why the fuck do all boxers talk shit on mma fighters. im a boxer i would never step into mma because personaly dont like it but thats just my opinion. it depends on what sport you like. comparing these two things are like comparing basket ball and soccer. their both two completely different things. and im gonna admitt boxing popularity wise is going down the drain. i box and i personally think its more fun to watch the ufc. but thats just me

[Mace2123]

it's funny how a boxer or a ufc fighter respects both combat sports while ignorant people who don't even fight love to bash on eachother and say how the other sport is better etc

@asssiann23 UFC OR MMA BETTER THAN ALL BOXE

BUT NOT COMPARE WITH HEAVYWEIGHT BOXERS

LIKE EXAMPLE MANNY OSCAR TYSON..........

@asssiann23 I've boxed and I after I watched my 1st ufc(4), I wanted to be a grappler and I was going around doing double leg take downs on everone, because they I was going to slap box them. I watched UFC up until Randy won the title from Maurice Smith. For some reason my interest waned from UFC. I also went 2 UFC 9, Motor City Madness. U can see me, every time a fighter would walk down I would flex my right arm into the camera, was wearing a black shirt and a hat backwards, 2 rs tic = $400.

@Mace2123 That's right. I boxed as a teenager and it helped me some in a street, against a guy 100lbs heavier than me, but if I would have known any submission or MMA I could've beat the fat fuck. We never hit the ground, he came running towards me I circled away from him and was easily hitting him, not hard, and then I went to through a punch and I slipped and he got a hold of me and in a head lock and I hit my nose about 25x. My nose was shattered and his dad broke it up,

im a boxer .. im in amateurs right now .. but from a athletes perspective i think fighting is fighting . just the way racing is racing ie, cycle racing , car racing . sprinting . objective is the same in every sport : basically to win! . i think people who never never fought in there life which hide behind the dads ass each time theyre in trouble are damaging both sports fan base , even if its irrelevant! my mma mates and i at times laugh and joke about it but bottom line..we are ALL FIGHGTERS

@asssiann23 Not everybody talks smack! It's two different combat sports and I respect any branch of any martial arts / combat sport. It's bullshit if they talk smack, they should appreciate all aspects of fighting, however of course everybody has a favorite one.. But directly talking smack about MMA or boxing is complete BS and anyone who's doing it, should just stfu right now

[jerven200]

Funny..In this interview Randy says that boxing is a big part of what mma fighters do but before the fight with Toney he said that Boxing was just a little part of what they do..

[aybaby1024]

after all this mess with dana white talking smack and toney and dana arguing disrespecting both sports, randy is the most mature in all of it. I like toney and toney is toney, but randy is a student of the game and take pride in his art. James is just a mean guy when you piss him off, im sure he doesnt not respect mma at all. I respect bothy guys for making the fight happen. Its good to see styles match. It would be nice to see MMA and boxing embrace one another

@asssiann23

Well MMA has boxing so it's more like comparing soccer if you kicked the ball in hoops.
