Quote:Yea well Dana White put about a million dollars down for any fighter from the Ultimate Fighter t.v. show to fight with any fighter from the Contender. Well it depends if you put a boxer in the octagon with the ufc rules they will get crushed imo, and the same goes for a ufc fighter being in the boxing ring. Now that i think about it you really cant even compare the ufc to boxing cause they are tottaly different.

I was referring to any professional boxer; I should have specified.
And Dana White grew up in Los Angeles and has a a background in non-professional boxing and grappling. His opinion doesn\'t count. This is the same guy who feels that the future is certain and the sky’s the limit for Mixed Martial Arts. I mean, C\'mon! White says, and I quote, that he" boxed in the amateurs before getting into submission fighting and [sic] getting hooked." He\'s quite simply just a bunch of puffy background and overblown hype. And that\'s to say nothing of his records.
Any professional boxer would kick the shit out any UFC fighter in a UFC match, a ring, a barebones, nasty-ass street fighter, etc. I\'m comparing the degree of the fighters\' abilities and physical wear-with-alll, not the nature of the sports.
UFC is just boxing on steroids--ridiculous guys, all spectacle and no balls or serious action, running around strictly on adrenaline and fear, wildy throwing impotent swings and kicks. Boxing takes a cool head and a stready hand, and heart. I\'m speaking generally, of course, but not that generally.
That\'s just ME, but I don\'t see much room for doubt in the issue.
