What a strange little thread this is. I was unaware of the "debate" that was boxing vs. mma, so I thought I'd poke my head in and take a peek.
All I see here is a single circular argument that keeps referring back to itself as the basis for the argument (StrangeFamous), which is no argument at all.
MMA and boxing are two variants of the exact same premise: beat the crap out of your opponent until you either knock them unconscious or the referee stops the fight. For you, Strange Famous, to draw such a distinction as you do between the two is just plain silly. You are arguing technicalities while ignoring everything else within both sports.
They are both unabashedly brutal, there is no denying it. But you either go for that sort of thing or you do not.
As an aside, having just slogged through this entire thread, I've noticed that you, Strange Famous, after starting the thread, haven't responded to any of the valid points that have been brought up regarding the state of boxing as a whole or the statistics that show how large MMA has already become.
Just saying.
