    Virtually every MMA fighter I've ever seen has ZERO idea how to punch effectively. They arm punch and get no leverage on their shots. This includes even the so-called "champions."

    It's why I don't like MMA.

    You could take your average trained club fighter boxer and they punch harder than the top level MMA guys. Boxers are trained to punch through muscle memory and using technique to maximize impact.

    MMA guys are trained to take you down and grapple, not punch.

    Remember folks, just cuz you saw it on a TV show doesn't make it true.

    Yeah, but I bet he's never knocked one of those nailed down coconuts off, or got three darts on a over-sized playing card that's attached to a concrete block.

    They look like their arm punching because they cannot commit to a shot for fear of kicks or being grappled. Simply put, they dont punch likes boxers in an MMA ring because they choose not to, not because they cant. Guys like crocop are K1(kickboxing) champion, im pretty sure they have the mechanics of a punch down. This is the same guy who broke bob sapp's face.

    A good Boxer will beat down any MMA fighter in the boxing ring.
    And an MMA fighter will beat down a boxer in a street fight:vonnecunt

    i remember watching a programme here in the uk about chris eubank and his life how he got in to boxing etc.. and he said he had his punch power measured and he said he punched at the equivalent of just under 2 tonnes of force dont know how true or how they measured it but unreal.

    I am pissed that they feel the need to correlate it to boxing... as to try to upstage us or whatever... but the thing is this


    Boxers train to punch their entire lives... thats what they do, punch and get punched... i dont see why mma fighters not punching as hard as a boxer should get much attention... i mean... thats what boxers do, thats what their whole arm is trained and built for.

    LOL! riiiiiight... thats why Don Frye got his ass handed to him by some ex boxing pro and coach right?

    you mma boys are so funny...

    Chuck Liddel gets his ass knocked the **** out trying to fight a boxer on the street....

    it completely depends on what fighter is fighting what fighter... each fighter has differant strengths and weaknesses that will play to the others

    you people all try to oversimplify it.

    I consider Hatton a one punch KO type of fighter. Just look at the Castillo fight.
    I'd say a Heaveyweight Boxer punches a lot harder than any MMA fighter, just look at Foreman, Tyson, Bruno, Liston and Lewis or Haye and Enzo, and those 2 are not even HW's. I'd love to see a MMA fighter try and handle one of those punches.
