Floyd(idiot) insults UFC on interview, should keep his mouth shut

[HendrixLove]

Ok that's pushing it.

Now I suppose every fighter in MMA is just the guy next door right?

Yup, you're waking up now steve.

[BigCol]

I dont care what anyone says BJJ is just as good of a workout as boxing is. Has anyone actualyl rolled with a skilled BJJ guy or a wrestler. ****, that **** is tough. Looks easy, but tough as hell.

[flem1]

Oh really??????.....Complete my ass, if they really are superior at everything they train in then let me see an MMA fighter put on some gloves and fight an elite boxer, or go to thailand and step in the ring with a kickboxer....I can go on and on, and I'm sure they would always come out on the short end of the stick. MMA fighters train to just know the basics of everything and not really get into the art of it.

That's how I see MMA too, it's like they train the basics so they will know how to defend attacks like submissions, wrestling, kicks, etc. They don't have full mastery of the disciplines.

How about we see a boxer take the 14 oz gloves off....put on some 3oz gloves and fight a MMA fighter in the Octagon. Oh and spare the "Going to Thailand and fighting the best kickboxers".

Thai people don't grow past 5'1 inches tall and weigh 100 lbs. There's no way they could ever compete in an openweight tourney.

Then send the MMAists to Netherlands, a country that is just as good in muay thai and has a bunch of heavyweights (Aerts, Bonjasky to name a few).

I like watching combat sports but Boxing is still a favorite of mine, it requires more skill than MMA. I used to train in Kickboxing and submissions a couple years before I started Boxing. And Damn! Most of the boxers I trained with are as tough as nails and very hard to hit (especially the flyweights, bantams, and feathers here in Philippines). Boxers naturally punch a lot harder and move a lot faster and their stamina's unbelievable. MMAists may be good (and not great) in other areas but I noticed their stamina's laughable, most of them can't take a punch (I know you MMAists will say "but they use smaller gloves and they hurt more"). Boxers take more punishment when in a bout cuz of constant blows to the head and most of them don't fall that easily. I always call the MMA stand up "Sloppy Boxing and Sloppy Kickboxing". It just cracks me up cuz most of them don't even know how to punch right, time their punches or even snap their punches.

For a better comparison, Boxing is like watching a great painter a la Picasso work their craft and MMA is like watching a toddler trying to paint using a water color IMO.

Yup, you're waking up now steve.

That's not even worth responding to, and you know it. You're just taking cheap shots and talking trash now....all of it's false.

lol, don't cry bro. I was just being sarcastic because your talking as if MMA fighters are way tougher just because they wear 3oz gloves. If boxing wore the same size of gloves then mostly every round would end in a knockout and not have that sports feel anymore, and just imagine all the great fights we wouldn't have had due to the early stoppages or knockouts cause of the gloves.

Hahaha I like that comparison, especially since I'm a huge boxing fan and the Guernica just happens to be my favorite painting of all time. Very well put, homie.

[Hitman932]

i dont really like MMA, i find it way too anti-climactic as most guys cannot stand up to one good shot from an equally skilled opponent

its cool to see a seet knock out here and there but im not gonna bother to get to know the personalities.... i like emilianenko and crop crop (PRide), dislike all the UFC mainstays, hoping mirko cleans UFC out...

that being said, Floyd Mayweather is just a pure hater, whats the surprise here?

[Dirt E Gomez]

No genius.

Anyone who throws a ****ing leg kick is a kickboxer in MMA. It's a simple maneuver....leg kicking. Foreman pointed out that kickboxers take punishment on their legs, boxer don't.

And while we're at it....there are dozens of boxers turned MMA that stood no chance at all

See Mercer, Ray and Butterbean

Hahahahaaha

C'mon RWK. You must be grasping at straws when you consider butterbean a real boxer.

There isn't an actual debate here. Do I feel boxing is more of an art form than MMA? Of course. But art is subjective so neither side is wrong. Further along those lines; the fact that anybody here is discussing who would win in a boxing ring or octagon if they fought is useless. 90% of the time the fighter trained in that sport would win.... with the 10% chance reserved for the fact that both sides have the ability to knock one another out with a decent shot.

Just my $.02.

[Larry Merchant]

you can hit a downed man it is not a sport it is assult at that point ..IMO ..but before that there is lots of skill, fitness , strengh needed to be elite. it is fun but boxing can will always be # 1. it is artsy sometimes to watch. UFC is brutal and thet get paid **** to take knees elbow to the face jaw. you can wrench peps necks.

UFC and PRIDE is somewhat sissy many top flight fights end by tapping out. When a major boxing star quits it is covered up or the fighter will always be disrespected ala Duran,Friteas, Golata.

[Dirt E Gomez]

I can't believe I just read that. Sissy because they tap out? Yeah, it's a lot better to have your arm broken and the possibility to never fight again (at definitely not for at least a handful of months after it) present in every submission situation... That being said; nobody in their right mind would compete in an MMA situation where they weren't allowed to tap out.
