Former mma fan turned boxing fan...

[Box"K"ing]

Hi there I am a huge boxing fan now since I have been boxing for almost 2 years.


Initially I wanted to learn mma so I went to a local mma school that had a boxing program and then from there I felt like boxing is cleaner and more evovled in terms of style movement and etc...



Anyway overtime boxing has grew on me I still like mma but I LOVE boxing.


My favorites are Roy Jones, Floyd Mayweather and I like zab and Pernell too.

But as a Orthdox I can relate to jones and mayweather. Anyway hopefuly I wont get **** for this thread since few years ago I made a thread on an mma forum and the response was "STFU" or "GTFO" I'm not sure what to expect in the boxing community but definitely I look forward to talk some boxing and would love to hear how many of you guys box.

Good lad, it is indeed. The word you are searching for is 'class'; something two grown men rolling around on the floor grappling each other will never have.

lol for sure the mmaforum had a boxing section and the attitude and the level of maturity is completely different there is no bashing or acting like roid junkies.


In all fairness to grappling I actually dont mind wrestling/judo (stand up grappling)

As crazy as it sounds having some of that clinch strength is good for boxing specially for me I am the smallest guy in are club for now (5'8 145) the other guys are like over 5'11 and over 180 and my boxing coach said some stand up wrestling/judo is actually does me good for getting out of corner or just moving ring bullies around.


But!!!! by NO MEANS!!!! do I wanna roll around in the ground I tried that **** and its very very overrated in mma a good boxer with some clinch strength would wreck shop.

Look at Marcus Davis a boxing low-level turned ufc contender although I like few of them strikers but yeah mma just doesn't do it for me anymore...

ahaha..good job mang... Boxing is definitely better than mma, i like mma too

but its just that i CANNOT see it as an ARTFORM... and BOXING IS AN ARTFORM
