The high school level is still doing well, but there will be some trickle down effect as upper tier colleges lack the resources to provide them hefty scholarships, and the dwindling number of programs will force kids to choose between a school they want and a school that has wrestling. I haven’t heard about the Japan thing.
Understanding an omoplata and triangle have nothing to do with the general public enjoying the sport. The idea that they’re actually on the ground fighting, and hardly ever stopping, is what people find a rush in. General audiences find excitement in constant action and of course, blood. I’m sorry if in your opinion I’m saying “stupid shit”, but the stats support me.

No, this thread will not be created because the answer is obviously an MMAer. That’s why pretty boy shut his mouth after Dana White called him out and offered Sean Sherk up to fight him. [/quote]
mhmm.mhmm.k well if your going by that logic why your boy dana not let silva fight rjj…stfu retard affliction wearing fatass

hahaha…if you think siva would make it 3 rounds with an OLD roy jones you are so so stupid
Read the thread before you reply. Dana’s not my boy and one reason I hate him is because he won’t let Anderson fight. I think Roy would be tough but Anderson has ridiculous accuracy on his punches due to his long career of thai boxing training. Not to mention his incredible reach.
And uh, I don’t wear Affliction. Not everyone who watches MMA wears Tapout and Affliction and hates their families. Don’t make dumb generalizations.

This is what it is about. You like mma more. Or you like mma and do not like boxing. Which ever it is. That is fine, but that is enough to know. You feel mma is more exciting, though this is subjective. And it does have a wider range of technique.
I always find it amusing how people come up with reasons why what they like is better than what someone else likes. I like Coke so naturally it must be better than Pepsi. Brand loyalty so to speak.
Anyway I don’t know why you felt it neccessary to jump onto a boxing thread about Cotto-Margarito to let us know how boxing is dying and is not exciting, and a boxing match cannot be considered fight of the decade material etc etc. Maybe I should have ignored you. Though before that maybe you should have just not wrote anything, how hard would that have been? Yes you are free to write anything, but I think you would have known what the consequences would be. Now this thread went to hell and there is barely any talk of the Cotto-Margarito fight, and it was worth talking about.

If anyone is making dumb generalizations here…it would have to be your shit generalizations of the sport of boxing. And your oversimplification of the sport in comparison to mma. Boxing will always have a place, no matter what. Whether ufc exists here or not, boxing will always have a place. I’m sure I liked mma before you even knew what an armbar was quin, so I have been here before when it was practically unknown, and after when it’s explosion happened and everyone and their wannabe fighter college roommate watched it and proceeded to bash boxing.
Don’t get me wrong, because I like both sports, however the reason all these idiots, assholes, college pricks, rich boys, suburban cunts and of course uneducated rednecks enjoy mma over boxing is the same reason these same people prefer watching a movie over reading a novel. Boxing is “dull and boring” to watch because it requires real standup skill, tactical skill, in which some cases can be boring …thats boxing. People don’t want to take the time and appreciate or understand it because I guess they are too lazy. So instead they’d rather watch suburban kids with 10-6 records flail their arms(because thats GLADIATOR LIKE) and wrestle. Sure some jiu jitsu is hard to watch unless you know about it…much like boxing, which is why these same “fans” claim they are just LAYING THERE whenever they show a bit of tactical skill on the ground in the form of bjj.
UFC exploded here on such broad terms also because of the viewers thinking “oh I could do this too”. HENCE the reason for all the suburban teens (who aren’t tough, never fought) wearing tapout shirts, and hats, and beanies, and stickers, and hoodies, and jackets…You can honestly argue the point allllll you want, and most boxing fans would probably agree that majority of world class boxers could would get crushed in mma. But the opposite is true as well. The MAJORITY of mma fighters would get crushed against a world class boxer in a boxing ring. Who cares? It proves nothing of either side.
Boxing will always thrive, whether it be to a vast audience as before, or to a more selective one, it will always be there. And I kind of like it being selective, it keeps guys like you quinn, from polluting the fanbase. Normally I leave my posts informative and friendly but on this note…fuck you and possibly die if you get the chance.

Point proven.
I knew this fight would live up to expectations. The fire works happened in round 11, what a fight. All Margarito needs now is to beat P. Williams in a rematch to solidify his reign as the top dog at welter.

Yup…there is noone else I’d like to see on top more than the tijuana tornado.
I hope you would understand the fact that im not trying to sound like i know it all but coming from several years of intense boxing/competing, living the sport, watching countless fights that i do know a little bit.
I have switched over to mma but seriously silva is just not on the level of an even old roy much less someone such as chad dawson or kelly pavlik who both would ruin silvas night…im not making this mma vs. boxing i do mma now and alone being a great boxer means shit i can atest to this…
but if you havent competed purely in boxing for sometime you may not understand that it is more than simply great technique like silva has…its almost like no-gi jj to wearing the gi but way more so…
you use the bigger gloves in certain ways that silva does not understand like roy doesand yes he has great speed/reflexes/counterpunching and ring generalship…take into account an old roy has faster hands while wearing BOXING GLOVES than silva does in mma gloves
O and yes i won 350 on the margarito fight!!!floyd needs to get off his ass and do work on the tijuana tornado he would win a one sided fight i think.cotto was doing much better than i expected in the first few rounds boxing tony…only diff.
Is floyd is a MUCH MUCH MUCH better boxer than cotto and is in even better shape than tony he would not wear down…prolly be much like the baldomir fight floyd just popshotting all night.tony does not make it difficult to be countered
FWIW I actually could have cared less about boxing until I started practicing MMA. Not until I had to give and take real punches did I really understand the science and the beauty of the footwork/timing/head movement that pro boxers have. It’s truly amazing.
no boxer would ever win an MMA fight against a legit opponent.
no MMAer would ever win a boxing match against a legit opponent.
I hope boxing and MMA can coexist like they have for the past 3 years. MMA is obviously on the rise and no one can dispute that.
But I also read somewhere that boxing PPV buys are higher than they ever have been. It would be a shame to have the truly brilliant boxers be wasting years of their time learning JJ and wrestling when they should be boxing.

I said it a while ago, I think Floyd would maul Cotto.
However…Margarito only needs a couple of shots to knock you stupid. Plus, he’s a lot taller and larger than Floyd too… that would be a hell of a fight.
