God damn it, I can't stand this argument! It is so utterly ridiculous. Anyone arguing for either sport being better are complete chumps. Most people forget they are both sports with rules. Neither one is better for 'real' fighting on the street. If anyone here has grown up in a dangerous area you would know that the best 'street' fighters don't fight with fists or kicking or any of that ****. They will stick a knife in you (or just shoot you) and then ten of their friends will stomp your head when you fall over in shock. You will also never get some absolute psychotic nut job that was conceived by a fungal filth in a back water scungy gutter come raging at you not caring about being taken down or hit but only going for your eyes with intentions that would haunt your dreams. Bye bye sight.
To also say one takes more training than the other is nonsense as well. They have completely different training methods and either one at the upper end of the spectrum is very, very difficult. The guy in the article saying MMA is harder is probably training harder now for MMA than he ever did in boxing which is why it's harder for him and would be the reason he is doing better in MMA. He likes MMA more so would train harder for it. Two guys at the same level both train just as hard. There is simply a different focus on training methods.
MMA is still very young and the competition is not nearly as fierce as in boxing which has international amateur competition and is an Olympic sport. When it has been around for longer it will have the same athletic base for it's athletes that will dominate the sport just like boxing. Like it or not to be the best in the world in boxing is still harder, at the moment, than it is for MMA. The competition has ten times the numbers base than MMA. MMA is gaining ground and in another twenty or thirty years will have guys that are stunning athletes ruling it that have gone through difficult amateur trials. In another twenty years a guy like Liddell will look ****. They will have fitter, faster more athletic guys that will have jumped him faster than he could blink now... much like 'Rampage' did.
Anyway, their is no basis for argument in this...as anyone with common sense will see, boxing would lose in an MMA fight and an MMA fighter will lose in a boxing match. Both would lose against a good 'street' fighter 'cause both would be shot or stabbed and die or have their eyes torn out....or at least go to hospital.
One sport will never be superior to the other no matter how much the macho tools braying for blood on either side would like to say theirs is. They have different skill sets, different rules, vastly different backgrounds and if Floyd Mayweather is made to look like an idiot for losing to someone in an MMA fight he must get the chance for a rematch in a boxing ring favouring his rules and the best fighter in MMA will look like just as big a tool as Floyd would have. The simple fact is though, no prime top boxer will EVER step into an MMA fight and vice versa....Though, and I'm saying this imagining everyone here enjoys boxing more, why is it that no top boxing dogs are asking the top MMA fighters to come into a boxing ring and 'see who the better fighter is?'...? It seems to me that it's only ever MMA guys challenging boxers to come and fight in MMA and see who the tougher guy is. I haven't once heard a boxer challenge an MMA guy to step into the ring...why is that?
