It's kind of stupid to argue boxing vs MMA. They're completely different combat sports.

It's like wondering if the best MLB player could hit a ball in cricket, and vice versa. Yes, both sports involve striking a ball with something made of wood. That's where the similarities end.

The very best MMA fighter with a boxing background in the world today (Dos Santos) would lose to any top-ranked heavyweight boxer today in a boxing match. Likewise, Dos Santos would easily crush any boxer in an MMA fight. The two sports are just too dissimilar for there to be efficient cross-over.

Couture decided the bout by squeezing his left arm around Toney's neck, a choke that forced Toney to tap out, with referee Mario Yamasaki stopping the heavyweight fight.[/i]

I fondle the notion that boxing is harder with great pleasure.
Footwork, striking, head movement has to be clock work if you want to be somewhat good in boxing. You have a smaller set of actions/technique but you have to develop them to a much higher degree. Even the jump from kickboxing to boxing is a huge one.

Whether I would take him out or not is irrelevant to the referenced comments.

He is stating that boxing is much harder than MMA, but coming from a guy that had a short lived career in amateur level MMA, it is stretch to take what he says seriously. If he would have made it to the MMA pro ranks and faced guys that have been in the game for 10-20+ years, then his word would hold more weight, but he doesn't speak from experience in that sense.

There's always the fear for being taken down in MMA, something you don't have to worry about in Boxing.

Hard punches to skull/brains only vs lighter punches and kicks to the entire body, obviously boxing is more brutal.

When it comes to be a world champion and fight top competition boxing is 10 x harder than MMA ,if he's talking about training I would say MMA and boxing are the same ,if he's talking about pain ,getting hurt ,etc MMA is harder than boxing, when it comes to long term side effects boxing is more dangerous than MMA.

Typical Gob shite. you talk big on the MMA treads but are nothing. Who the fuck are you to tell me anything? You say i was "exposed" all you did was google an email. I am getting sick of your fag talk, yeah you showed the internet Bully how hard you are. So hard in a PM you said you will inform RON. You are a mouth piece here and the most here know that. So shut your arse fag boy.

Greco-Roman wrestling

I wouldn't be surprise, if a young Kurt Angle did well in MMA, given he could defend take downs and hold his own on the ground, which is something TRUE boxers like Tony with no wrestling history can't do. On other hand he'd get his block knocked off in boxing.

I thought we went over the wrestling component months ago when Swede would go over this shit daily.

I have never done BJJ but i have done Judo which is much the same. I will not say Groundwork is not important because a good strangle ends a fight too...but, most Boxers will win and fast.

I am not a "blue star" in MMA. I am not exactly sure what that means.

I am a Brown belt under Renzo Gracie and have been boxing since the age of 14 and I'm now 47.

I am NOT a professional fighter, nor do I claim to be "hard" or "tough".

I am just an avid fan of the sports and a practitioner at leisure.

Would I last in the ring with a professional MMA or boxing opponent? Probably not.

Could I spar with a professional MMA fighter in BJJ and give them a little work? Sure, I've done that before. But I will not pretend in the slightest that I could hang with a pro-level fighter in the octagon or boxing ring.

Those guys are animals plain and simple.
