'Incidentally in today's market £3.5m buys you a Vince Grella, two-thirds of a Fabrice Muamba, three-quarters of a Bobby Zamora, a Scott Carson, 20% of Jo, Didier Digard, Marvin Emnes, just over half a Xisco, half a Younes Kaboul, two-thirds of Dave Kitson, Luke Moore, or Lee Cattermole.In that kind of market how can anybody complain about signing England's centre-forward for a similar price?'SNM

But who is saying that?I think the consensus is that Boxers would win in a boxing contestMMA fighters would win an MMA contestThread is becoming repetitive'Manny Pacquiao' came across in some of his posts as though he thought thatthe consensus are correctand yes I agree, very repetitive.

following on from the previous post, i'm not discrediting boxing, i'm a big fan as welland i'm certainly not saying MMA's striking is better than boxing'sbut if anyone thinks a boxer would beat an MMA fighter in an MMA fight then they are wrong due to the bigger skill set MMA fighters haveI mean Ray Mercer (past his prime but still a former world champion) lost to Kimbo Slice in an MMA fight due to a choke, Kimbo Slice recently got tooled by a proper MMA fighter (who wasn't good enough for the UFC) in 14 seconds.people who know and/or fans of both sports (such as David Haye) will tell you that in a boxing match, boxers win every time, but in an MMA fight, MMA fighters will win virtually every time.

wow.. how can someone miss the point so badly..If I was going to show you the best examples of striking in MMA then I wouldn't give you a gif of a fight from the none televised undercard..If you read my post again I was comparing the differences between striking in MMA and boxing, and how because they are completely different sports, not even the striking is the same.the gif was posted not to say 'wow what a great strike from the MMA guy', but look at how the defence has to be different between the two sports.If the guy was wearing boxing gloves then the punch wouldn't have got through the guard, but because of the smaller gloves it is easier to get hit so your defence has to be much tighter.to the guy asking why he didn't get out the way, this wasn't an out of the blue punch, the guy was rocked and was nearly finished before the uppercut.

tbf hes right that an MMA fighter would beat a boxer in a fight8 times out of 10 just like David Haye said..its easy to say a boxer would keep it standing and out strike the MMA fighterbut how would a boxer who has been cornered into the cage stop a takedown from an olympic calibre werestler who's trained to do that all his life?and how would they react when they are getting the sh*t pounded out of them on the floor where they are like a duck out of water?standing alone, boxers are far ahead of MMA fighters, it goes without sayingfor a few reasons, one being that boxers only train in boxingwhere as an MMA fighter trains to attack and defend take downs/box and kickbox/and be able to defend thereselves on the ground as well as submit opponents.the beauty of MMA is that any fighter can beat anyone, because of the sheer amount of ways you can be beaten, and the various amount of different talents the fighters have, where as in boxing it is purely who has the best stand up.you can't even compare MMA and Boxing striking anyway, boxers have a completely different stance where as MMA fighters have to box a lot more square on in order to defend themselves from takedowns. If a boxer was to try and fight an MMA fight in his usual boxing stance, his leading leg would get caught every time by the wrestler or jiu jitsu expert depending on who he was facing.the thing is, you can't even defend the same in boxing and MMA. In boxing the boxer can protect his face by having his forearms protecting his face, which obviously works well in boxing, but in MMA the gloves are a lot smaller, this means the fighter is able to punch straight through the guard a boxer would have, (see the uppercut by Jeremy Stephens in a recent fight).all in all, as someone said above, its like comparing football and rugby, but to snub the elite MMA fighters as less talented is wrong. the elite level fighters about have won/competed in major tournaments throughout the world in jiu jitsu, and some have/could have competed in the olympics in wrestling, and of course there is many other disciplines fighters have excelled in but the two above are the most popular.the UFC are currently in talks to sign a japanese guy who won the gold medal in judo at the 2008 olympics, which shows the sport is getting more and more popular.the sport is still growing and growing, and growing very quickly, but people have to forget the boxing vs MMA thing IMO, as they are just both different sports.sorry for the long post the uppercut i mentioned..
