Are the next great generation of boxers already in MMA?

[VicariousVice]

Why not? Ronda Rousey, with nary any real striking skills, was able to dominate a weight class because her judo/grappling was world's better than any fighter's grappling (with the depth of striking skills largely lacking at the weight).

There you go thinking WMMA speaks for MMA as a whole again. Ronda being the champion of WBW means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Because Womens' MMA is atleast a decade behind Men's MMA and doesn't have 1/10th the talent.

Because every Male fighter knows Jiu Jitsu now and has TDD and would know exactly what to do against Royce.

Royce was just a BJJ Player that took everyone by surprise, he wouldn't have that going for him in this day and age. He proved that BJJ is a vital part of an MMA fighters arsenal, but he wouldn't have enough skills to compete today.

It's the same reason no pure Wrestler or Pure striker(having no training in any other discipline) would have a chance to compete with the best.

Being good in one area alone only gets you so far... unless you're competing in WMMA, which like I said is the lowest level and most underdeveloped of the sport(no offense too them, but it's a fact)

Lets be real about this Connor murders Floyd.

Tyson is a street fighter, so is mayorga and a few others those guys thrive in any combat sport.

Floyd is about style and the rules protecting him. The second Connor yanks his arm Floyd would be tapping faster than your wanking hand to an Errol spence fight.

I honestly think that Floyd would spark Conor inside a round in a boxing match. I couldn't see Conor being even remotely competitive with a top 10 welterweight.

He doesn't have to be either, that's not his job.

what a stupid thread

The undisputed queen of shit threads is calling this a bad thread lol

Was it that we didn't suck Floyd dick that made you mad bro

[Zaryu]

I highly doubt the next generation of boxers are in MMA. No idea why someone talented enough to be a professional boxer would go with the smaller, lesser paying job. If anything, I would say people who can't be successful at boxing may end up in MMA.

Seriously.

Connor with his speed and power would be a top Jr welter or lightweight champ. Jon Jones kills at cruiser or maybe lt heavy. GSP would've been an elite middle.

Lmao elite fighters dont gas out in rd 2 ie Conor Mc***ger. Gsp and Bones jones are elite fighters tho but i doubt they make it in boxing without taking an L. Jones is over 200lbs so he wouldnt be a cruiser & id bet a paycheck Wilder KOs him inside 4. Gsp gets KO'd by GGG in 2. Fact of the matter is man, i deal with guys like u on a daily basis, I train my kids pure boxing in an MMA gym UFC gym Corona Ca (look it up if u want) & there are many pro MMA fighters at the gym that give me and my kids a really hard time about boxing. It bothered me for a while but i began to realize theyre just hating. My 9, 10, & 13 year old train harder than any adult there. They would make fun of us jumping rope but my kids jump rope like beast & these pro mmaguys cant skip for a round and my kids are doing 30mins straight. We sprint 1/2 miles in 3:00mins and jog up to 7.5 miles but were kicked off the machines because my kids are a "liability" because they can get hurt. Point of me saying this is to be a champion boxer elite conditioning & athleticism is required, most of these mma guys lack one or the other. You can get by in mma just by being strong. Theres a science to boxing and everything has to work like a well oiledmachine to be st the top, & the reason why guys like u & in my gym hate is because u can never acheive that. Also mma fans like u fail to realize the "hard work & dedication" guys like Floyd have, im not necessarily a fan but I TOTALLY respect the mans work ethic & athletic ability. Im quite sure if Floyd wouldve dedicated his craft to MMA, hed be top echelon, thats just how an amazing athlete he is. Any mma fighter or fan that wants to dis boxing is a straight hater because if it werent for boxing, youd be watching old bruce lee movies to see any kind of martial arts on tv...
