Problem is that a lot of people don’t enjoy sports or the athletes. They’re watching to start or win arguments against a bunch of other losers. That’s why everything has to be extreme. Everyone’s overrated. They can’t even discuss players they like without putting another down.
Ngl, some of my favorite fighters to watch have a boxing style tho:
- Petr Yan
- Topuria
- JDM
- Joshua Van
Most MMA fans do like boxing, the only is difference is that you have less KO’s in elite boxing, due to bigger gloves
Boxing vs. MMA discourse in 2026 is genuinely pointless. Both sports are amazing in their own ways, & 9/10 pure boxers lose in mma & 9/10 mma fighters lose in boxing. I hate to sound like a centrist but I’ve heard nothing productive or new & ya’ll keep arguing in bad faith.
