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

I've been a fan of boxing watching SRL, Hagler, Holmes, Hearns, Boom Boom Mancini etc. since I was a kid.

The guy in this video would beat the TS.

Thats the point. **** like this happens on the street. If it was a wrestler, 3 15 year olds would own him.

I don't understand, why not use both boxing and wrestling on the street?

There should be no reason why anyone needs to put down boxing because a person believes wrestlers are better. There is a reason why MMA fighters practice boxing. Some people can claim that they practice it because they respect they're ground game--okay, then let's factor in all the guys who don't like to go on the ground and rely heavily on their striking like Crocop, Takanori Gomi, Marvin Manhoef. They've been submitted but they also have KOd a lot of guys. To me, it's crap for anyone to put down boxing because they think one style is better than another. By the way, Takanori Gomi was a multi-champion combat wrestler.

I think the main concern in this thread is about which form dominates in a real FIGHT. not about beautiful footwork, shoulder rolls etc.....Boxing is an art but is a very limited form of fighting

My freshman year at College I witnessed quite a bizarre event, at a Halloween party I watched a D1 Collegiate wrestler get roughed up by a guy who was no where near his size with no martial arts background. You might wonder how, well when the wrestler tackled him the guy rammed his fingers into the wrestlers eyes and then proceeded to kick him until it got split up. Morale of the story is no sport is superior or "dominates". It depends on the person, although in general the ability to punch much harder than the guy your quarreling with while being able to avoid his punches is usually a rather good skill to have.
