Will never have the class of boxing and that is why it will die out long before boxing does (just wait, if it hasn't plateau already it will soon... the trash 'I'M GONNA KICK YOUR a*** BOY WWE' element of all the big fights will not extend into as many homes as boxing)

Don't get me wrong, there are a few good fighters and athletes in it, but as a combat sport (forget rules and techniques for a second) I have yet to see any one who's athletisicm or courage exceeds an active boxer of today. The culture surrounding it just won't bring those type of guys in

Will never have the class of boxing? Yes, between James Toney threatening to "send f@ggots back to Africa," Zab Judah starting a 15 man brawl in the middle of a fight, and Ricardo Mayorga happily behaving like a caged animal whenever someone sticks a mic in front of his face, I agree, it will be hard for the UFC to match the high standards of class set by boxing.
Those are three of my favorite boxers on the planet! YOU Shut your filthy mouth! Mayorga rocks! Toney rocks! And Judah will be back kicking ass again very soon!
