Easier to become a world class boxer or world class MMA fighter?

well, to be fair, Leon Spinks did get a shot at Ali in his 7th fight yea but even then Spinks hadnt lost and was coming off a Gold medal at the olympics, and is basically the only exception. Brock was coming off a loss at Wrestlemania and a failed football career lol

Brock Lesnar got a title fight in his 4th fight, even after losing his 2nd fight Nuff said ^^^this Im not a hater but this is unheard of in boxing

Dont you just have to have fought the Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match to be an MMA fighter?

So some of you, not all, are saying that it's easier to make it to the top of boxing, where the likes of Pac and Mayweather are right now, than to make it in MMA, where the likes of GSP and Lesnar are right now? Interesting to see some of you voting and saying boxing. Well take into account while it's almost legalized in the US, most of the states haven't regulated MMA as of yet. You could be the best fighter in the state, but it won't mean crap because there isn't a regulatory body to keep guidelines in check, no one will recognize it. You could be 15-0 and all your win could be dumb construction workers who think because they played high school they're tough suma*****es. So you have to go some place that takes regulation seriously in order to get looked at. And even then, you don't rightly know if you got what it takes to go pro. So in a way, yes, it's easier to become a world class boxer then an MMA fighter

You only need a grappling background and D level kickboxing to be a world champ in MMA. Boxing actually takes skill. To compare the two is just absurd, MMA is a worthless fad that will be gone in a few years. They can hardly pay their top fighters 10k to win.

Boxing, by far.
