So for all their bluster and bravado, MMA really isn't F****** with boxing. Boxing had a HUGE year and most important, there are several highly rated undefeated fighters (Cotto, Williams, Khan, Valero, Dawson, Guzman, Povetkin, Berto, Linares) that are ready to burst into stardom along with a bunch of undefeated prospects (Linares, Juan Manuel Lopez, Devon Alexander, etc...) That's exactly why I think MMA will always be second to boxing. They never have the type of undefeated prodigies that boxing produces. Undefeated fighters create an air of invincibility. MMA will never have undefeated fighters because their fighters are jack of all trades and no one is truly elite at one thing except maybe Silva and Liddell with stand up.
I would add Katsidis.
