    Boxing is tougher because of human anatomy. Our bodies are developed to grab and hold things, not strike them. We do not have horns or hooves to kick and strike things, we have hands to seize and manipulate, so MMA is a more natural thing to do. Boxers wear gloves to keep their hands from being broken. Both boxing and mma do require a high degree of physical fitness and skill though. My reasoning is that doing something unnatural is harder to do.

    Ask yourself this how would Boxing's best P4P Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao fair in MMA right now if they faced either Renan Barao or Jose Aldo, guys who are around there respective sizes? My guess is not too well. They'd be Kicked, Elbowed, Kneed, Taken down and beaten to a pulp or submitted. I think the answer is clearly in terms of toughness: MMA all the way.

    Boxing is beautiful though kind of like the taekwondo of hands or fencing, but no where near as tough as mixed martial arts. Both Boxing and MMA take a certain breed of athlete to even compete in those disciplines and it really just comes down to natural abilities as to which sport an athlete gravitates to.

    Short answer is both are tough and personal bias will always sway this argument one way or the other.

    Not sure that means anything.

    How many more boxing matches happen each year? Probably a lot more.

    It's called competition and those wrestlers have respect. Listen I don't bash Boxing so atleast don't troll and bash Wrestling or MMA.

    Yeah, and that rolling around **** is f***ing BORING. Sometimes when these MMA fighters stand up and actually engage in some action, trading punches, it can be entertaining.

    But that rolling around on the frikkin' floor crap? Damn, that's just DULL. :tired

    That means you know nothing about the sport of Wrestling and MMA. It's called competing and trying to outclass your opponent. Also do you think you could do their job better?

    I just hate when non athletes tell people how to do their job.

    Wrestling is even worse, since you have men roll around grabbing each other's balls in tight spandex suits and earmuffs. Now, that is just a pretense for closeted homo***uals to seek contact with like minded men:pukke

    Russian sambo seems to have more dignity to it since people actually wear some kind of clothing. Still, its boring as ****

    A short anecdote; A picture of a wrestler/MMA fighter named Cole Conrad popped up on the ESPN website a couple years ago, and it made me throw up my breakfast oats :mad:

    PS

    Zakman could be George Foreman for all you know BRO:hey
