Quote:hey jseth, don\'t use this \'fucking kids\' shit, dude come on. boxing and martial arts are two different things. obviously you like boxing more, but to say ufc is pretty much a sloppy, retarded sport?? don\'t get me wrong, i loved boxing before ufc was formed, but give me a break. you\'ve got people like tyson who aren\'t even really boxers.. just brawlers. maybe you\'re thinking of toughman or something because ufc is the real deal. no boxer can defend against a well rounded uc fighter... its impossible, take the boxer off his feet, thats it. my stepfather is a retired boxing coach of 20 or more years and even he agrees that a boxer has no match against a mma fighter. its common sense man, come on... boxing may be an \'american tradition\', but ufc stuff is what works on the streets, way more tough in my book. anyway, i think some of you need to tone it down, its two different sports that are never going to join for crying out loud.

I think it\'s fair to say that everyone is being too presumptuous. If we\'re ever going to compromise, then it would have to be on the grounds that neither side would win, "hands down." It would depend on the individuals fighting.
Also, Tyson is just a killing machine, plain and simple. But, like many boxers, he is a brawler too. And that goes a long way in developing a fighter.
And boxing is as mental, if not more so, as UFC/Martial Arts. Just so we\'re clear on that.
