This is the oldest argument and its completely unwarranted. Boxing and MMA are two different sports that can coexist without fear or resentment of one another. We as fight fans should be able to enjoy them both without having to put them in competition with one another.

Boxing is not a threat to MMA and MMA is not a threat to boxing. They have both helped each other in numorous ways, and both compliment each other. Both sports will continue to be successful, and I'm happy about that because I am a fight fan.

Lets stick a fork in this thread, shall we?

I tottally agree with if you were to take any champion in boxing and match him up against a champion mma fighter of the same weight class he would destroy him probably knock the mma fighter out in the 1st round.

DNGRTOMISLF: What you said about the gloves was stupid they only have such a small amount of padding so they can grapple and pretty much all od the padding is located on the knuckles which pretty much makes it like having an 8 ounce boxing glove becasue in boxing gloves the padding is more ditrubutid and only about half of it is located on the knuckles.

Also boxers can punch much harder than mma fighters they are more skilled in the art of punching seeing in all thats the only thing they can do
