MMA fighters can't fight and that sport won't last much longer.

[PRINCEKOOL]

You mean the Fury/AJ fight we've been waiting for for years already? lets see if it even happens first.

Look how emotional you're getting lmao. I'm obviously a fan of both sports but anyone with half a brain knows MMA fighters beat boxers 90% of the time as long as the rules allow them to use their entire skillset, and anyone thats being objective can see that boxing will never again occupy the same position in the combat sports world that it used to now that MMA is around. I know this makes you and some other boxing heads salty and insecure but thats the reality, doesnt mean boxing isnt a great sport.

But boxing is not trying to be mixed martial arts, so your point that 'A Mixed Martial Arts fighter would do this and that with their entire skill set, is irrelevant'.

Goodness me when are Mixed Martial Arts fighters going to face anyone their own size? Weird mentality they have, and I know why they have that mentality.

I know the types of people that gravitate towards that sport, they can be complete weasels at times 'Askens threatened to do this and that to Paul outside of the ring, if he wanted to'.

Mixed Martial Arts fighters never challenge boxers in their own weight class.

What position are you talking about? Ngannou is the UFC heavyweight champion, does he really have the prestige globally of any of the past great heavyweight boxing champions? No.

Why is that mate? The reason why he does not have the prestige is because the UFC fan-base is in part is made up of Online Gamers, WWE fans 'People that will chop and change real quick, they will most likely switch off from combat sports in the future'.

[Repens]

I did not like the way Askens threatened Jake Paul, that if he seen him on the street he could do this and that 'This is the overall arrogant attitude Mixed Martial Artist have'.

Boxers should cross train, specifically in wrestling as I think? It would help their boxing, inside clinches etc I know David Haye used to employ such training methods.

And if by any chance a Mixed Martial artist pipes up outside the ring, their initial attacks could be nullified enough for them to be ****** out.

I get what you're saying but I dont like the idea of encouraging clinching.

Making **** up again you fraud how can we have been waiting for years? Fury was an obese bum years ago he for back into shape and had fought wilder and will now fight Joshua we haven't been waiting years.

Fury was in a world title fight two and a half years ago.

MMA guys are low level and can't fight

Low level at what? and how can they not fight if the only way a boxer can beat them in a fight is by competing under a ruleset that takes away 75% of the MMA guys fighting skills?

Multiple boxers have crossed over to that joke sport and had success he'll Connor McGregor was a boxer as an amateur not a very good one but the way Holly holm crossed over and spanked UFC queen. Ronda mercer crossed over and sparked a former UFC champ mark potter a low level boxer who got beaten by one armed Danny Williams had a 4-1 MMA record.

First off EVERYONE "crosses over" into that sport from something. You obviously dont understand how it works because you're ignorant.

Calling Conor (a BJJ brown belt who uses kicks etc effectively and had been fighting in MMA professionally for 5 years before he even entered the UFC) a "boxer" is a stretch. Holly Holm was also a kickboxer in addition to a boxer and then transitioned into MMA and had plenty of experience in it by the time she fought Ronda, shes also lost 3 straight right atfer than win and she is a ****ing woman so who cares the talent pool in both sports sucks for women. Mercer did land a lucky punch on a fat sloth Sylvia (who had been stopped in 36 seconds in his previous fight) but then he also got tapped out by Kimbo ****ing Slice. Mark Potter fought in British domestic level MMA and the guys he beat have a combined record of 10-29.

On the other hand we have Lucas Browne, a low level MMA fighter who went 29-2 in boxing and entered the top 10 at one point. 26-15 in MMA Fabio Maldonado going 26-4 in boxing lasting the distance at 40+ against guys like Takam and current top 10 ranked Rivas when he'd already been KO'd multiple times in MMA including a 35 second KO loss to Stipe. 13-15 MMA fighter Artem Lobov beating former world champion Paulie in a bare knuckle boxing match. Jarrell Miller going undefeated in boxing, entering the top 10 and being set to face AJ when a few years earlier he'd lost twice in kickboxing to an old post-UFC Cro Cop who had been brutally KO'd in MMA multiple times. Robert Helenius being gifted a hometown decision as an amateur vs Kharitanov etc etc.

That's the thing MMA fans constantly try to compare MMA to real fighting because it's not even a real sport is a tough man contest. Boxing is an actual sport MMA is not

What people like you don’t realise is that I we don’t watch boxing because we think it’s a ‘real’ fight. It’s a sport.

But boxing is not trying to be mixed martial arts, so your point that 'A Mixed Martial Arts fighter would do this and that with their entire skill set, is irrelevant'.

They can for sure fight.

I don't really understand the Boxing vs Mixed Martial arts match ups outside the ring.

Boxers in my opinion should to a degree cross train, and I do know? That some fighters have employed these tactics.

I honestly think Wrestling training would benefit a boxer. Even in their own sport.

And if push does come to shove outside the ring? They would be more competent in competing with a Mixed Martial Arts fighter.

I think Mixed Martial Arts fighter would soon pipe down, if this was the case.

It is also the fitness and energy systems used in wrestling which, I just think are good for cross training 'Cross training is done all the time, it is not a new concept'.

A youtuber and a retired MMA fighter with fake hip just headlined a major boxing event and your'e saying MMA won't last long?

[Punch on Tap]

Neither sport is going anywhere. When looking at if something is going to die, and this goes for anything, look at its roots.

Major events don’t carry these sports solely. It’s the tens of thousands of small gyms and academy’s spread all over the world and dozens of local events held weekly that eventually feed life into the big ones.

The thing with MMA is it's a joke and **** American sport for *******uals and WWE fans it'll shrink in terms of popularity like wwe did and had already started shrinking. It's not a real sport when the ****** knuckle dressing fans start saying oh it's real fighting it just furthers three point it's not a sport is a joke. It's like basketball players saying if best a tennis players ass who givesa ****? It's a **** sport for inbref Hicks's and the skull level is low. A shot retired Floyd Mayweather toyed with his food when fighting a two weight world champ in Connor he literally played with him and didn't throw any punches for six rounds then started hitting him and he folded straight away.

i believe that a top boxer has a better chance at the octagon than a top MMA fighter in the ring, the thing is, top boxer are getting paid very well even if they aren't that famous as some of the UFC fighters.

I actually said Ben would lose badly and also that Mir/USS would be more competitive than people were claiming it would be, and would probably go the distance.

The thing is, I am a big fan of both. If some MMA tards were talking **** about boxing I would absolutely defend it. I actually think rationally discussing the merits of both etc is an interesting topic. Unfortunately the tribalism and blind pride/defensiveness means these threads are usually ****ing ******ed.
