    hands down

    boxing is the best form a fighting to watch....one man vs another using nothing but fists to strip health away from his opponent.....leave all the grappling and submissions for the bedroom

    I used to have this argument with my dad. He said boxing ruled and no one could beat a boxer. I told him karate was obviously tougher, because they could use their legs which were much stronger. When Gracie was younger he used grappling to kick boxers and karate experts asses. Therefore we were both wrong. If you like to watch boxing, that is fine. But boxers definately are not the best fighters of them all as we now can watch real fighting using any style desired and boxers never win. I like to watch them too, but with boxing the little guys seem to have no power and the big dudes get tired too quickly. Also, if you have ever seen or been in a real fight, they almost always end on the ground and if you cant grapple, your in big trouble. Other than a boxing match have you ever seen a fight last for more than one minute that did not end up on the ground? Even if you dont like it, you better be pretty damn good at it if you want to fight decently.

    Stand up is usually how a fight starts but in my opinion i would much rather be a well rounded fighter and be able to defend myself on the ground than just be able to box because just as oki-des said a fight usually always ends up on the ground at some point.

    Boxing is not fighting, it is Boxing!

    MMA = Fighting as it uses a multitude of strikes, submissions, wrestling


    I also highly suggest you rethink your attitude when you post in here, this is not a place to start a flame war, so far you show you have nothing to add to the board so either shape up or **** off.

    Not true, there are several MMA guy's that have been boxers not to mention Rogerio won a boxing championship not to long agao. I also know what you mean though, i would say as a whole i agree with you but there are a select few that would do good in their striking style fights.

    fighting
    A noun
    1 fight, fighting, combat, scrap

    the act of fighting; any contest or struggle; "a fight broke out at the hockey game"; "there was fighting in the streets"; "the unhappy couple got into a terrible scrap
    Boxing is fighting as it is a contest and struggle....just being a smart ass bro!

    Yeah that was impressive I must say. Rogerio as ninja was saying won the brazilian nationals and he could very well go to the olympics for his country.

    Both Vitor Belfort and Nick Diaz also come to mind as good boxers.
