Greg Hardy just beat a legit boxing prospect

[Clover87]

On short notice. Does this prove boxing is overrated? Artem and Anderson both beat former world champs in boxing. Conor stole rounds off Floyd and almost KO’d him with an uppercut and body shot. Jake Paul is the face of boxing right now and is destroying elite sparring partners.


Wilder who throws looping sloppy punches and lacks technique is also considered a world class boxer. This just shows UFC > Boxing

No, but there ARE an incredible amount of bums in boxing. For every elite guy who really takes the sport seriously and is trying to "make it" as a champ, there's 50 guys who just show up to take some level of a beating and train very little if at all. Some of these people looked border line indigent.

I used to go to local fights in Atlanta all the time and it was some sad stuff up until the main events, mostly one sided showcase fights or worse.

I can remember a card where out of maybe 8 fights the towel was thrown in during the first round in I think 4 of the fights?

Promoter had to get on the mic to prevent a riot.

A guy with a name, even as minor as Rahman with our much ability can easily be pushed though a few bums to create the appearance of credibility in hopes of getting a money fight.

Also, absurd size matchup, Hardy looked like crap.

It does. Boxing is not true combat sport

Even these MMA washs outs could not have this success in muay thai or kickboxing

I think this proves that A level athletes are real, Alex Pereira beat Izzy with a few years of training and Jake Paul is another example of this, Brock Lesnar etc

Hahaha ok... A level athlete is a laughable categorization of certain individuals that are athletically gifted. Some are simply better than others at picking up striking, wrestling etc. Doesn't mean that a random guy in NFL can do anything in boxing or MMA, but it is for sure true that some individuals are gifted. Pereira is gifted seeing as he's now the UFC MW champ, but it's not like he's a rookie. Jake Paul for sure is gifted no matter what haters may say. Brock is a great athlete, but also proof that no matter how athletically gifted you are, if you can't take a punch then boxing/MMA may not be for you.
