He has his history wrong. Wrestling is the oldest sport.

@Forest9924 ahahahah Just A Basic Example Of Quality Vs. Quantity lol Either Way If You Put The Best Boxer In The World Against The Best MMA Fighter The MMA Fighter Would Dominate Plain An Simple lol There Is No Argument After That lol You Can Praise Boxing All Day An Say Its The Greatest Sport In The World But When It Comes Down To It Thats Just Your Opinion Which In Reality Is Meaningless lol Its Still A Limited Contact Sport Being Compared To A Full Contact Sport So There Is No Comparison

[Forest9924]

@SyniCalMindedMusic MMA isn't weak. Opposite. I respect all fighters. I didn't call anyone flimsy. I said it was flimsy to have 10 or 15 fights and call yourself a world champion. Old school boxing it wasn't uncommon for guys to have 100-200 fights. They would do a 10 round fight on Friday to warm up for a 15 round fight on Sunday. It is partly because MMA is young but MMA fights are 3 rounds- that is the length of an amateur boxing bout. Not to say it makes it weak but just hard to compare.

@Reoagentmi Actually Wrestling is so old that is humans instinct.

@Forest9924 Holyfield Was Clearly Just Cuttin To Much Weight In To Quick Of A Time Frame lol People Get Dehydrated In Every Sport Its Up To Their Trainers An The Individual To Know When Its Not Healthy lol I Wouldnt Doubt His Trainers Overlooked His Health In order To Make The Fight Happen lol I Have No Need To Try An Make Boxing Look Weak Compared To MMA lol Its A Full Contact Sport Compared To A Limited Contact Sport lmfao Enough Said hahahah Wanna Compare tennis to hockey next? lol

[SyniCalMindedMusic]

@Forest9924 hahahahah First Of All I Never Even Said Anything Remotely Close To That lol I Believe It Was You Who Called MMA Champions "Flimsy" lmao Like You Could Last With Any Of Them lol Seems Like Your Pretty Deep On Boxings Dick Though So Theres No Use Arguing With Someone So Close Minded lol An All The Bullshit Talk About Holyfield Isnt Helping Your Arguement Just So You Know lol Every Sport Has Weight Cutting An Conditioning Programs That Are Dangerous For Its Participants

@DeathToLiberalism honestly people like you who make such a point to talk about how "gay" they think it is.. really it makes you sound like you're a homophobe or something.. the sport is obviously not even closely related to any kind of sexual activity.. sadly narrow-minded obtuse people like you still get to speak their opinion

[Forest9924]

@SyniCalMindedMusic It was kidney failure due to dehydration. This is well known and well documented. Holy went into the fight at 186 lbs and after he was 171 lbs. He spent the night in the hospital getting hydrated with IV fluid. He thought he was pissing blood because of a red tinge to his urine. But the color change was actually remnants of his body breaking down muscle as a source for energy. Life or death like a solider- no, but u were making it seem like boxing is weak next to mma.

@RYANN215215215 Rolling around with and humping other dudes in speedos is not my idea of fighting. Boxing forces you to stand toe to toe and use your instincts on your feet. Boxers don't do well in gay grappling because they don't train for that gay shit. MMA guys can't stand to toe in a boxing ring with a boxer either. Different discipline - one gay, one manly.

[RYANN215215215]

@DeathToLiberalism so,your saying that guys who break limbs,smash faces,and could kick a boxers ass any day are gay ???? yeah....ill let you think about that

[SyniCalMindedMusic]

@VCthaGOATdunker Clearly A Boxer Fan An Racist lol
