It’s all the same from men battling with their bare knuckles to using Formula 1 cars funded through millions of dollars of ingenuity and resources. Shame the world hasn’t evolved and would rather watch this new form of pugilism than rise up the food chain and evolve.

Are you kidding me calling Ricardo Mayorga a famous elite boxer that guy purely sucked he was an overrated boxer who couldn’t beat his top competition. As for Butterbean that guy is an excuse for boxing he was the Brock Lesner of boxing during this career, it was a joke his size difference from his oppenent was tremoundous. I’m a huge UFC fight fan and after seeing 104 I have some doubts whether UFC is really trully dominating boxing because I seriosly don’t see it.

First of all patna it’s got nothing to do with black or white. I’m black & I grew up watching Boxing. Yet I watch UFC all the time & so do all my homies. Go into a sports bar on the night of a UFC fight. You’ll see all races of people watching & competing. Not to mention that the Pound for Pound best fighter in the world is black. Anderson Silva. Notice how I said best fighter not boxer. It’s too different things. The ignorance of the things you just said shames us all. You can’t even compare the two sports. Just because you cant or dont want to take the time to study up on MMA & learn just how entertaining it can be doesn’t mean you should bash it & try to bring some lame comments about race into it. No that’s dopey dumb dumb talk. Bottom line is they are to different sports & right now MMA just happens to be much newer & appealing to many more people. Now I’m not saying this guy who wrote this piece knows much either because obviously he hasn’t done his homework on either of the two. They are both great sports & there’s no reason they both cant thrive. I enjoy watching them both & will continue to do so.

A couple more corrections:

UFC represents MMA. Just like there is one Boxing organization that represents boxing because it is more well known like the WBC or promotions like Goldenboy.

There are still other organizations on the rise like strikeforce which just signed a broadcast TV deal.
So MMA is becoming popular, not just the UFC

And MMA fighters DO duck each other too (unfortunately). the top 3 contenders in the Welterweight division are ducking each other because they are all from the same camp (American Top Team). But they are gonna HAVE TO fight each other to get a title shot.

Is it MMA that’s really more popular or is it just UFC? You know I love boxing and prefer it more than boxing. You know what I like about the UFC though is it’s one organization. Fighters can’t duck other fighters. In boxing, that shit happens. Floyd Mayweather and SANE MOSELEY!!! I dunno who’s ducking who but it’s a fight everyone has always wanted holy crap. A Bernard Hopkins Roy Jones rematch. Come on that’s another one we always wanted. Pacquiao Marquez III? Why doesn’t Bhop fight Thomasz Adamk? I mean those are just examples. I know for a fact everyone is dodging Paul Williams. In the UFC if you’re the “champ” or the “best” you’re going to fight the one next in line who wants to be the “champ” or the “best” There’s no excuses.

Ray Mercer knocked out the WORST Tim Sylvia i had ever seen. I think he weighed in like 60 lbs more than he ever weighed in the UFC. I am glad he got knocked out. Thats why he was cut from the UFC, he is more washed up than Mercer.

And the has-beens you are talking about were former boxing champions. They had skill in the sport.

and Boxing do fighters make more money, but i Dont think i ever argued that MMA paid more.

And the only reason we might never see an MMA guy beat a boxing champ is because the boxer would not agree to it.

The closest they got to any fighter agreeing to anything like that was when Mayweather agreed to fight Anderson Silva, but even then it was only to a Boxing Match.

also in a fight the result isnt as clear-cut as it seems you think as washed up boxer ray mercer recently KO’d a former UFC Heavyweight champion in tim sylvia. This is probably the exception rather than the rule but you would NEVER see any mma guy beat the undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion
again, terrible article.
Boxing isnt going anywhere anytime soon and neither is mma
