You tap out in boxing and you will never hear the end of it.

MMA is ridiculous

Boxing. In mma, if you're a seasoned grappler you can rest in certain positions without much trouble and gather yourself. You can win with pure grappling.

In boxing, clinches get broken up quickly and you are getting punched in the head repeatedly throughout the fight.

Just looking an annual death tolls should tell you that boxers sustain a lot more serious damage in their sport through time. It takes some heart to constantly do it.

Here's the thing though, there has been MMA fighters (Gracies in particular) that have had elbows dislocated and limbs broken and they go on to fight, not tap. The average UFC guy won't do this but there are some damn gutsy guys out there literally risking life and limb.

No heart in MMA?!? Chris Leben makes Gatti look like a quitter. Seriously, dude out cold, eyes closed still swinging.

Wow. Overstatement of the century.

Heart is in the fighter not the sport.

Hardly, that fool seriously has been out cold still swinging, comes back awake and wins the fight. How many boxers can say that. He's a wild ass brawler but when I saw him take do that he got my respect bigtime.
