I agree with Tyson also, if you like fighting how the fuck can't like mma?
Because their concepts are totally different. Boxing is about two men squaring off in a level laying field. Fist fighting has always been the way to settle disputes in most countries around the world before it was even made a sport. Whether it's two guys fighting over a girl or two fellas who disagree over something. MMA is the polar opposite of boxing in that sense.

Yea, all sports have their good and bad points, boxing included. Those guys that try to make boxing or mma seem better by talking bad bout other sports, whilst disregarding anything bad about theirs is just as bad.

Em, Greco-Roman wrestling was invented in the early to mid-1800's by Jean Exbrayat, originally called "flat hand wrestling" and only picked up the "Greco-Roman" name as a marketing tool.
