I like Boxing....fights like Gatti-Ward That said....You're wrong about the boxers...Good boxers would be destroyed by most of the Top MMA fighters. |

I admit that I am un-educated on that type of fighting, but the old school boxers were finely tuned fighting machines. These guys just look like nothing more than bar room brawlers.

Most any of the professional MMA fighters would take mike tyson to the ground, sit on him and beat him until he looked like michael jackson.
Alot of boxers have tried it.....its a highly skilled sport for very tough guys. The original MMA-Ultimate fight tourns were actually Karate BB, Jui jitsu, Wrestlers, Boxers.... |

I wrestled all through college(my toughest competition was a state champ from Waterloo), and boxed for 4 years, and am an avid UCF fan...this is where someone tells me I don't know what I am talking about. |

It's why he's never beaten anyone worth a damn and why he's done. It's why an average boxer like Lennox Lewis just ruined his $#it. Fighting is more than your fists and your biceps...

Talk about a downward spiral ![]() MMA has run the brawlers out of the sport... the guys can't hang any more. There was a day when a Dan Severen or Tank Abott could walk into the ring and simply pummel his opponent into submision. Those days are long gone. Today's pro MMA fighters are too well trained and too balanced to allow it to happen. Hell, even strikers like Chuck Liddell are schooled in grappling.

I'll just have to try to ignore my first impressions and check it out. Immaculate is right, boxing IS dead. I miss those days.

I enjoy boxing...but the heavyweight division has nothing to offer, and most of the middleweights I like are getting old. I wish there was a Vinny Pazienza to root for these days. I'd taken to Gatti, but he's done.
