The Destruction of Boxing What's better: Boxing or mixed martial arts? This is a topic has been gently danced around for years. or the most part, MMA types have expressed nothing but respect for boxing, as it is one of the base components of their sport and boasts a rich history. Boxing types have largely responded with disdain. Promoters have referred to MMA as "trash," boxers have disrespected MMA fighters' skills, and hack boxing writers too lazy to learn anything new have attempted to brush off the subject, since it wasn't what they grew up with in 1923.But things reached have reached a boiling point over the past week. Floyd Mayweather Jr. was quoted as saying "UFC ain't s--,. It ain't but a fad. Anyone can put a tattoo on their head and get in a street fight. We should put Liddell against a good heavyweight, under Mayweather Promotions, and if Chuck wins, then I'll give him a million dollars out of my own pocket. These are guys who couldn't make it in boxing." UFC president Dana White shot back: "He says he wants to pay Chuck Liddell a million dollars to fight with a heavyweight boxer and see if he'll last. How about this? How about we pay Floyd a million dollars to fight MMA and see how long he lasts. Or even better ... I'll give him a million dollars of my own money if he boxes anyone other than Oscar (De La Hoya) and more than 10 people buy tickets."Of course Floyd Mayweather is gonna "call out" the UFC. Boxing has become a laughingstock in American sports entertainment. He has no choice but to create animosity or controversy to get noticed. MMA and in particular, the UFC is not only surviving, but thriving. It represents what people want to pay their hard earned money to watch. That is; exciting, fast-paced, and multi-dimension.I enjoy watching both sports. UFC has its warriors just like boxing. But, Mayweather does not fall into the warrior category (in my opinion). He's a runner. The day i see Mayweather stand in the middle of the ring and battle it out with a "WORTHY" opponent, like the true boxing warriors of the past, maybe then i might listen to his loud mouth. But for now he's just blowing hot air. Mayweather! u don't impress me like a Chuck Liddell does. He stands TOE TO TOE, you don't, you dance around the ring.Honestly I think that some MMA fighters would fare much better in boxing then any boxer would in MMA. Again not all MMA fighters but some. Those guys definitely have much more heart then most boxers. Most boxers like Floyd just got big #### mouths. Props to Floyd for what he does in the ring can't take anything away from him but don't speak of something you know nothing bout.By the way why you guys hating on Dana White for the guy used to be a boxing trainer. He saw the UFC and had ideas and ways to make it better and he did. Props to him for what he did. Dude has got to stick up for what he created. former heavyweight boxing champion, former co-star of Rocky V, and former contractor of HIV Tommy Morrison. What's he doing opening his mouth? We have to go back and remember Chuck Liddell's original comment towards Morrison during his infamous interview with Good Morning Texas where Liddell was out of it after taking medicine. When asked who he would want to fight, Liddell responded with Morrison, obviously as a joke. Well it seems that Tommy boy isn't taking it that way... Similar to his boxing counterparts in the form of Kermit Cintron, Floyd Mayweather Jr, as well as HBO announcer Jim Lampley, Morrison has gone ahead and defended his sport against those who compete in MMA. He's also expressed his interest in fighting Liddell and has even said that he plans to call him out at the UFC 71 press conference, which is scheduled for tomorrow by the way. Let's break down Morrison's comments... Morrison stated that he will be making his MMA debut on June 9th in Arizona against John Stover. The fight will use modified MMA rules where neither fighter is permitted to take the fight nor continue it on the ground. He also talked about his future plans which include a victory over Stover, another boxing match under the Top Rank banner, and then a "mega PPV fight against Liddell in Japan"..."This guy's like 350 pounds, so no, I'm not going to the ground. I saw a tape of him the other day, and he's a big son of a bitch but he's awkward and slow. But I'm just doing it to help Peter McKinn out, pick up a little money, and sharpen my skills. Then, 20 days later I'll be back on a Top Rank card at the same place. This is a one time thing. I'm making money and sharpening my skills and it could possibly lead to a mega pay per view fight with Chuck Liddell in Japan down the line. I'll go over there, make about ten million bucks, slap him out in three rounds...easiest ten million dollars you can make in your life."
