Boxing will probably never be the same. The main reason is parents dont steer there kids toward boxing anymore. Unlike MMA it takes years to perfect boxing. You just cant jump into it at 15 and become great at it. Boxing is alot of hard work and dedication and most kids these days just dont wanna do the work. Instead MMA is the easier alternative and has become more popular. But to me boxing takes more skill and discipline. Anybody can fight/grapple but not many can stand toe to toe and box.

False. Deontay Wilder began boxing in his 20s. He won the bronze medal at the Olympics in the Heavyweight division and is now considered a top heavyweight prospect. His size, speed, punch and raw athletic ability more than made up for his late start.

Sir this statement is completely false. MMA actually takes more work.

Congrats on the most ignorant response in this entire thread.

agreed. a lot of MMA fighters simply impose their physical will on their opponents. see: Kimbo Slice
