Dana White FORCES the best to fight the best every single week while in boxing it takes YEARS for the best to fight. No wonder people see boxing as a dying sport.

    How many people died in MMA/UFC ?
    To call a boxer a coward is lame.
    MFers think a person can not only be a pro simply by putting gloves on, but, go on to be a star
    If it was that easy, MMA/UFC wouldn't exist.
    Those low paying companies would have no combatants.

    But you have a point that us boxing fans having been making since forever.
    We need a singular governing body.
    We also need a scoring system.
    A retirement fund would be nice as well.

            So who is the best HW and what major best vs best HW match up have MMA fans been robbed of? i'm assuming you are gonna say Jones/Ngannou, a fight that wasnt even realistically touted until last year. The last big no1 vs no2 match up at HW was Gane/Ngannou, which happened right on cue, and it was literally last ****ing year.

            The ultimate irony is the only reason Ngannou isnt there is because of boxing. Namely that theres now a precedent for none boxers to walk into major boxing paydays and PPV fights based on their name alone. So Ngannou has it in his head, not even all that unrealistically, that Fury, the supposed no1 HW boxer on the planet, is going to box an 0-0 in boxing MMA fighter in between taking on world beaters like Del Boy and Shyte. But you're complaining that Jones fought the guy that lost a contentious decision to Ngannou (outlanding him in 4 of 5 rounds btw) a year ago when Ngannou/Gane was the biggest fight in HW MMA, instead of Ngannou himself, like its remotely close to the **** show in HW boxing where the two biggest potential boxing matches since Floyd/Pac and biggest HW fights by far since Lennox/Tyson never happened and now the fans are getting screwed over on Fury/Usyk as well...geez.

            Jones/Reyes was the champ vs the top challenger, so yes, at the time it was considered the best vs the best. And the ultimate fight in that division in the last 10 years was Jones/DC, which happened twice. In the era before that it was Shogun/Machida, also happened twice, in the era before that it was Chuck/Randy, they had a trilogy.

            Aljo/Cejudo is practically a dream fight between the current champ and the former champ (and two division champ) who never lost his belts in the cage. Not sure why you're using this as an example. Also the Spence/Crawford of that division was Aljo/Yan, which happened twice. So what fight in that division would you consider best vs best right now instead then?


            These examples you're using are just illustrating the point.
            Simple questions, simple answers, just a yes or no.

            Is Jon Jones vs Dominick Reyes the best vs the best? (yes/no)

            is Henry Cejudo vs Aljamain Sterling the best vs the best? ​(yes/no)

              Yes and yes.

              Whatever point youre trying to make here, its failing. Now give me what you think are the actual "best vs best" fights in those divisions that apparently arent happening.

                1. Henry Cejudo, a 36 year-old fighter who hasn't fought in 3 years is the best UFC bantamweight?
                2. Dominick Cruz, a 38 year-old 12-4 fighter who lost his last fight by ko leg kick is the best UFC bantamweight?
                3. Dominick Reyes, a 33 year-old fighter that's 12-4 who has lost his last 4 fights, 3 by ko/tko is the best UFC heavyweight?

                  So what is this obvious no1 vs no2 megafight at 135lbs that MMA fans are clamoring for but being robbed of again?

                  Also why are you using Reyes's record AFTER he fought Jones and his current age when talking about a fight that happened years ago?

                  Meanwhile Fury is about to fight Andy Ruiz.

                    Why do you have such a problem answering simple yes or no questions? Let's try this one more time.
                    1. Henry Cejudo, a 36 year-old fighter who hasn't fought in 3 years is the best UFC bantamweight?
                    2. Dominick Cruz, a 38 year-old 12-4 fighter who lost his last fight by ko leg kick is the best UFC bantamweight?
                    3. Dominick Reyes, a 33 year-old fighter that's 12-4 who has lost his last 4 fights, 3 by ko/tko is the best UFC heavyweight?
                    I even numbered them for you. Your reply should look something like.
                    1. Yes or No​.
                    2. Yes or No.
                    3. Yes or No.

                      UFC is a constant fixture on everyone's television. Boxing is not.
