Answer 1

I still don't get the comparison between the 2 sports to be honest.

Martial Arts vs Boxing. ????

Answer 2

Boxers are repulsed by some sweaty half naked guy wriggling on top of them trying to achieve a move called "Full Mount".

Answer 3

the truth is most people who don't make it to boxing careers try out for MMA

it's all in the money not the love.

Would you rather sock some one up for millions of dollars in a big glove boxing match for 45 minutes or fight 3 rounds 12-15 minutes with all out type of fighting and get paid thousands.

It's all in the money man, that's america.

Answer 4

actually boxings circus show Butterbean has been fighting in MMA, and hes won quite a few fights and has headlined many shows including Pride shows.

Kimbo has very limited boxing experience and is already considered a top heavyweight in mma.

so i dont know what your talking about. Why would a boxer cross over to mma to fight for pennies anyways? Kermit Cintron, a current champion in the welterweight division said he had no problem fighting Sherk. Dana White declined his offer and Sherk was found to be a roid head. Its only a matter of time before the world starts looking at mma's steroid problem.

Answer 5

Im giving you FIVE stars for the dumbest question ever*****

Answer 6

there is no money in MMA.... and as the other guy said UFC and most other forms of MMA are filled with guys who couldnt cut it as a boxer.... to say boxing is one dimensional shows your knowledge of the sport and its not much.... When People see Highlights for UFC or MMA they look for the Knockouts and Big Punching not the grappling and fondling UFC fighters seem more comfortable with, so not sure your theory is holding up.... UFC has only three rounds and for two of the rounds the guys are "Mounted" on One Another like g*y p**n, which shows their conditioning is horrible and another reason why they cannot make it as boxers.... In boxing its about pride and whos more Skilled fighter... In UFC its about who is bigger and stronger and skill is not really needed ...... now i know you will disagree and make some case on why you are not a q***r but the question i ask all UFC guys is how Much Olympic Wrestling or Judo do You watch because take away the one dimensional Punching that boxers do and thats all UFC is....... makes you feel a little disgusted you are a wrestling fan and The Rock or Hulk Hogan is not fighting huh .....yeah its makes us boxing fans disgusted too..... and go back to QMMA and dont forget your Tights , i mean the required uniform

Answer 7

Contender Asia in Singapore you go and see you know why?!!

Answer 8

I think its time you stop bashing MMA. As someone who boxes and is interested in MMA, I feel conflicted when it comes to which side I should be on.

Well, Im going to be on no side. MMA and Boxing are two different sports SIR, not totally different, but different. And, please dont say MMA fighters couldnt go one round with boxers. They do know how proper defense you know, they do actually pratice boxing you know, and knockouts arent that easy you know.
