So, let's look at what we have here.
On one side we have Strange Famous, who is now accusing others of not "answering" his "points." The problem is that he doesn't seem to have any points. In reality, he hasn't answered anyone else's. I'll use Doc Bungle as an example:

Insulting the sport of mma certainly doesn't make your opinions any more viable.
The numbers speak for themselves. Boxing is in a lot of trouble and has been for a while. The heavyweight division has been non-existent since Lennox Lewis retired, and most of the major fighters in the lighter divisions are used up or ready for retirement themselves. The absence of DeLa Hoya will be huge, as he accounted for the biggest ppv draws in the division's history.
There are a few rising "stars" with potential, such as Cotto and Hatton, but the promoters are killing the sport, and have been for a long time. They will continue to do so as long as the sport is unregulated. The promotors actually control the entire sport of boxing, which is why it is so corrupt, and you don't see this in any other sport. All other professional sports compete off of ACTUAL RANKINGS. That is the whole point of having a LEAGUE. You wonder when boxing will wake up to this fact.
The alphabet ranking organizations, more often than not, award fights based off of money, not actual rankings. There are so many uncompetitive championship fights nowadays, and that is why the popularity of the sport has plummeted. That, and all of the scandals, indictments of the rankings organization officials, bad judge decisions, bribes, and so on and so forth.
This is all widely documented and very easy to find on the web.
You say that mma will never be what boxing is. Well, I say that mma may never be as large as boxing WAS, but, then again, I say neither will boxing.
But time will tell.

I haven't seen him address a single issue brought up in this post. Maybe he'll do that now, just so the rest of us can see if he tries to change the nature of the "debate" again, or if he can actually take an objective look at a few things and come up with an intelligent response that has nothing to do with his definition of manliness or cowardice or thug.
He seems to change the nature of the debate with each and every post. The debate is about manliness, no wait it's about popularity, no wait it's about the percentages of wins per fighter, no wait it's about who is known as "da champ", no wait....
It's only about Strange Famous. It's not really about anything else.
And on the other side we have MMA fans - most of whom are also boxing fans - trying to reason with an unreasonable man. It seems to be a futile exercise.
Strange doesn't even know who Emelianenko is. This alone should end whatever debate you are having with this man.
Anyhow, Strange, I did not intend to be condescending, but I find your posts to be quite arrogant. For someone so uneducated on MMA, and apparenty boxing as well, arrogance is one trait that you do not wear well.
