thats why u see brock lesnar headlining pay per views and getting handed title shots in his first 2 fights ...in boxing you have to be atleast 20-0 to start getting any kind of recognition ...boxers are true professionals, mma fighters are not

The only people that compare MMA to boxing and boxing to MMA are fan boys. I have to hear "Boxing is dying!' or "MMA is for ****sexuals" everywhere I go.
Overall I'm a fight fan, even though I'm not a fan of the UFC my favorite MMA fighters are in the UFC though and I support them 100%. Kinda like how I hate showtime, but order it anyway to watch my boy Andre Ward fight and to see my boys at Strikeforce.
There's one thing I guarantee you though, the UFC is a fad and the downfall is coming real soon. The lifespan of a PPV business doesn't go beyond 30 years. Don't take my word for it, ask Pro Wrestling. The difference between Pro Wrestling and the UFC though is that Pro Wrestling can always be better, UFC can't. Once there draws are gone, what's gonna happen? You can already see the downfall happening this past year.Last edited by Las Vegas,; 09-02-2011, 10:09 AM.

in boxing theres no boxer with glass chin?? really? in mma u have guys who come out and put it all on the line where as in boxing like i mention before u have guys who show up and dont even wanna fight. when im paying $40+ for ppv i dont want to see only one guy attacking while the other guy is running. in boxing half of the time u have 1 guy talking as if he's gonna beat the living ***** out of his opponent then come fight night its totally opposite.. now i know in ufc u get that sometimes also but the chances of that happening is less compare to boxing.

in boxing when u put to 2 no namers against eachother its most likely gonna be a boring fight for all 12 rounds with lil to no excitement.. in mma if u put 2 no namers together one guy is still gonna get choked or tapped out because in mma theres so much that u can do. u are not just limited to using your hands. in boxing if the other guy doesnt wanna fight then theres really not much u can do. u cant take him down and pound him where as in mma u can so its less boring.
