MMA has already started regressing.
You obviously don't train and watch mma my friend! Maybe your parents will let you stay up for the next pay per view!

wtf does your first sentence have to do with anything I said you moron.MMA has evolved since 93 and boxing has regressed dumbass!
Cintron would not fight sherk because his promoter wouldn't allow it. Think of Mayorga vs Din Thomas. Cintron says that to get in the papers.
I rather watch something that resembles a real fight than watching 2 boxers with 10 ounce gloves run all night and not one guy gets rocked in 36 minutes.
Remember Corrie Sanders he gassed out pretty quickly yet knocked out the best heavyweight wladimir. He looked sloppy yet effective.
Yeah exactly guys like Shogun had their best weapons taken away while wrestlers get dry hump their way to decisions, some great "fighting" there...lol. MMA used to be real fighting back when Pride was around and soccer kicks/ foot stomps ran rampant.
Now, its just a glorified LnP bouts catering to wrestlers.
Oh, and when "not one guy gets rocked in 36 minutes" that means that the guys have a good chin. You know, the thing that UFC fighters don't have. cue Mercer/sylvia knockout.
Yeah good thing it was because I would be embarassed if someone gassed out after 5 mins in the biggest HW fight in Boxing history.
Will update this thread after the Couture vs Toney fight. Toney has never been rocked in boxing. Would probably go 12 rounds against klitchko. I am sure at the very least Toney is going to survive the fight even if he loses since no one can hurt him and MMA is bullshit!
Toney is so good that he can be out of shape and give boxers a hard time lets see how hard of a time he will give an old man who is on his last legs in MMA. You boxing fans better hope and pray that Toney doesn't get knocked out because if he does than its time for all of you to STFU!
What about Shane Mosley gassing in 2 rounds against Mayweather?

Mosley still kept at it and went 12 rounds.What about Shane Mosley gassing in 2 rounds against Mayweather?
lol idk what these idiots are trying to prove with this freakshow matchup.that fight is ending by stoppage once randy gets him down james will be like a turtle on its back and the ref stops it

Mosley gassed? Looked to me like his punch output decreased because he was getting tagged so often that he became too scared to even pull the trigger.
I remember him hitting Money hard in the second round then doing nothing in the rest of the fight even before Mayweather started to whoop his ass.

Let me guess, you either just watched a highlight video of the fight or took some 'tard in the heavies word for it. Mayweather immediately took control of the fight at the beginning of the third and onward, walking down Mosley, pot shotting, and snapping Shane's head back so often that he couldn't even get off first or counter off the back end of a punch.
Carwin gassed badly, he looked like he just ran a marathon after the first round, Mosley looked like he'd been figured out and beaten to the punch.
lol.
Another butt-hurt MMA fan comes to add his two cents into this forum.
I definitely like how you deliberately left of Mercer/Sylvia from your list.
Regardless, here are my thoughts:
If you want to see effective boxing defense being used in an MMA fight, refer to yesterday's fight between George Sotiropolous vs Kurt Pellegrino. George managed to rock Kurt using simple boxing combos set up by his basic jab. Although his boxing wasn't perfect, George definitely impressed me with whatever much boxing offense and defense that he showed.
For the record, this thread was NEVER about whether boxing > MMA.
It was about how two supposed ELITE HWs looked like COMPLETE TRASH due to their:
- Horrid Striking Defense
- Horrendous Cardio (how in the hell does someone gass themselves out by throwing punches downwards for 2 minutes? How, god damn it?)
For the record, those fights that you listed show that Boxers lack well-roundedness.
They do not prove that boxing is ineffective in the cage.
We all know what happened when a devastating striker learned takedown defense (Prime Cro Cop).
He fucked everyone up.
That being said, Brock and Shane should be thankful that the elite HWs in the world are busy making millions in boxing and not fighting in the UFC for 40k salaries.
It was an ugly, embarrassing fight, like watching two gorillas fight over the last banana. At least it was entertaining.
