Bobby Green says boxers are 'insecure' around MMA fighters

I an not arguing against the merits of an MMA fighter and when it comes to "real fighting".
I am pointing out how silly it is to proclaim that MMA is the superior sport because it´s closer to "real fighting". And? MMA is a sport, so is boxing.
Why would anyone honestly care that one could beat the other is a "real fight"?

 

I am not that bothered about it personally but I could see why plenty of people would see additional merit to MMA because of that. It essentially means MMA is where the "best" unarmed combatants in the world are. Therefore their champs are the real baddest men on the planet.

Btw for the record this isnt me saying boxers are inherently inferior or whatever. In fact on the whole boxers are more talented than MMA fighters tbh, but they fight under a relatively restricted ruleset so dont train for all that extra stuff those MMA guys (or kickboxers and Muay Thai guys) bring. It doesnt take more talent and it isnt more difficult to be 5 out of 10 everywhere than 10 out of 10 in one area, but it will win you fights.

MMA is a more complete form of fighting. Boxing only use hands...

 

Boxing is a sport, so who cares?

 

Boxing>MMA.

 

People, I am Team Boxing too, but what I am supposed to do here ? Say that when you add elbows, knees, kicks and grappling, that does not make it a more amplified form of fighting ??

 

Cannot trust MMA fighters they are too trained in other methods. Example: "In recent boxing match MMA fighter Idris Abdurashitov unloaded a vicious kick to the face of his opponent, 1-3 boxer Bagher Faraji, at the end of a wild exchange of punches. As you would expect, Faraji never saw the kick coming. Once it landed flush, he was out cold, hunched over and crashed to the canvas. Abdurashitov was disqualified."

 

It does. But in the end it´s just a sport. Heck, so is MMA. Both are just sports and claiming that one is superior because it´s closer to "real fighting" is just silly. It´s a pointless comparison.

 

Love both, but that is HIGHLY debateable.

 

It is just a sport, that´s how I look at it as well.... problem is, a lot of boxers don´t like to be seen that way, and they want to bragging rights when compared with other sports.

 

Just Love yourself & Nice people.
