Although i do like ufc, some people say there is no skill to it but i mean, when you watch people like GSP, BJ Penn, Anderson Silva, Machida, shogun etc you see the actually good side of it...
Boxing not even close.. Although there some guys in MMA that I enjoy watching like silva, fedor who does have skills... But when it goes to the ground i reach for the remote especially with wrestlers..
The Elite Boxers are probably the most in-shape athletes in the world. Boxers have to withstand getting hit repeatedly. If you see some of the knockouts created in boxing were talking lights out. Imagine the effects those knockouts have on fighters in rounds 7 and up?
Elite MMA fighters have a wider range of skill. But i doubt they are in the shape that boxers are in. They have to deal with kicks, takedowns, and grappling but that just gives them more of an arsenal to have.
Boxers have their fists and skill only. Boxing has been referred to as the "Sweet Science". If you put a boxer in the Octagon he has a chance. If you throw gloves on an MMA fighter he gets destroyed.
People who say Boxing is dying need to look at the pay that these Fighters are getting. When was the last time you heard of MMA Fighters making 4 or 5 million a fight? Never. If Boxing is dying why are they getting paid so much? Obviously, the money is coming from somewhere.
