        there are right, boxing isnt as tough as MMA. It takes a special kind of man to have another man's balls rubbing on ur face while ur in the floor wrestling lol

            If you compare Floyd style in Boxing against MMA fighters..

            Boxing less injuries, less risk

            It's like injuries and death, MMA is the cause.

              MMA fighters tend not to be the ones saying that boxing isn't tough. The ones saying that boxing isn't tough are the rednecks who watch UFC all the time.

              Uh... what? There have been far fewer deaths and serious injuries in MMA than there have been in boxing.

                I don't think that MMA fans think that boxing isn't tough. At least not the majority. One of MMA's most key marketing points is that it is safer and less hazardous than boxing, and most MMA fans would have heard this argument.

                  No it's the peanut gallery who think that boxing isn't tough. My theory is that in any sport you have 70% of the fans who like watching the sport, you have 10% who like it obsessively and you have the 15% peanut gallery who make more noise than the other 85% of fans combined and can't simply gain enjoyment from the sport, they also feel compelled to try to take away the enjoyment fans of other sports get from their game. The morons who say that Rugby League is crap and all fans of Rugby League are idiots, and vice versa. Those that say that American Football is the **** but European football is boring. And the people that say that boxing sucks and MMA rules and of course vice versa.

                  I mean really who gives a ****. I don't like NASCAR, it makes no sense to me. So I don't watch it. I'm not going to get angry that some people do watch it... Same thing here. MMA has lost its novelty with me, I find it to be a mix of bad boxing and cheating at greco roman wrestling. So I don't bother watching it. But I wouldn't deny another person's right to watch it, because who cares?

                    I actually enjoyed watching MMA grow what it is today.
                    But if these little kids think that boxing is easy...
                    They never got a good ass whoopin before.

                      They dont like the lack of man on man hugging in boxing. Boxing is not nearly ****sexual enough.
