Boxing is probably the best style to use in a street fight, specially when more than 2 people are involved.
Let's be honest. Sherdog has this weird obsession with boxers as if they are basically God's that are untouchable. But let's be real. Boxing ON ITS OWN, key words here, is weaker than almost all martial arts. I'm not even talking MMA because everyone already know they would kill a boxer like a child. I'm talking singular martial arts.
Muy Thai vs boxer? Muy Thai destroys the legs of the boxer, destroys him in the clinch, knees and elbows his head in.
Wrestler vs boxer? Wrestler slams boxer on his head and kills him.
BJJ vs boxer? Slams him on his head and strangles him to death.
Judo vs boxer? Same as above
Sambo? Same as above.
Karate? Gets head kicked KOed inside 1 minute.
I'm an amatuer Boxer currently so I'm not biased. Boxing MIXED with other combat forms is amazing. But alone vs other combat forms. Limited
Not sure you're smart enough to get it. People aren't obsessed with boxing. People simply strongly defend the idea that you can't just cross over to boxing and beat an elite fighter. That's just it.
I don't think you realize how ignorant you are by saying boxing is weak. Boxing is one of the most practical and effective forms of combat. Almost everyone throw hands in real life confrontations. Knowing boxing would be a major advantage to anyone. It's true that a BJJ guy can TD a boxer and sub him. But it's also true that, if for some reason he manages not to get the TD right away, which in certain real life scenarios can happen, for lack of space or something else, the BJJ guy is fucked.
All competitive combat sports can be effective and have their importance. To try to put one above the other is just a sign of insecurity. It's great to know how to fight. BJJ can be wonderful. Karaté can be wonderful. Boxing can be wonderful too. Most of the real fights i've seen in my life were just punches. Even when they involve guys who have grappling training. For some reason, people punch first, unless they're girls.

Lol it's so weak that the biggest star in the history of the fucking sport uses it as not only his base but as virtually his only effective means of offense; and it won him belts in two weight classes by KO within two Rds in one fight, and w/in 14 seconds in the other. Name me another base that generates ko's as quickly as boxing lol I'll wait.
Lol I know fast accurate punches scares people like ts but it's the best method to get rid of someone quick. lol at saying boxing is weak. Lol ts thinks a takedown, reversal, back points, and leg riding is more effective in a fight than a haymaker to the mouth.

Bingo. Boxing is the strongest for a few reasons. Ones that come to mind are 1. The level of competition is very high since its a lucrative sport. 2.The practitioners are completely focused on perfection. Mma has to be weakest since the athletes can not be extremely efficient is all of the disciplines as there are too many. I once read an article about which martial art would be more effective in a bar room fight eg.Boxing seemed to the preferred discipline.Boxing is one of the best practical martial arts since most fights are fist fights and end up quickly, often with 1 clean punch.
Ofcourse being versatile is the best, not argument here.
he did?Conor demonstrated conclusively that MMA strikers can hang with the boxing elite.
sports BJJ guys can't effectively level change and put you on your ass like a wrestler can and they have no training to defend against strikes so I would honestly bet on the boxer nailing him to the wall as he comes forward.Not sure you're smart enough to get it. People aren't obsessed with boxing. People simply strongly defend the idea that you can't just cross over to boxing and beat an elite fighter. That's just it.
