UFC "best boxer" hilarity

[cmw43]

Not UFC but Sergei Kharitonov had some of the best hands seen in mma.

He's old, heavy and slow now but he's still catching guys.

That same “youtuber” that’s been embarrassing mma fighters left and right with a couple years experience and making sad insecure mma fans cry themselves to sleep LOL

Doesn't bother me one bit. Paul is a decent boxer and is very young (23) and is big. He is doing great at selling fights off of his celebrity, same way he got to be a celebrity via Youtube. When he picks a 20 something his size rather than a retired MMA guy with wrestling background or a striker that isn't 47 then let me know.

I would love to see what he could do against Vitor who would at least be a threat.

The hoard of UFC fighters Tweeting stupid things during that fight and tagging UFC, Dana, Ronda, etc

Fair assumption I suppose. There are some cross over fans that you would want to get exposure to and that was a huge fight.

Lol I think Vitor would fuck him up tbh

I love how whenever a fighter has a decent show with their hands the collective MMA fan base is immediate to include them as elite boxers. This was true for Yan (who has looked sloppy as hell routinely), kattar (because, frankly, I have no idea why), Diaz brothers (apparently being punching bags and having reach advantages on opponents = elite boxing, despite clear and obvious shit technique, power, defense, etc).

The fan base has an obsession with boxing, and always wants to laude the latest hand strike performance as a boxing master class despite the performances usually being shit boxing

Let's be honest most UFC fans aren't fans of mma but rather they are fans of exciting slugfests. Most if the Fandom would be happy is the UFC turned into boxing in 4oz gloves.
