Yeah, I said it.

I debated writing this article for a long time.  Sometimes I think boxing fans can be too hard on their ugly little step-sister.  I'd hate to seem like the school yard bully picking on the new guy.

But no, MMA sucks and that's all there is to it, and if you need me to run down the reasons for you then I will.

1. Boxing is a sport: No,  people fighting doesn't make MMA a sport.  Boxing is a sport.  Boxing has rules, history and Olympic validation .  MMA has dudes in shorts hugging on the floor until someone screams.

2. Great boxers are bigger than life: Think of guys like Joe Louis, Muhammed Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Mike Tyson.  Now think of dudes in shorts hugging on the floor until someone screams.   Which do you prefer?

3.  Impact: No, it's not the name of UFC 99.  Boxing/boxers have made huge impacts on global culture.  When Joe Louis beat Max Schmelling in 1938 it wasn't just for the heavyweight championship.  It was the world versus NazI Germany, good versus evil.  Ali-Frazier I was a clash of American cultures.  Jack Johnson knocked alleged white superiority right out of James J. Jeffries and company in one of  the most important sporting events ever.  I could go on, but you get the idea.  The biggest impact MMA has on the world is a bunch of wannabe losers putting tapout stickers on their cars.

4. MMA is boring:  Some idiots think boxing is boring.  They clammor for fighters to show less skill and more idiocy in the ring.  Tactical fighting has gone the way of baseball: dumbed down American culture just doesn't have the patience anymore.  On the other had, MMA delivers knockouts sometimes, but usually it just ends up in dudes in shorts hugging on the floor until someone screams. 

5.  The Sweet Science: Boxing is one of the few things in life that can be both beautiful and brutal at the same time.  Its poetry in motion.   MMA is just brutal and boring.  Boxing is the Sweet Science.  MMA is the Science of  Suck.

So there you have it. 

I could go on, but if you've read this far I know you're a boxing fan already because most MMA fans have the attention span of an ADD toddler.
