Re: The last big fight De La Hoya - Mayweather
[ QUOTE ]
The only real good fights I have seen lately have been from straight up sluggers (Liddell) or from guys that just like brawling (Bisping comes to mind). Man [censored] an arm bar!

It's interesting that you would bring up Liddell. He's the best fighter in the MMA and his opponents usually leave the ring bloodied and cleaved (or unconscious).
Contrast that to boxing where Mayweather is considered the best. After the fight last night, I couldn't even tell that Oscar had been in a fight. Mayweather may have smudged Oscar's mascara a little bit and added some color to his cheeks, but I'm sure Oscar fixed that with a trip to the beauty salon today.
For perspective, all one needs to do is look at the respective fighters' nicknames:
Boxing: Pretty Boy Floyd v. Golden Boy
MMA: Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell v. "Rampage" Jackson
So in boxing you have two bois dancing around the ring for 12 rounds. While in MMA you have one fighter who will knock you into the next ice age versus another fighter who is constantly raping and pillaging. Case closed.
