Floyd Mayweather Jr made comments about the UFC saying "Fighters who arents good enough for boxing, go to the UFC". And this commentator named Lampley said last night that "The skill involved in the De La Hoya vs Mayweather fight, it will take light years to see that skill in MMA"
Something along those lines. I didnt quote them directly, but its about right.
My only problem with this is... Boxing is not good anymore. Why do they insist on talking about MMA when its as popular as it is now. They fail to realize that Jui Jitsu practitioners are as technically good as Mayweathers hands. Its just in a different category. Mayweather vs Sean Shirk, or De La Hoya vs Anderson Silva. I dont know, I just dont see how they can think that boxing is harder than MMA. In boxing, you have to learn how to punch. Then learn everything around it. In MMA you need to learn to punch, kick, grapple, take downs, take down defence, punching and kicking defence.. etc.. And then learn everything around that. I like boxing. But IMO, MMA is harder to learn, and takes more skill than boxing.
