Boxing is so dead

[BodyBagz]

Yes, its a matter of letting. Hence the fact it didnt start happening until Floyd/Conor and then the Paul bros opened the floodgates and made it clear that old washed up MMA fighters and various other none boxers can go to boxing and BKFC to be overpaid.

Achieve "real goals" like fight Jake Paul

Achieve "real fame" by going to a sport with a smaller platform and fewer stars



Meanwhile in the real world GSP, Jones and Anderson were all demonstrably much bigger draws than ATGs like RJJ, Whittaker, Hopkins etc. Khabib is probably more recognizable around the world than Canelo. And in the modern day the UFC clearly has the most stars, the biggest platform and the most exposure.

Decades from now most of the ATG fighters and legendary fights sports talking heads and fans look back on from post-2010 will be from MMA.

What does it take to be an MMAUFC fighter ?
Recommendations from reputable night clubs and junk yards ?

No one cares about MMA/UFC HOFers

If Conor or any non boxer wants to make REAL $$$$, go to the sport that's dead

Yeah I suppose BKFC is really big too, after all 40 year old cut from the UFC MMA fighters keep talking about how they're getting career high paydays there.

Lol @ trying to brag about this **** though. If boxers and other random guys from other sports kept walking into UFC main events every few weeks and getting paid **** tons of money to do it i'd think it was pretty ****ing ridiculous personally. You're pulling the "real sport" card and yet its boxing doing this dumb circus shyt.

We all do shlt that makes us as much $$$$ as possible
Don't know why you're pushing against this so hard

Prob not

Being a ''good'' MMA guy is not really saying much.
As soon as the ref smells danger, he rolls on the floor with them.

I mean...you're criticizing MMA guys fighting abilities when they'd beat the **** out of boxers close to their size. So when you look at it like that, what does being a good boxer say? does anyone really view it as proof of who the best fighter in the world is anymore?

As opposed to boxing where as soon as the ref smells danger he literally pauses the fight to allow the guy that got hurt to recover.

Boxing is more like a waiting game right now. Thurman is waiting. Ennis is waiting. Jermall is waiting. Benavidez is waiting. Plant is waiting. Who else?

It's almost like watching girls fight. MMA allows scratching, yes ?

As we know, PUNCHING kills

[The D3vil]

This is the wrong year to make this thread.

We have had undisputed championship fights at 135, 140, 154, & 168 in the past few years

Fights at 147 and HW are basically done at this point.

We just had the biggest women's fight in history with the 2nd biggest one happening in a few weeks.

We've got Canelo/GGG III coming up.

Like boxing's the best it's been in like a decade this year

[henrykk123456]

Boxing and MMA are pretty much in the same position now. UFC isn't really putting on great cards on a regular basis anymore. It's usually one, maybe two good fights per card and the rest filler - the same thing they used to criticize boxing for. They both have a big night every now and then. They're coexisting peacefully, neither hurting the other. Hell, ESPN airs them back to back most weekends so if anything they help each other.

Why are you still bragging about something ****ed up like this though?

Anyway, its not so much that "punching kills", obviously MMA has punching as well, and with smaller gloves too, plus more powerful strikes like kicks and knees. The real reason is that boxing rules lead to taking repeated brain trauma for a longer time without the fight ending. The bigger gloves, counts after knockdowns, longer total fight time but shorter rounds etc etc. Its the volume and sustained nature of the brain being shaken around that does the serious damage in boxing.

I can never tell how serious you're being with this stuff. But yeah, a lot of boxing fans are like this. Its like some grumpy old man sitting in a rocking chair gesturing his fists in that ole timey boxing stance and going "in my day it was proper fisticuffs, 70 rounds and the ring was just wooden floorboards". Basically just being stuck in their ways.

I should have typed ''proper'' punching.
MMA/UFC guys DKSAPP

The Transformers threw a bunch of SFX and eye candy at the audience.
Made Zillions of $$$$$
Do I need to go on ?
Do I need to be a ''grumpy old man'' to state the obvious ?
