If tyhe ultimate test of manliness means biting another mans ear off then yes it sure is.

MMA is a flash in the pan, a retrograde step, going backwards to an uglier and less exciting contest. They package it like WWF, and they have some fans in a certain area (male, young, middle class)

Hardly a flash in the pan, if that were the case it's popularity wouldn't be constantly going up, it would have peaked by now. Only fans in certain areas you say? Any actual proof, or are you just using opinion and trying to pawn it off as a fact still?

Boxing is an honest sport for working men. The middle class fans of MMA will soon move on to something else once this thing is no longer trendy.

Honest sport? Please, it's so fuckin corrupt it isn't funny. Easy opponents to pad records, biting ears, phantom punches for knockouts.......yeah real honest sport you have there.

When no one remembers who Brock Lesner or Randy Coutre is - John L Sullivan will stand out, a name ringing true across the ages, as a mighty heavyweight champion, the pinnacle of manliness.

You've got some odd ideas of what 'manliness' is that's for sure

Wasn't he a drunk who was afraid to fight black men?

Sure was a drunk...

Yeah sounds like a great example of a 'man'

I second this statement. It's a the point now that every 'point' or 'fact'(opinion) SF uses has been disproved to the point we don't even have to make new posts, we can just go back and copy and paste. If you don't have actual FACTS SF or anything that hasn't been beaten to death as was said last page, let this thread die, or go to the Hall of Fame where it belongs
