But 6-0-1 fighters do. As a matter of fact, more guys in boxing get BS title shots than in MMA. In MMA its generally THE BEST opponent available. In boxing its all about "what makes sense." In the case of Brock Lesnar the UFC went the "what makes sense" route for once and they get blasted by the boxing community.
Why Boxing Is Better Than MMA

Trinidad was the man with the name, no one cared about Hopkins, hop sed it himself, Tito and Oscar gave him his road to millions.
Tito could have easily just beaten Joppy, not faced Hopkins, and made some bs defenses and he would still be loved and Hop would go another 10 years as the champ no one would care about.
Tito gave Hop his fame and fortune just like Tito gave Wright his fame and fortune
Hop doesnt care about Dawson's dreams or age, lets cut the **** cuz Kelly Pavlik and Dawson are the same age. Hop doesnt want to fight Dawson because Dawson has no fanbaseComment

Some already have, as much as these morons hate to say it, the smart ones calmly said they dont like MMA but they wont bash it. its the threatened fans that have to resort to claiming the MMA is gay and its ground fighting and blah blah blah like Boxing doesnt have boring a$$ fighters like Billy Dib and even Bernard HopkinsComment

I like mma as well as boxing, but you can argue Spinks deserved the title shot much more than Lesnar. Spinks was coming out of the Olympics with a gold medal which was a much bigger deal than it is now. Lesnar was years removed from real competition before he started mma.But 6-0-1 fighters do. As a matter of fact, more guys in boxing get BS title shots than in MMA. In MMA its generally THE BEST opponent available. In boxing its all about "what makes sense." In the case of Brock Lesnar the UFC went the "what makes sense" route for once and they get blasted by the boxing community.Comment

If you knew what you were talking about you would have known it was a tournament so had Tito lost to Joppy Hop would have fought Joppy, and no Tito couldnt have just beaten Joppy and not fought Hopkins. New boxing fans like you always get exposed quickly.Last edited by Bhopreign; 02-28-2009, 09:04 PM.Comment
