I know you are young but have you watched any of the early MMA contests with pure boxers that hadn't crosstrained?Yoel romero is tiny compared to fury. Size matters you idiot.

Yoel literally does what he wants to Tyson Fury. Someone like Josh Barnett or Daniel Cormier could demolish Tyson Fury and then two more top ten boxers in one sitting. Easy tappings like an episode of Bully Beatdown.Yoel romero is tiny compared to fury. Size matters you idiot.
To be fair no UFC fighter could do well in boxing except for maybe Conor and Nate
Wrestling/Judo/BJJ have no striking and a fuck ton of rules. Not close to a real fight but respected by the MMA community.MMA is much closer to a real fight. Still not perfect OFC I'd have zero rules but wrestler would be 100% UFC instead of 75% since once you can control another man head buts, fingers to eyes, and knees to head it's over.
Boxing and MMA are a derivative of fighting but MMA is much closer. Boxing you cant kick, cant wrestle, cant throw basically it's 1/10th a fight while MMA is 9/10th
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?Yeah, but that applies to niche sports like Pro Bull Riders, not a sport that claims itself to be a major league sport. You can't "pickup" boxing in your mid to late 20s and be succesful.
Lol, Tyson brand is such low quality. Then again I can’t believe I liked any of that frozen shit as a kid."Boxing is for guys who can't UFC."

Boxing has some of the best strikers and a fuck ton of rules but is vilified by the MMA community.
This isn't about it being closer to a real fight. It never has been. It's some MMA fans and boxing fans being children and not wanting to be second fiddle. It just a childish argument of "no the thing I like is better than the thing you like". "My dad would beat up your dad."
So tyson is an a level athelete??Couldn't of said it better myself. Lets see a Damien Maia level athlete excel at any other sport lol
Not sure what "do well" means, but Conor got concussed by a guy who's 40 and was retired for a few years and didn't even take it that seriously. Neither him nor Nate would have a chance in hell against any top 10 boxer.To be fair no UFC fighter could do well in boxing except for maybe Conor and Nate
All fights start standing. Grapplers have an advantage on the ground. Boxers have an advantage on the feet. They are even. If they can get them down then they win. If not they lose.Wrestling, BJJ, and Judo can win a fight without throwing a strike.
Without grappling, a boxer can be the best striker the world, but never get the chance to use it.
That's why calling it closer to a real fight matters. Grapplers have, and will always have an advantage over boxers. Boxing fans cannot come to grips with that reality.
Hell, by allowing open palm satrikes Combat Jiu-JItsu is closer to a real fight than boxing
What a fucking moron. Most boxers could make more money in the UFC, than boxing, if they had the talent for grappling, and kickboxing. Most boxers aren't successful, and they rarely can make a living from it.Isn't this prize fighting? all the causal reminding us about it right? then it's all about the money right? Well then there are more money in boxing. If you can be a top boxer than you are getting more. 100% of the ufc roster would not make it through a regional boxing circuit. Easy.

The entire birth of the UFC was based on testing styles.
