Why don’t boxers accept MMA is better

[tssfJEXnsrb]

A MMA guy will win in a fight vs a boxer
Also MMA guys are more legitimate they got fight the best all the time

[emilbobbycooper]

Not really, it depends on who you are talking to.

[stayhomeneet]

Man honestly the whole MMA vs boxing thing is just so boring now.

People like what they like, me I'm more of a boxing fan because I find the ground game boring to watch, no need for my personal opinion of what I find more entertaining to "trigger" anyone.

I appreciate MMA and watch it quite a bit but I just PREFER a high level boxing match.

As far as "who's more hard" I really, REALLY do not care because nobody fighting on the streets has got a brain in their head anyway and 9 times out of 10 those fights are won by the guy with more friends with him.

How many guys does UFC even have signed to a given division?


There are many more boxers than UFC fighters. UFC is a private company. The talent pool in boxing is a lot deeper

[ElSexisimo]

They do. That's why you don't see many boxers attempting to fight MMA fighters in MMA.

[ProudKraut]

Agree. Boxing is throwing hands without actually fighting. like those "walking races" where people try to walk as fast as possible without actually running. Absolutely pointless.

Brb Imma kill ya fegit (but pls don't kick or use knees/elbows)

If people dont like ground game... I can partially understand, but then kickboxing or muay thai is 1000x more exciting.

Saying an MMA fighter would beat a boxer in disciplines the boxer doesn't even train is redundant. If it were a boxing match....mma fighters themselves will tell you how much boxers outclass them (obviously).

So you're watching the two for entirely different reasons, because they're not the same.

[HtotheOV]

never understood this. Boxers literally train ZERO grappling/submissions/kicking/etc whereas all MMA fighters train boxing or some level of striking yet boxers embarrass them in the ring.

would love to see a high level boxer make the switch and train grappling/TDD for months and then fight in the octagon. I think Clarissa Shields will be the closest to that we get when she makes her MMA debut as she’s training with Olympic wrestlers and BJJ.

A lot do. That is why the boxing guys always make it clear that they would win a boxing match, they always specify boxing because they know they would get wrecked in a real fight.

Have you heard of Holly Holm?

Two completely different sports

What's a "real fight"?

The one outside a nightclub where it generally comes down to who has more friends?

[Latinowarrior3]

I prefer boxing personally but to each their own. I haven't been in a real fight in years, but the only time someone tried to grab you was when they were losing.

[ipunchurgirl]

I would knock ur clown ass out op I can guarantee that. No real fighters make retarded threads like this

[Swept]

They do. That's why you don't see many boxers attempting to fight MMA fighters in MMA.

How many real boxers are attempting to fight mma fighters in boxing to begin with? It’s always mma fighters wanting to box

A clear demonstration on why boxing is just simply the genetically superior sport:

Remember when MMA guys were absolutely fawning over McGregor's supposed punching power when McGregor was knocking out manlets?

"Nuclear left hand!" they proclaimed.

"If McGregor lands that left hand, it's guaranteed lights out for anyone!"

"World class power!"

Then when the whole spectacle of Mayweather vs Mcgregor was building up, MMA guys swore up and down that Mcgregor had a puncher's chance because of how utterly devastating his punching power seemed in MMA.

What they didn't into consideration was that there are levels to the fight game.

Knocking out MMAnlets who are bush league athletes with trash genetics isn't anywhere in the same galaxy as knocking out elite world wide fighting talent found in boxing.

MMA guys, for some reason or another, cannot recognize that there are levels.

The best athlete at your local highschool basketball team isn't in the same universe as the best athlete in the NBA.

MMA guys cannot comprehend. In their world, anything they see happening in MMA MUST mean it's the pinnacle of the world.

Having knockout power in MMA isn't ever going to be comparable to having knock out power in boxing.

The hardest puncher in a group of genetic trash in MMA can never weight as much as having world class knockout power in boxing.

Which is why it came such a shock to MMA meatheads when Mcgregor got exposed as feather fisted in his fight vs Mayweather.

Their worldview was shattered, and for the first time, they realize there's levels to this.

Remember, you don't judge who is the best fighter based on disciplines.

Anyone can learn a discipline. It doesn't require anything special. If kickboxing paid out 30 million a fight, Mayweather and Pacquaio would have learned to kick since they were young, and would end up kicking harder and faster than any body in the history of MMA.

If shooting in for a takedown paid 50 million for a super fight, Mike Tyson would have shot in faster than any wrestler in the history of wrestling, and snapped an arm faster than any BJJ reject in the history of BJJ.

But they don't. So the superior athlete, superior fighter, superior genetic specimen all went to boxing.

It isn't discipline. It's genetics. Nagasaki blackpill for you MMA doofuses.

I bought into the hype for Mcgregor vs May I was thinking Floyd is old, retired and Mcgregor probably does have OK power and he's a lot bigger.

Within literally 10 seconds of the fight after Conor threw his first 2 or 3 punches I knew I'd been had lol.

[q0c0p]

I watch both so I just laugh at people arguing for their sport lol

[bfdehewdbyywhn]

not true

best boxing fights > best mma fights


but mma fights on average are better

[HtotheOV]

not true

best boxing fights > best mma fights


but mma fights on average are better

as both a huge MMA and boxing fan I would agree with this

average UFC PPV main event>>>average Boxing PPV main event

but give me the GOAT boxing match any day
