I'm a college wrestler. I weigh 220 lbs. I can beat any pro boxer in a fight.

I didn't say it wasn't effective, it's just not as effective as some other arts. I think boxing is an important part of most MMA fighters game, just not as important as wrestling, BJJ, or thaiboxing.

In that order.

dood you could totally fook up any pro boxer.
heck you could beat both pac and mayweather in a three way bout.
Boxing is ***** **** compared to wresting and grabbing an opponents croch and balls while loving feeling their heavy breath, weight and pressure all over your body.
you da man!

OP is trollin' so hard.

He's an idiot if he thinks he can control a fight. All it takes is one bare knuckle punch from a Professional and he'll go down like a *****. All it takes is one fast hard strike to the throat and he dies.

It'll never happen anyways, so why keep feeding this most obvious of trolls?

You need to learn more about fighting. It takes at least a couple years in the gym for a pure striker to develop any sort of TD defense or ground game.

Also, you don't need years to get a great takedown defense--you just need enough to get by--something like Marvin Manhoef.. he's one of easiest fighters to submit once you got him on the ground but he's ***** if you want to go for a takedown against him... and to a lesser extent Crocop...once you got him on the ground he was easy pickings..like the nogueira fight..but I heard he's ground game is equiavalent to a brown belt these days..

Then why criticize it?

Crocop has good TD defence which it took him years to polish in the gym. Do some research.

I don't need research. I know my mma. Crocop got by and that's a FACT with his TD. look at his opponents in the beginning. Freakin' Fujita? Pro wrestlers? (You got to love the Japanese for that) Are you serious? Eventually he got a good TD defense after so many years.
