    Actually it was pretty competitive, hardly a destruction. But Sergei had a good amateur pedigree, he was a boxer who transitioned to MMA.

    This was also the more plodding and headhunting Kharitionov, who was already well past his best. Prime he had much better movement, reflexes, jab, IQ, punching variety - was 20-30 lbs lighter. He held his own against a much younger hotshot, but you overlook that for reasons of agenda.

    He's not a boxing fan he's just a fan of white athletes and uses boxing to further his racial superiority agenda. I'm glad more are starting to see this.

    I suppose casual idiots might fall for this, but if it's a boxing match no contest. MMA striking is nowhere near where it needs to be to compete with anybody higher than bum level boxers.

    Except it's spot on, regardless of his agenda... Miocic would take Joshua down and pound his head into the canvas with ease, but on the flip side Joshua would annihilate him in a boxing match. I don't see what's wrong with thinking that.

    Check his post history and get back to me. He loves to see the boxers get their asses kicked in a mma fight but you never see him calling for the mma fighter to get in the boxing ring. He wants both pbf and Joshua to get in mma ring. But won't call for conor and the guy who beat dos Santos to get in a boxing ring.

    He enjoyed the demise of James Toney in the Dana White's human cockfighting cage and cheered for that pathetic chinny C-level athlete Couture.

    Fair enough.. But the statement itself isn't ridiculous, as long as you agree that both dominate the other in their respective sports we've got no problem here.

    Because MMA morons pointing that out only do it to insult boxing. Ok, so Miočić would beat Joshua at something Joshua doesn't even train at? At least those MMA bums train boxing while boxers don't train grappling.

    How about this, let's take any heavyweight bum from UFC and have him challenge Joshua in a series of athletic challenges? That way we could see who the better athlete is.

    Look at this, A-level athlete Joshua sprinting 100m in 11.53 seconds:

    In contrast, kickboxing/MMA bum C-level athlete Rico Verhoeven completing the same distance in 13.63 seconds:

    More than 2 second difference between them, that's like an eternity when it comes to sprinting. This is a bigger difference that the difference between a man sprinter and a woman sprinter LOL.

    This shows you that athletes in boxing are LEVELS above athletes in MMA.

    This is the proof that boxing has marquee A-level athletes and MMA only gets rejects from other sports.

    Yeah, they're two separate worlds. If you have a master striker like Miocic for example facing Anthony Joshua in the cage, how long do you think it would take before miocic tries to take it to the ground? It would probably be immediately, right? Lol...

    In boxing Miocic would have to be forced to try but would get rolled up and smoked up easily. Boxing and MMA should never be debated together, as far as who would win a fight in their sports..

    It seems to me that MMA and the training associated with it just destroys your body. Just an observation, maybe not even a correct one.

    It's embarrassing enough for UFC that an elite boxer would at least have like 1-5% chance to beat some elite MMA fighter in MMA, while the opposite scenario (MMA fighter beating an elite boxer in boxing) is 0%.

    This is proof of your nitpicking.... You lost me when you slandered Verhoeven by calling him C-level, excellent kickboxer(not an MMA fighter so **** poor comparison on your part) and a good athlete. But even so, there are many examples of great athletes in the UFC/MMA and this will increase with time.

    Boxing has been around for much longer than MMA, and as such has a much bigger talent pool, and a richer history. But MMA is rapidly growing, top athletes have started to join it's ranks at an increasing rate.

    Seems like you and the other groupies here are still stuck in a Boxing vs. MMA mindset, why not enjoy both sports? Or at the very least avoid getting into pissing contests like this.

    Also... There are and have been top boxers, legends and greats who weren't spectacular athletes.
