Boxers would be absolutely lost the first time they experienced a kick to their legs

Even if a top UFC fighter came into boxing, and started winning? I would not be bothered, as I do kind of like the cross over matches 'But I think it is fair to have those fights happen inside a boxing ring' because boxing is not a alien discipline to Mixed Martial Art fighters etc.

All of these debates originate from 'People in the Mixed Martial Arts world believing? They are the more superior athletes, the most feared athletes on the face of the planet' This is the attitude which the sport installs in its participants 'On all levels' it is apart of the culture.

I have come across this culture in my life 'Boxing does not have that same culture'.

That's not going to happen. Not on a respectable level. Boxing and striking in MMA are totally different.

Of course you will have the occasional boxer finding some success in the octagon or the occasional mixed martial artist finding some success in the ring.

I am saying on an overall basis, they are different sports with different sets of rules, regulations, and disciplines and when the 2 go head to head, boxers will tend to win in boxing matches and UFC fighters will win in UFC fights. I think that’s a pretty rational viewpoint.

But I do believe most of the back and forth of this “boxing vs UFC” was initiated by fans and practitioners of UFC. They seem to have a huge disrespect for boxing as a sport and as a discipline. They seem to be very conceited when speaking about it.
