Are any of you boxing historians MMA Fans?

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.

in a street fight you throw anything. even jus the simple kicking drills provide an advantage for the mma fighter cuz they will have faster groin kicks.

obviously if the mma fighter was ****** enough to box with a boxer they would most likely lose the fight jus cuz of the fact that boxers focus solely on that aspect so it's a given that they will usually have the more polished boxing skills. but in a survival situation, the mma fighter would most likely shoot and jus take it from there. what does the boxer do when theyre on the ground? i cant believe im having this discussion lol...

ever seen joes vs pros? (or is it pros vs joes?) It's not as easy as it looks. A strong person can def put up a struggle against a takedown. I've done it myself. MM is not all it's cracked up to be. Just like those kids that take karate for 10 years then get beat up by some kid who plays hockey.

Same would happen here, a boxer has been hitting things and has been getting hit for long periods of time, he knows how to fight. this part is a tiny aspect of an MMA fighters game. Being skilled at a few things isn't as good as being a master at one.

But it makes you extremely limited in conformity and complacency.

You stopped yourself before you began.

btw, inertia is a big part of fighting. No true fighter will fight against you, but flow with you.

I love how mmGAY fans constantly like to compare their so called sport to street fighting and the ironic thing is that's the whole tagline which damn near destroyed their ****ty worthless sport "legalized streetfighting"

Virtually every mmGAY fighter has a glass jaw,They can't throw a punch and can't take a punch and like it or not punching is essential to a street fight,A street fight isn't limited to wrestling mats and grappling half naked infront of a crowd

mmGAY is made up of grapplers who crumble at the first contact of a punch and it's embarrassing to watch,These bums are the best fighters in the world? These bums are the toughest men in the world and they can't even take a ****ing jab?

mmGAY is a proven fad and it's popularity will decline when it's middle class white fanbase die out and grow up and realise what idiots they were for ever watching this ridiculous fad in the first place

Pro wrestling was hugely popular ten years ago and now it's popularity has declined to the 8-15 year old demographic when infact it's past demographic had been 18-35

Now guess where that 18-35 demographic has shifted off to?


You wanna be a ****ing fighter? Best go join the wwe first...son

i like the mma and i am also interesting in history of boxing, what i not like is the mma community and the much fighter don't respect the other fighter

As I said in the thunderome; I don't agree with Floyd Jrs assesment that it was started by white people to take money away from the minority boxers that were taking over the boxing, I DO think that the reason it's so huge is because of it's large percentage of white fighters.

I live in Oklahoma, and it's not very easy to find someone under thirty that stays up with boxing, but all the young white guys(and girls) know about MMA.

mma is a great sport and seems to be taking over boxing right now.
