dana white responds: "I'm a fan of Bernard Hopkins, I like him".

quality interview, dana held it down and didn't get all stupid with anything, i liked the answers he gave, and he didn't hide anything, other than future business plans which is in his best interests to keep quite or not talk about. boxing and mma can coexists, it has so far, and could have a bright future together....

i dont like dana but he made a damn good point about boxing not stacking its cards

why are these "fan house" guys also so damn creepy looking

not a fan of that MMA bullshit....but Dana is right!!.....stack a card and take a pay cut.....put ALL the top dawgs on one card!!:boxing:

White talks a lot of sense there.

If you think that Hopkins can beat ANY top MMA 170er, you have lost your mind. I think Hopkins would be great in MMA, did you see the Winky Wright fight?

Bhop>White. :boxing:

Boxing just beat UFC 103 in PPV numbers on Sept 13th by a mile and a half, with a card that was "boycotted" by a lot of boxing fans(supposedly) and predicted to flop, now why the hell would boxing take any advice from Dana White? Its stupid to compare thoses 2 cards. It was a weak mma card verse a very strong boxing card. It means **** all.

it would take at least 5 mma fighters to hold back hopkins Lol try 1 Bernard is a great boxer but that's all he is.

Dana White - 1 Bernard Hopkins - 0 seriously i dont like this guy dana but he is right. if bhop thinks there's flaws with mma same shit goes to boxing. u dont like 2 guys wrestling on the ground, i dont like 2 guys running around. y'all motherfuuuckers need to stop with this ignorant bullshit. let this 2 sport co exist i am pretty sure it will be a huge fuucking event. MMr. Dana White is the one who started alot of this crap.. He is always taking cheap shots at the sport of boxing and its fighters. **** dana white

imagine if he dissed hopkins, hopkins would probably put his lights out the next time they met Unless Dana was walking around with MMA fighters that would see Hopkins and take him to the ground. I'm actually with Dana with this: MMA and Boxing can coexist; it should coexist. It's about fighting; it's about entertainment. No need to bash the other. Boxing is a part of MMA so MMA fighters shouldn't be going around bashing Boxing and Boxers shouldn't be bashing MMA...but for some reason, it does seem like Boxers have more of a problem with MMA than MMA fighters have with boxing. Now with regards to the fan battle, it is about even. Hopkins disrespected fighters...fighters he can't beat unless he proves he can. Hell, I don't like that side of MMA where fighters are wrestling their opponent to the ground and are on top of each other, but it is effective and it is fighting, and because of that; all fighters should learn every aspect of fighting; because at the end of the day, it is about winning...it is about surviving (like in nature, like in war). To me, it is all about the mindset you put yourself in to allow a greater understanding of what is happening and what a fight is all about. It's about using every capable weapon at your disposal to win a fight. Both MMA and Boxing are not actual true fights set down by nature but they still can be enjoyed and serve a purpose in understanding fighting. When you watch MMA, you are watching two fighters agreeing to limit the weapons that can be used in an actual fight (applied in nature), like eye gouging, testicle ripping, biting, etc. in order to showcase abilities learned that will help aid in one's favor to win in such a fight ordained by nature. In Boxing, it is even more limited than MMA to an actual fight (in nature) but showcases skills that can help favor one's chances to win. It showcases the mastery of hand fighting...distance...a certain toughness...understanding...and so on. Boxing is part of MMA and the MMA fighter most likely stands a better chance in a fight in nature where no rules apply. However, because no rules apply you better be able to dodge a bullet...good luck :fing02:
