its just the knee jerk reaction of the willfully ignorant
That and thinly veiled blind hate against bjj/mma.
All you have to do is look back at the old Couture and Toney threads and people here talking about how it was a lock for Toney to see that this forum is beyond delusional. Some of the posters here will grasp for any kind of straws humanly possible as a roundabout way of making a point that boxing > mma/wrestling/bjj/whatever, when there are no straws to grasp for they will simply make them up.
This, of course, is not to say that the UFC forum is much better (look for the old threads when JDS was champion and someone called him a "boxer" - the replies to that statement are as Zuffa brainwashed as it gets).
Me personally, I moved on from the "UFC vs Boxing" bs in 2004. Don't know why it's been so hard for so many people.
Besides joking around and a few trolls its pretty widely accepted that both are two different sports and without sufficient long term trainung crossing over is futile.
If the people I'm referring to in this forum are trolling/joking then they have me fooled, many of them sound pretty serious to me - I can tell that SOME of them are joking but many others don't sound that way at all.
Go to one of the threads I mentioned about people calling JDS a "boxer" after he won the title and they sound just as serious over there.
See I've always thought that's how a really big high profile fight between a young boxer and MMA fighter would end. If the boxer ever really did get in trouble he could just perform an illegal strike such as what Mayorga did. Even if he gets DQd he still won the "fight." Winning with a dodgy move like that is probably worse than if he just won fairly. It makes MMA look kind of pointless if these grapplers could be so easily nullified by a simple dig in the back which is otherwise banned.

Source?
*And no, Kid McCoy's blatant (but pretty funny) trolling doesn't count*
Thanks for this post. I'll be sure to reference it whenever you masquerade as an MMA fan in the heavies.The guy spent the last ten years of his life studying a martial art that got completely wasted by one dodgy knee shot. It kind of makes it look like grappling in MMA would be pretty useless if moves like that were legal.
He would have been undefeated if Sherdog didn't blow his cover.he was 5-1. Fight Finder just wishes he was 0-1

Tiffer (5-1) has been in the MMA game for nearly a decade, but has not competed professionally since 2009 due to the fact he started up his own fight team, Wesley MMA Team. Tiffer believed his fighting days were over, but when the match up with Mayorga was presented, the 39-year-old couldn't pass up the opportunity.
P.S
this fight has given us some mighty troll repellent for the Mayweather fight tonight. Could you imagine how this forum would look right now if Mayorga had lost?
fuck this piece of shit scumbag, din Thomas would cut him up with elbows likes hes taking another machete strike

And boxers could be so easily nullified by illegal moves in their own 'sport' which is just a tiny part of MMA. Lol...
boxing is a sport unto itself, it isn't pretending to be anything else. It has all kinds of rules making sure the flow of "punching" continues. Boxing has always sought to separate itself from street fighting.
MMA has always been the "just bleed this is what happens in a real fight" sport. It's too often claimed that a grappler "will just take down and choke out the boxer" in a real fight. Something like this kind of shows us that a lot of the various mount positions would be impossible to hold in a real fight.
