Why are boxers considered "shot" when MMA fighters aren't?

:good

 

thats wrong for a start, in ufc they don't have lower than 155 they do have lower weightclasses though in alot of other orgs/

 

The UFC is the biggest MMA promotion. Furthermore, the other ones have so few fighters in those classes, that theres no money in it. And almost none of those fights are televised.

 

again wrong the featherweight divion has akot of fights shown urijah faber is a pretty big name in mma.

 

The only thing I'll give the MMA guyz is that they fight far more often. That's it. Yu gotta think, UF and CL figtht like what, 10-12 times a year or so? That's a lotta scrappin' peeps.

 

The fact that mma fans claim mma's more exciting than boxing yet start booing when mma fights go to the ground perfectly illustrates just how ****ing dumb they are.

 

mma is pretty ****ing stupid if you ask me

i mean who wants to see some juiced up bisexuals roll around on the floor

 

shamrock aside, mma fighters can likely last longer b/c they take different types of beatrings in losses. boxers take shots to the head all fight (even winners some times), but that ain't the case w/ mma. constant jarring of the skull (plus concussions, bruises, etc) takes it's toll and that's why most boxers are shot at an earlier age.

 

MMA guys do not fight more often. Randy Couture has a record of 15-7.
Boxers record are much bigger. George st pierre has two fights this year.

 

Fans don't do this, in fact takedowns are usually cheered, the most booing is done when there is stalling/running standing.

 

You are such an idiot.

 

You might be an even bigger idiot.

 

there is not a fan of MMA that I know who was thinking that Shamrock was not shot

 

No, boxers are scultped to be the most efficient for boxing, as in standing only, no grappling, no groundwork, no elbows, no clinchwork, no throws, no takedowns, and no kicks. MMA fighters bodies are meant for fighting, as in fighting, not just boxing.

There is a reason wreslters look differen than boxers, and the MMA fighter will look much more like the wrestler.
