I've said it on here a long time ago. Grappling is organic and natural. Striking is not, especially boxing which concentrates even more on the head than kicking arts.

Nice to see the respect for boxing. Loads of MMA are now going into boxing gyms where as before there was some stupid sort of battle. Now you got Roach, Davis and numerous others spreading knowledge.

 

King Mo Lawal, former LHW world champion, admitted in an interview that boxing is much more difficult to success than MMA.

Q: Why you choose to start training in MMA?

A: "Because is easier than boxing."

 

Yoga is harder than boxing.
I also find tennis quite difficult.
Most Judo players have absolutely **** head movement. They lose a boxing match pretty quickly.
Powerlifters have no footwork.

yea i believe boxing is better than mma however i would rank skill and science of the three combat sports as follows.
1) Boxing
2) Kickboxing
3) MMA
Boxing is the science and art of punching, kickboxing is utilising the right combination of kicks, knees and punches to beat your opponent and MMA is determining which "tools" will enable you to win e.g. wrestling, Bjj, Muay thai, boxing, kickboxing etc

 

Does anyone else thinks Ken and Frank Shamrock look like actual brothers even though they're not blood related?

 

mustve have been one of those times that their father got caught up with different girls.

 

they're not blood related at all supposedly.

They are both adopted. But I thought they looked alike back in the day

 

it's ridiculous the comparisons between the two. people who specialize in any given field are more skilled in their area, and usually better paids.

a family practice doctor makes less than a brain surgeon.

top boxers make more than top mma fighters. coincidentally, top level sumo wrestlers make more than top mma fighters as well.

 

Boxing is harder because it is harder to be a master in one area than a jack of all trades

 

What ?!?! I always thought they were brothers?

They look so much alike ... wow

 

I can always tell when a thread comes from the General Boxing section because of the sheer stupidity of what is being said.

That being said, this thread came from GBF.
