http://www.sherdog.net/forums/showthread.php?t=678860 Check out this thread I started... Although a few people agreed on some of the things I said, the majority of the emo dorks over there went into conniptions from this
some of your points are good, some are weak, boxing is definitively more cerebral than mma, no argument there, I often compare mma to beer and boxing to wine, one is harder to appreciate but more subtle.
Oh ya I am well aware that some of my points were weak... especially the ones about boxers being paid well and all the big fights being made.. most of the simples at Sherdog don't realize this isn't true and respond by "mma is a young sport etc.. etc.." I meant most of what I said.. but it was mostly just for fun. I thought of another great pro-boxing thread I could start there too...
LOL at you trolling :: Putting that in the MMA section like that.IMO it makes you know better than the SOME of the Sherdoggers there:dunno:
I read the thread the day it was posted, and just figured it was some dumbass who knows nothing about MMA looking for attention. I guess I was right. I never bothered to read past the first page of replies, so if anything other then retarted MMA vs Boxing nonsense is there, I'd be amazed. That being said, the overwhelming majority of Sherdog posters are jackasses who are consumed by the need to bitch, cry, whine, moan and complain about everything non Pride related. I wish I knew of a decent MMA board to post on. TFK
Sherdog is basically a bunch of anime fans who are in shock and denial that their gods of Pride are getting shit stomped all over by UFC fighters.
I just started another thread in the boxing section at sherdog, that examines the "streetfight" argument that MMA supporters use to declare that MMA is the superior fighting sport. I believe I've layed out an excellent argument.
MMA fans really don't follow boxing. Its hard to take an MMA fans opinion seriously. The only fight they have seen in 5 years is De la Hoya-Mayweather. They say boxing is corrupt because of Don king and they think that a MMA fighter destroys a boxer in a street fight. I don't even have to read there replys to your thread D-Man because i already know that they wrote.
I give Roy's post a 2.5 out of 10 on the Troll-O-Meter. D-Man's gets a 6, as at least there was thought behind it. TFK
