@Shawackem@blurrybonez@kennethisdope@TheMacLife They’ll win 9/10 times if they’re a equally skilled. Boxer has no way defend a takedown or properly defend against kicks. Boxers aren’t even the best pure striking artists. Muay Thai fighters are above them in that regard as well.
@blurrybonez@Shawackem@kennethisdope@TheMacLife Yeah boxers also complain when the rules of their sport is broken so I’m not sure what that’s supposed to prove. Doesn’t mean that any boxer would be able to stop a MMA fighter from shooting a double leg and choking them out ✌️😭
@locksvfx@anthonyjohnp12@ExpoMMA_@AtomicDawg8 Your missing the big picture. Justin is on the verge of retirement and we probably won’t see Topuira back till 2027. Ilia wont be cleared in time for the rematch.
@ndqk_@RickyB_official@hydra468@twotw_horror Terrance straight up said he wasn’t turning down the fight because the money wasn’t good.
Therefore argument over.
Terrance didn’t want to fight Connor in Octagon because he knew he’d get beat up.
@ndqk_@RickyB_official@hydra468@twotw_horror 200 million was the number according to Conor.
Also Terrance literally agreed with Conor’s sentiment here. He said straight up said “yeah, but it’s not all about the money” and that he turned it down because he knows he’d lose, but your still coping about it ✌️😭
@thirddayglow@8EnthusiastMMA It’s really crazy how good 2016-2020 lightweight really was looking back at it. Dustin and Justin were still doing work agaisnt all these new gen fighters despite being past their prime.
@blurrybonez@kennethisdope@TheMacLife I don’t think he can do everything better. Ciryl and Tom are both better pure strikers than Bones id say, but he is the best grappler in heavyweight by miles.
@blurrybonez@kennethisdope@TheMacLife If you think that Bones is the only elite to ever exist than yeah your crazy. Islam, GSP, Daniel Cormier, Volk, are great at basically every aspect of martial arts and they’d all kill every single elite boxer in history in a fight.
@blurrybonez@kennethisdope@TheMacLife MMA is boxing + a bunch of other styles. A elite level MMA fighter has to be a good boxer, a good wrestler, a good kick boxer, and a good submission artist. I’d say that a lower level boxer is more skilled than a lower level MMA guy, but if we’re talking Elites it’s 100% MMA.

Here’s Terrance Crawford verbatim stating that he was offered “A lot of money”, to fight Conor in a boxing/mma hybrid match, but turned it down because he’d rather not get beaten badly.
@ExpoMMA_@Kairothegoat22 It’s def not because he’s scared of him. The winner of McGregor vs Holloway is better for him. Either he gets the rematch he wants with Holloway or gets the McGregor payday.
@blurrybonez@kennethisdope@TheMacLife Boxing is a big part of MMA no doubt, but nobody has ever succeeded in UFC who was trained purely in boxing, even if they specialized in it.
Terrance himself said he respected MMA and realized he wouldn’t be able to compete in it. Why are you pretending he’d have a shot in MMA?
@ndqk_@RickyB_official@hydra468@twotw_horror You said boxers don’t get in the octagon because of the money, but even when they are offered enough money they still don’t wanna do it because they know they’d lose.
AKA they’re scared.
@blurrybonez@kennethisdope@TheMacLife This was like years ago so he wasn’t retired yet, and he himself said they offered enough money. He turned it down because he knew he was at a disadvantage. The video is right there and your still making excuses ✌️😭
@nitroboyshock@hydra468 Yall gotta stop using the money excuse. Terrance Crawford verbatim said that he didn’t want to fight Conor McGregor in the octagon even though they offered enough money to do it because he realized he’d get fucked up.
