    boring

    Ronda is in a sideshow division and will go to Hollywood soon and the Conor train is coming to an end in a few months. Canelo has more staying power.

      No longer the case. The UFC champion is now the baddest man on the planet. The general public knows that the UFC champion would kick the boxing champ in the head, or choke them unconscious in a matter of seconds. A pro boxer is helpless in a real fight against a skilled MMA fighter.
      oh yeah, Werdum's name is sung in third world villages!

        Plus the ufc makes all the big fights as where in boxing guys like Manny duck Floyd for 10 years and everybody ducking GGG.
        I was a boxing fan before a MMA fan but recently I agree with you I like MMA more. There's no bs excuses the best fight the best. In the US boxing is dying no one cares about it anymore. There was only hype for Mayweather vs Pacquiao after that no one cares. The one guy that can keep boxing relevant is Canelo, he's very popular among Hispanic's and has a decent style to watch to appeal to the casuals.

          Can't we move all these MMA threads?

          It's always the same arguments, every year. A bunch of people who barely follow MMA telling boxing fans that their sport is being killed off.

          Yes, everything is perfect in MMA...no issues there.

            Probably not, UFC gave CM Punk a contract, they're desperate for publicity.

              And the badest man alive is valdimer klitchko. He Literally whips any man on earth. I'd wager the entirety of my 401k.
              Well it's a good thing that you're not a ******** man, because you don't know what you're talking about here.

              Wlad would get kicked, taken down and choked unconscious or have a limb ripped off. No one buys him as the baddest man on the planet.

              The UFC champs are the baddest men and women on the planet.

                no ufc is not bigger and never will be. it will have times where it seems better where a star comes around but overall boxing will always be bigger and better imo.

                  i would put money on wlad actually. guy would not be clueless he actually is a hell of a kick boxer so its not like hes clueless in other forms of fighting. the only chance they would have is submission but does that really make u the baddest man on the planet? not in my book it dont to me if ur trying to prove ur the baddest man on planet bending someones arm backwards not really doing it for me

                      Yes it does dip****. UFC draws more PPV buys than boxing. You cant point to the money a fighter makes since UFC was smart enough not to let the fighters get the lions share of the money.
