      im not sure why people say grappling takes more energy out of you than boxing, i highly doubt it. Throwing a ton of punches, sticking and moving, moving your head, angles, etc. probably takes more, what do you think?

        Totally different in terms of cardio.

        I don't watch much MMA but I'd be willing to bet the punches thrown per round is a pitiful number compared to boxing. Do they even count punches?

        Same as far as moving your feet and moving around the ring.

        Rolling around on the ground is taxing but it's a totally different kind of workout when compared to boxing.

        When an MMA fight goes to the ground it goes slooooooow as hell, it looks like one man struggling desperately to mount another man for sexual relations :gay:

          How about aboutfkntime and Robbie Barrett? Aboutfkntime handles Floyd's taxes and Robbie Barrett fantasizes of Floyd reading him bedtime stories. Two major morons who can't get enough Mayweather meat.

            I trained MMA after my Am's days and when you're on the ground, its a form of rest. It's easier than it looks you're just going to have to take my word on that. Staying on your feet is more demanding. MMA fighters pace themselves and the output is low.

            The reason why Floyd is the best is because he's at his weight all the time roughly. That's my generation of fighters. They didn't have to cut weight because they were like 10lbs heavier than fight weight at all times.

            If you got to cut 10lbs in 15 days, it taxes your body. I've been there and that's the deal. When you're on weight, you perform at the highest level.

              Expected him to be heavier
              He use to fight at 145. His size advantage is exaggerated.

                You're right. The MMA gym I trained it was known for being brutal with training methods. I was years out of the Am's but still working out hard. The calisthenics they did, dudes were huffing and puffing and I wasn't even breathing heavy. I was like, these cats are weak. Lots of them didn't run either, they didn't believe in it.

                  Yeah but he looked like a literal skeleton.

                  Weighed in 168 for fhe Diaz fights.

                  He's massive. Towered over Alvarez in their fight.

                  He's close to 170 when he's hydrated.

                    He walks around at 170 pounds at 5 foot 9, he aint fighting at 147, he is fighting at 154 so this weight will be nothing, you can easily hit the sauna the day before weigh in and sap a good 10 to 15 pounds water weight.

                    The weigh ins are now in the morning now correct? 9 am and then they do a weigh in show for the fans at 3 pm.

                    Or does that only apply to UFC not boxing?
