Mixed Martial Artists switching over to boxing

MMA fighters can't use their hands for crap...I've seen some at the gym swinging their arms with no rotation and swinging wide pitty patting the bags lol

Excuses, an MMA champ got owned by an old boxer.

You can't make excuses, "well, this guy didn't do this, so its not fair".

BS.

The entire premise of MMA is basically, "anything goes".


You'll never see an old MMA cat come into a boxing ring and beat one of its champs.

I tend to agree with this.

Mmgay fighters have glass jaws and can't take the punches of a sloppy grappler who punches like a girl,they'd be knocked into a coma if they stepped into the ring with a journeymen.



Mmgay fighters should just stick to rolling around with other men in a cage.

BJ. Penn has the boxing ability to be a good juniorwelterweight boxer. He'd just need to do it 100% and get the stamina and i guarantee he could do well( probably top 20). Most MMA fighters aren't good boxers but some very few of them( coming from a boxing / muay thai background like Diabate) could be good boxers.

If Kermit Cintron, who was a ****in WRESTLER, started at 19/20 y old and made it to the top, then why a gifted MMA fighter couldn't do it. Do you think there is a curse that if you learn jiujitsu and kicks, your chin will get weak and that your hands will become slow?

It'd be hard for them to switch over to boxing after practicing just MMA.

Boxing involves a lot more than just the technique of throwing punches. You got footwork, head movement, feints, working out of the clinch, all the nuances.

A Boxer for that matter wouldn't be super successful in the MMA either unless he got a favorable matchup. But a Boxer would always have a punchers chance in the MMA.

Most MMA fighters with their sloppy ass striking skills wouldn't stand a chance in Boxing though
