Are we boxing fans supposed to take this shit seriously?

I dunno, guy comes back after 4 years away to go up in weight and beats champ . Do they even have catch weights in mma?

Bisping wasn’t really champ, he’s had the belt like 2 years without fighting anyone under 65 years old or ranked.

Darren Till vs GSP vs Conor McGregor....I think Till being the youngster has to play the waiting game but IMO he mops the floor with both of them.

GSP has serious roid tummy.

Dan Henderson destroyed mike twice but was robbed on last decision.

Doubt it whether GSP stays at middleweight.

Roids don't give you big guts that's HGH.



Arnold was roided up for Pumping Iron, 1980's WWF Wrasslers were roided out of their minds but no big bloated bellies until people started using HGH

A thread started to encourage "boxing" fans to bash the UFC creates friendly discussion between a bunch of UFC fans... the irony.

Why is it not on the ghost town MMA board though? :-)

I didn't USE to enjoy MMA, but because of boxing not being willing to address the RAMPANT corruption inherent in the sport AND the refusal of fighters to make the big fights happen boxing will continue to bleed out fans.


The UFC is a growing brand, boxing is withering on the vine right now because big fights aren't happening and MMA fans (which I certainly don't consider myself a true diehard of the sport) could even claim Floyd Mayweather Jr got his biggest payday and one of his tougher fights from an MMA fighter. That is NOT GOOD for boxing.

What a stupid thing to say. "Withering on the vine"?

What you mean is that there are no American superstars involved in big fights.


GGG - Canelo ..pretty big fight

Rigo -Loma...wtf is not to like about that one?

Joshua and Wilder heading towards a HW mahoosive fight

Hell even Wlad v AJ was the most fan friendly HW fight in years. Casuals and boxing fans alike would have loved that.

Maybe you should go an watch your Wrasslin

You can admit you like the UFC, even more so than boxing, without trying to justify why. Contrary to what you believe boxing isn't going anywhere, it still does terrific numbers, there's still more than enough gyms and fighters from all over the States and still new "stars" emerging year in year out. And if you take it's global appeal into account it's never been healthier.

You never was a fan that embraced boxing outside the confines of the States. You never had any interest outside the glamour divisions (heavyweight/middleweight), right? It's hardly surprising now that America no longer dominates boxing, that champions from other countries are so readily available that they no longer have the burden of satisfying Americans, that your interest waned.

I remember back in the day when you used to spend pages upon pages passionately screaming about the cheating London crowd carrying Benn back into the ring against GMan and 60 second counts and Calzaghe was a useless padded record scared to come to America bum that Lacy will kill and what not... then when the evidence was revealed you admitted to having never seen these fights/fighters ()

(not having a dig, just reminiscing about the past, it's all good)
