Are any of you boxing historians MMA Fans?

[mrboxer]

your a boxing historian,who gave you that honor,mma is not even in the same league as boxing,to fight in mma you do not even have to train all you need to know is a little bit of grappling,this way you are on the ground for 99 percent of the time throwing elbows that are missing its mark,if a boxer had an opponent down and started to throw punches the person on the ground would be kayoed in a hurry,mma is being promoted like wwe scripted with more hype

Boxing is for the elite, MMA is for meatheads in high school

WWE style advertising? Idk but I haven't see WWE promo ppv posters, WWE reality show, etc. But then again I would hope to god I wouldn't.

Lesnar is the champ, since when does that make someone the best. You should know as a boxing fan having the belt doesn't mean anything if you don't fight the best around. In this case you have to take his size into consideration when talking about him as a fighter. He skills are without his size would mean ****.

UFC has one belt, anyone who is undisputed champ in boxing is something. (undisputed would be the same as a belt holder in the UFC).

I didn't mean technically, but he is one of their top fighters because he's strong. That doesn't happen in boxing. You leave your face open in boxing and go by strength only, you won't get far. Even the most in your face brawlers in boxing do have a great deal of skill.

MMA right now seems like there is no pure dominance, aside from A. Silva, who got owned in boxing but switched to MMA because it was easier for him to dominate.

Lesnar could lose to anybody no matter what rank, any day of the week from any old wild ass Haymaker.

I myself liken mmGAY to that of a mixture of pro wrestling and tough man tributes.

It's also a great way for young closet ****'s to enjoy two glass jawed bums sweating it out in a cage


Quite frankly I prefer to watch two skilled combatants who aren't humping each other in the middle of the ring

They say boxing is dead......well I will follow it to the grave before I support the garbage that is mmGAY and it deeply saddens me that there are boxing fans who tolerate this filth

[mrboxer]

boxing rules,any boxer vs any mma in the same weight class,would kayo the mma,if a mma tried to grab a boxer a boxer would unload a barrage of uppercuts and knock the mma out

GSP dominates WW and has done so for years. BJ only has one loss in his career at LW. And Fedor, who is the greatest ever, who is 30-1 and that one loss came from an illegal blow which under normal circumstances would have been ruled a NC but it was a tourney, is the #1 HW and has been for the past 6 years

i like boxing more jus cuz it appeals more to me naturally but i love mma too. i think it's obvious tho that in a real streetfight the mma fighter beats the boxer 9 times out of 10. but why should that matter? they're both completely different sports. u dont hear people arguing about who would win a fight between rugby players and NFL players lol. and i hate it when people talk about mma as if it's the sport of "real fighting". in real fighting a 135er might be able to beat brock with superior biting/eye-gouging/nut-crushing skills lol... so actually i take back what i said about mma fighters beating boxers 9/10. cuz u never kno who has the more animalistic nature regardless of ground-fighting knowledge...

[Thread Stealer]

I'm a casual MMA fan.

[Stoppage]

I'm not a crazy fan. I like it when someone good fights. Like Fedor Emelianenko or Anderson Silva. Even Brock Lesnar, sometimes.

how is that? when all of the street fights recorded it's the boxer who wins.

what do you through in street fights? throw punches! you are telling me the MMa fighter would instantly go for the take down? doubtful. Even then, landing the take down and not getting hit is another. if they stood for even a few seconds they would be koed and be twitching on the ground in convulsions.
