In my opinion Boxing is far better than MMA. Boxing is not just a fight, its an art and only an artist can do boxing. In boxing you have to make sure that you have dominated your opponent with your guts and your technique and the only weapon that you can use is your brain (not your heavy gloves). As compare to this MMA is more of a fight stuff than an art because you have lots of stupidities that you can perform (kicks, Punches etc.).
Boxing has just become a complete joke over the years. MMA is where its at now. I’ve seen first hand how much goes into this sport and I can guarantee you that guys like Liddel and other top MMA atheletes would beat the daylights out of most boxers these days. The combination of martial arts and boxing is what makes them so good and so exciting. In my opinion...its not even close. MMA rules.
