"MMA is for guys who can't box" Tyson Fury

Correct. And boxing is for guys who can't wrestle, or do Muay Thai, or win an MMA fight.
 
Boxers and their fans are so sensitive. They just need to accept they are the beta in this relationship already.
 
Being paid to be punched is for guys who aren't good at shit.
- Any person about combat sports.

So don't think to high of yourself Mr. Fury.
 
Inactivity why? Oh yeah, cause he's old as shit and retired. The entire purpose of retirement for athletes is erosion of skills. Nobody is at their best at age 40, who are you kidding?
This person is clearly a casual if they think Conor and fucking Nate Diaz are the best boxers in MMA. No sense in arguing with them. They don’t know any better.
 
Or it's because certain people excel in different sports than others? Do you really think that anybody from the NFL, Soccer, Basketball, etc, could come over and be a great fighter?

Being a good fighter doesn't always have to do with being the best athlete. Fighting is the rawest and most pure form of sport out there. It's the most emotional and physically demanding thing you can do as a career. Being the best fighter in the world or even top 5 is not easy to do just like it's not easy to get into the big leagues of other team sports, but fighting requires a different kind of ability besides just athletic ability. We've seen quite a few former NFL guys try their hand at MMA and they fucking sucked even though they were trying for many years.

People are better in certain sports than others. I love how a lot of idiots here shit on MMA fighters and talk about how they couldn't make it in any other sport when in reality it has nothing to do with that. Maybe it's because these people love martial arts and enjoy fighting because they enjoy the competition (not hurting anybody, but competing to be the best, make sense?). Some of you guys really have no idea what you're talking about and are just unrealistic about pretty much everything. Some people are just better than others at certain things. These guys/girls pursued being an MMA fighter, they didn't end up there by accident. They chose this career and it's not because they couldn't make it in a different sport, it's because this is the sport they enjoy more than anything else.

If you love something so much and put your mind to it, you put everything to it, there's a chance of success. They wanted to be fighters. If they wanted to be in some other sport, odds are they would still be trying to do that. You don't become a fighter by accident. You work for this shit and you work VERY fucking hard. Most of you wouldn't know that though because you're disrespectful little cunts that don't know anything about fighting or what these people do to get to where they are in such a brutal sport. Most of you would quit the gym after one fucking beating out of embarrassment. Very few of you would ever get in the cage. Shut up.

Wow bro. You are an inspiration. Nearly brought a tear to my eye. Nearly.

You see former footballers (to use them as an example in this specific case) and the like not succeed in mma but you are cheating by grading them on a curve. If you put random football player and get him to train mma at the same point in life that lets say Colin started mma, he would perhaps make it a lot further then the result you state.

Case in point, in football terms Brendan Schaub made it to about the 99%tile in the world of football and still couldn't get close to actually playing pro. But in MMA all things considered (and consider he sucked the fucking big time) he beat Cro Cop, an elite alltime great level guy, could have beat Arlovski, a 2 time champ, gonzaga who some would say was top level, and that is Brendan Schaub, who like I said, wasn't that good, but got a lot closer in that then in his life long pirsuit of the NFL, by putting in about 5 years work into a pro MMA career, which in the overall looks like the slutty phase a girl went through one summer in the grand scheme of a whole life in between middle and high school. You might understand that at some point when you stop being beta and girls talk a bit to you. Hold in there, it'll come good eventually.

Now continuing, put colin in football at the age the footballer began to play football, and he doesn't make a coed team, or in a way you might understand a bit more, he doesn't even get picked first to play on his lunch time team to play with his buddies.

You shut your trap, ya assclown bitch.
 
That’s like saying boxing is for those who can’t do anything but box.
 
Was Floyd a current top 10 boxer when they fought? Nobody is in their prime at 40, and he still lost badly, and dude hung out at burger king just to get heavy enough to weigh in at 150.
ur point about his age makes no sense
bernard hopkins dominated younger high level boxers well into his 40s
 
Maybe in the past. Nowadays kid are training ufc from the start and not taking up ufc because they cant hang in a boxing ring.
 
To be fair no UFC fighter could do well in boxing except for maybe Conor and Nate

personally, i think both of those wouldn't get far in boxing even if they dedicated their time to boxing for the next 10 yrs..

Can I get some bro ?
 
Boxing is for incomplete fighters.
 
What do you guys think about this? I mean Tyson is right I think. No fighter in the Ufc can box like Fury can. Thoughts?
Tyson is a big guy who almost got slept by a past his prime Cruiserweight and barely got past a zombiefied Wladimir Klitschko. If Wladimir did anything besides just stand there he would've won if he would've fought like he did agianst Joshua he would've won even his jab jab jab jab hold jab jab left hook hold hold jab jab jab right straight would've won Wlad did nothing but let Tyson win. Fury is a big guy with a bit of power who knows he has nothing for Joshua or Wilder so he's blowing all his money on coke probably hanging out with Hatton and Calzaghe.
 
Most of the guys that pick up MMA in their 20's and become successful at an elite level, typically have a tenured background in wrestling, kick boxing, or other combat sports at a high level. (Cormier, Wonderboy, etc.) Didn't Deontay Wilder, 38-0 and a top 3 HW boxer in the world, not pick up boxing until 20?
Wilder still hasn't fought anyone above can level, his team is to afraid he gets smashed by any legit contender, and they can't have that 0 taken until they can cash him out against Joshua.
 
Meh, fighters don't get paid for their intelligence. All boxers are closet terrified of fighting MMA fighters in an MMA ring anyways (except James Tony)
