just arguing with an MMA fan and they were saying this and i have no idea if it's true or not? i'm guessing they do seeing as they all look really muscle bound, but can someone who's knowledgeable on both sports clear things up Not harder, but MMA fighters have A LOT more ground to cover than boxers. In boxing, you just put in work. Especially at the highest levels, when you dont have any blaring weakness, your really just sharpening and getting/staying in physical condition. In MMA, there are so many dimensions that literally EVERYONE has several large holes in their game, even the top 5 P4P guys in the sport. Anderson Silva is many peoples number 1 in MMA, but he is not a good wrestler. Not at all. He has to work so hard to try and fill that void. Thats the difference. I would say boxers work just as hard though.

He did make a good observation. Boxing sparring is more demanding and so are the fights. Taht is why their fitness is on a whole new level and even a non-technical boxer would beat these bums on fitness alone. Even Margarito and other walk forward fighters! Never mind super FLoyd. (yawn) They are two different sports. BTW, I have done Muaythai and they fight at a snails pace, with two minute rests between some of the big fights in Thailand. Not one of them could do 12 and not one of them can do shit once a boxer steps in and works the mid range (too close to kick, too far to knee). This is where most MMA bums would die too. This is an absolute lie. Any body check out the "Contender mauy thai" last night on versus? Its anything But slow. And rest periods are 1 minute, not 2. Same as boxing. Its been nice exposing your lies again, chump. Lol, why don't you tell us about the pictures, er, models you've been with super stud? You seem to be a man of the world.

BUMS fighting each other mean nothing. And that is what they both are. Only top boxer in prime to go in the martial arts circuit was Shannon Briggs. he returned from K1 with a 2-0 record and had em all trembling in boots. Lewis wiped floor with Briggs in the 5th. enough said. Also, why do non of you have an answer to my observation of Liddel outboxing a grappler in SLOW motion. And Chuck Liddel can't box for shit! Imagine what Klit would do: DECAPITATION. ray mercer fought guys like lewis, holyfield and klitschko. kimbo fought joe blows on youtube. enough said there. and liddell, well he use to be a NCAA wrestler and a pretty good one at that. and he only uses that wrestling as a defense against fighters who like to grapple and who can't punch. and couture could beat any boxer in the world including klitschko in an mma fight. and briggs fought nobodies in K1. he fought Tom Erikson who's neither a boxer or kickboxer. if he was so good at it, he would've fought more than 2 matches. k1 btw is not officially mma, its basically just kickboxing.

LOL. Every word of that is true and the fact that you bring that in to another forum proves how badly I raped you in that thread. He would be carrying buckets in the 70's. This hurts the stigeez who believe he would have been a household name! More like household waste! Go back to that hread and try to reason, rather than make baseless arguments of a COMMERCIAL fan. Stigee nations feelings got wounded in my superthread! As for Klit, he has been in kickboxing and beat em to a pulp. He would beat that Fedor Express deliveryman with his jab. Boxers are in different class and would beat em on fitness alone! BUMS fighting each other mean nothing. And that is what they both are. Only top boxer in prime to go in the martial arts circuit was Shannon Briggs. he returned from K1 with a 2-0 record and had em all trembling in boots.

Imagine what Klit would do: DECAPITATION. Lol!! All I can do is shake my head and laugh!:D

Depends on the person? Brock lesnar beats Shannon Brings training all day... Joshua clottey runs 12 miles when he jogs...Zab judah has been doing 8-9 miles. I'm pretty sure that beats alot of mma fighters. Hatton has a pretty intense looking regime.... I am no slacker and I'm just a AM fighter. Totally depends on the person...... But if you just want on average?...hmm I'd lean towards the MMA fighter...all that wrestling.

The top guys in each sport trains their asses off and the ones who don't are obviously lower on the totem poll. There is no "train harder" because it's not as though there is a collective agreement between the fighters to agree on a set # of training hours per week. The most noticeable difference is in terms of sparring. While MMA sparring tends to be more technical and skill based, boxing sparring is much more demanding and tends to build cardio like a mother. This is a good post. Let me add that doing pad work in mauy thai is more daminding than boxing is a huge cardio workout. But I fully agree with the boxing sparring assecessment.

Only 15 year olds talk about losing their V. :bottle::bottle::bottle: p.s. I have fucked models and they were not fat yanks! Them sorority slags in Cancun were all on it. Like shooting fish in barrel for a Brit! Yanks must have small dicks and that is why they watch missinoary poisition on UFC! hahaha. you fucked models? thats laughable. nobody with a childish crybaby attitude like yours could ever land a model. and I'm not american.

Busting a nut on a Playboy or Hustler is NOT "fucking" models.

Ray Mercer vs Kimbo Slice Take into account that Kimbo is not a good MMA fighter and his best skill is punching and he is basically a novice ground fighter and kicker.

Chuck Liddel who can't box for shit, outboxed Couture in slow motion! Enough said! Imagine what the Klit would have done. Decapitation! Only fools who believe media hype (ie. Marciano could beat Ali!) fall for this shit. Lol, they are two different sports. Put Klit in an octagon with Fedor Emalienanko and Wlad is going to get destroyed. Fedor in a boxing ring with Klit? Klit kills him. You aren't bright enough to understand this. Who said Marciano could beat Ali? I know I didn't. But I also know you said Rocky would be lucky to be a sparring partner in the 70's. Don't go blaming me for your credibility being shot when you come out with shit like that.

You're a hillbilly. Submission? they won;t even get past the jab and right hand, the bums. If they came in they would be eating hooks and their heads were rocked by each others fatman pathetic attempts. Everyone knows kicks are useless and make you vulnerable to takedown. If slow motion Liddel can outbox a fat grappling bum then imagine what fast and strong undisputed world champion in Haye would do! Different class. i think you;re the dleusional one mate. That's why one man and his dog watch it outside the US, a country where they elected an imbecile as their leader. Not the smartest country in world now is it? I mean you kinda admit Liddel has no chance in a boxing match V world champ, just like all the other MMA bums. But he did outbox one of his fellow bums! So you kinda admit they'll all get outclassed like the bums they are. Like Floyd says, they're just bums who were not good enough for bigtime of boxing. lol. its pretty clear by your posts that you are a virgin and have a hard time picking up chicks. its ok, you might lose your viginity one day. till then, you can take out your frustrations on the internet.
