You'll punch like a girl after a full boxing work-out. It is just as tiring, if not more, than grappling.
Yeah those are pretty pathetic calfs. It's a tough call but I think Wilder is the GOAT nr 1, Jones is second

Yes it is, in most cases at least. The sport involves grappling, which is just about the most taxing physical activity out there. There's a reason wrestling matches not involving an overtime period only go on for seven minutes. I'm guessing you've never wrestled before. Jiu-jitsu and clinching/judo are almost as tiring too.
Irrelevant since Jones kickboxed Cormier, and they both were open mouth breathing after 4 rounds.
I'm guessing you never boxed in a real alfa gym

Wasn't talking about that specific fight as much as the sport as a whole
I wrestled (Soviet system for the win) and even did some folkstyle. I do know how hard it is going from standing to grappling to back up agai ...
scrambling and the weight of a guy all over me: thats like a rape.
This is not about wrestling, its about MMA.
You can retire to the outside in kick. range and throw leg kicks, just to get a breather (thats what I do) and you dont have that luxury as a boxer.
A guy that knows how to work your body (boxer) was the 2. worst experience in my life.
The worst expierence in my life was a training camp with some Crique de Soleil athletes.

No, but I've boxed before. Let me guess, you're an alfa gym veteran right?

You're acting like you can't conserve your energy in boxing bouts. When you're full on grappling, you're generally using every ounce of strength. Takedowns, carrying someone's entire weight for more than two seconds, and get ups alone are unbelievably exhausting.
grappling cardio is a bit overrated.
clinching is tiring, but grappling not that much.
It obviously depends on how you box. If you rely on a lot of footwork and try to be a text book boxer, boxing is more tiring. I have wrestled non stop for 5 minutes and I got more tired from 5 minutes of boxing.

And I thought Tito Ortiz was the king of excuses but Wilder takes that throne by storm

I could give af what ESPN says. They're a pandering shit show branch of Disney.
With that being said, it's obvious we're not going to convince each other, so let's just leave this.
Who is that guy? Looks like a mix of Jones and Woodley?
