Dana White saying Mayweather would....

[mrlopez]

No top notch boxer wins against an MMA fighter in the octagon

fixed it for you

[Cinci Champ]

sounds about right to me unless your talking about a floyd that trains his entire life for ufc. just like the best mma guy would get crushed fighting the best boxers in the world.

[Chex31]

Only moron here is you, GSP is by far the SUPERIOR ATHLETE. That doesn't doesn't take away anything from PBF's boxing acumen.

LOL

Replace Floyd with Manny (who trained kickboxing when he was young) against Aldo, who if he chose to stand with Manny would get lit up the second he threw a strike.

anyways, PRIDE FC was MMA's peak

Dana White is dumb. Who cares if he get ****ed up in the octogone. Put some boxing to the best boxer in MMA against Floyd and see who gets beat up. Why does he need to keep talking abt boxers vs mma fighters in the octogone. Its time for a mma fighter to put his boxing glove so we laught a bit

Look that's ignorance on your part, I'm a 100% boxing fan! I watch some mma here and there but it will never capture my attention like boxing! That bent said, there's plenty of guys that are as good as if not better athletes than Mayweather, guys like St. Pierre for example, then there's guys in the general MMA world that are far more dedicated to their respective sport as well such as Rickson Gracie!

And to be fair to Dana White he was asked the question in an interview and he answered fairly and truthfully, Mayweather wouldn't compete in the octagon! He also stated that MMA guys couldn't compete with boxers in a ring!

Not even close. Joke talk. Floyd Mayweather is dramatically more coordinated and controlled as an athlete. He's more explosive and more intelligently operated.

Comparing him to this guy and "others" isn't just ridiculous. It's unfair. Floyd Mayweather is in a completely different class. I'm embarrassed for you.

Hey Dana, stop comparing horse **** to a New York steak. There is no equivalence between the two sports. One sport appeals to a mostly white audience hungry to see other whites actually win bouts. While another has a history that is etched into the American fabric. When Joe Louis was on deck against Max Schmeling he represented the USA at a critical point in our Nation's history.

What does the UFC stand for, or more precisely why does a punk like White get to talk like he has any real meaning?

Yikes, all credibility thrown out the window. Ignorance is bliss.

[GeneralZod]

Different sports no real reason to compare.

ridiculous. Martial application is martial application. Guys in boxing specialize in just punching, thus making them generally more efficient and destructive overall with punches than any mma fighter. The great ko artists of boxing would look like murderers in the octagon, due to those gloves. This cannot be stressed enough. The concussive force and added piercing power afforded by those gloves would magnify a 1 punch ko artist's already devastating punching power to maiming and even lethal levels.

Mma guys largely overspecialize, thus diluting their overall focus and artistry. A jack of all trades is a master of none.



According to what? Fatass shot ass James Toney? What prime boxing champion has tried his hand at mma? None. Why? Well its gonna stay that way there is simply more money for the fighters in boxing than in UFC. Dana White fleeces his fighters. That's why boxers don't go over to mma and disgrace the name of the discipline until they are washed up, castoffs, or broke ass retirees.



Umm. Mma is at most what.... 3 5 minute rounds? There are boxers that train to throw over 1000 punches in 12 rounds.. so lets say in 46 minutes thats 1000.. thats roughly 333 punches thrown in 15 minutes. Point me to an mma fighter capable of throwing 333 good punches over 3 5 minute rounds. While your at it link me footage of the match. Ill be generous.. kicks can count too. So 333 strikes.

Needless to say, it can be easily argued the best boxers also have better conditioning.



its not about Mayweather's athleticism completely. It his artistry.. his mentality. Simply put, he's a martial prodigy. He would excel at any martial discipline much like Bruce Lee did, another martial prodigy.

Where Bruce mislead people is his method of diluting disciplines only truly works for martial prodigies like him. Everyone else should pick a specialization, and strive to perfect it.

Schooling these tards.

wooooooooow puts to bed mma vs. boxing in 1 post. green K mate

[p4p-champ]

I don't like Dana White but what he said is true. But, it works both ways, if an MMA fighter came over to boxing, he'd get his ass whooped just the same.
