    Being a fan of both sports I'll say this, Frank Shamrock is a ****** when he speaks.

    That being said his opinion on boxing is correct lol

    Without a doubt Boxing takes more skill ..You can be a halfway decent MMA fighter and have success ..I mean look at Chcuk Liddell ..Anyone think he could ever box ? No but there are a ton of Chuck Liddell' in MMA

    Not only do boxers have to be skilled, they have to be sharp and in top shape to be able to compete and stay at the top level. MMA guys can get away with a lack of fitness, as we've seen prominent champs Fedor and Chuck Liddell fight in their primes with a soft belly. We saw a great example of what a top MMA fighter who's body is tuned like a boxer's was able to do to a top MMA fighter who showed up a bit flabby when Jon Bones Jones destroyed Shogun.

    boxing is the perfection of 1 skill set

    mma is trying to be well rounded at several skill sets


    also, boxing is not mma

    mma is not boxing

    golf is not ice hockey

    baseball is not cricket
