FYI, MMA fans should thank the boxing world. If it wasn't for shit like boxing, or karate and what not, you would not have MMA dummies!
I like both, hell I like profressional wrestling sometimes........do miss the ole days though of wrestling with the likes of Flair, Sting and Hogan.
I personally don't get that hate on boxing or just MMA. Both take talent and may be different, but same in certain ways. Just how you are skilled for the most part. Will say there is plenty of boxers in MMA, but not much MMA in boxing....duh, but boxing is an art and takes as much skill at perfecting it and staying competitive as MMA.
