Watching UFC as a boxing fan

And fencing isn't really sword fighting. This is a very silly point that is being argued here.

And I noticed the omission of Ray Mercer too

MMA fighters have shoddy boxing skills compared to world boxers.

World boxers have shoddy MMA skills compared to world class MMA fighters.

Neither is more difficult shoddy technique in one aspect can be reversed the other way around, its a dumb argument imo.

mattboxingfan, each time Dan Hardy throws the left hook he drops his right. This is poor boxing technique and because of that poor boxing technique he lost.

Look at when Rampage KO'd Liddell, it was because Chuck dropped his guard.

The issue with the MMA guys trying to box is that they either push or wing their their punches or they try to act like Roy Jones Jr. and fight with their guard down and I'll bet you they have no freaking clue why certain boxers fight like that and even if they did they don't have knowledge to carry out a fight like that without getting bombed out by someone who is a little more technically sound.

There are some MMA fighters that could have been decent boxers had they been trained in just boxing from the get go but if you took ANYONE in MMA I could pick a non-champion boxer that would whip their ass in a boxing ring.
