I am a wrestler... was, hard to say was. I 100% believe wrestlers will whoop a boxer generally. As far as actual fighting goes, wrestling is far superior. But, I am not a fan of watching wrestling. In tournaments I'd catch naps because it's that boring to watch for me. Boxing on the other hand, is FAR more exciting to watch. I couldn't stand there for 12 catching shots, you have to respect a warrior. And it's awsome when instead of being hit, guys like Ali, Mayweather, Robinson, Whitaker etc. can make guys miss by a fraction of an inch and be comfortable. AMAZING. I could easily go on for hours why boxing is the best sport to watch, but everyone has their own opinions I am sure my ranting will not change. But that's how I look at it. Want to learn to fight? Wrestle. Want a good show? Watch boxing.

Pac-Man. Check the KO to win ratio.\n\nI'd pit anyone even 200 pounders versus Pac.

no, boxing is a good sport to watch or do, even it seems it is a little wild. \n\nthe most beautiful thing about boxing is after the match, two opponents congratulate each other, after they had punched each other for all the match. in which sport do you see this?\n\nın soccer or basketball or any other court sports, most of the time, the loser leaves the pitch but in most of the fighting sports, they act better to each other after the match.

Assuming you mean like, competitive high school or collegiate wrestling....\n\nIt's both.  :)  From what I have seen, Greco-Roman does focus more on strength, whereas freestyle or folkstyle does more technique, but the differences are small.\n\nYou are going to need strength so you can maintain position and not get pinned or scored on by your opponent's technique.  Likewise, you will need technique so you can find the leverage *within the rules* to overcome your opponent's strength, as a lot of the ways technique *can* overcome superior strength almost require you to break the rules regarding "torturous" technique or illegal submission attempts, such as hammer-locking an arm past the 90-degree mark, for example.\n\nOne thing I would work on though, is doing diverse strength training....you likely know you should be doing squats to develop leg power so you can shoot in for a takedown...another idea is to work on pullups and/or seated rows to develop *pulling* arm strength to back up that shoot.\n\nBut yes, you need both.  Especially in freestyle, especially in the lower weight divisions.\n\nHope this helps.  :)

Muay Thai because its the funnest to watch,  you can knock people out with elbows, feet, knees, hands, shins, i've even seen people get kicked with the heel of a foot and go to sleep.\nor Ju Jitsu because its smart, its the perfect way to neutralize someone who is a better striker then you.

If you love boxing, then the only advice is to train very hard. The moves are few, direct, powerful, and every boxer knows what the moves are. To be good, you'll have to sweat a river or two. Find a good gym and a good trainer. They can help your game a lot more than people online who haven't seen what you can do. So what are you still doing online? Go train already.\n\nIf you need the rules reviewed:\nhttp://www.usaboxing.org/1068.htm\nIf really need talking about it:\nhttp://lukey33.proboards17.com/index.cgi\nIf you want news:\nhttp://www.boxinginsider.com/

Belts matter in that they determine a persons skill level and dicipline. Just because your boxing is better than the higher ranked opponant doesn't mean your kicks or submissions are...\n\nI train in Judo for many years so when I got in to wrestling in high school it was easy for me to pick up on fast so I was beating allot of guys who were more experoenced than me. But when it came to the basics of wrestling I jad alot to learn.\n\nUse your skills to make what you are learning better. But don't think jst because you out struck a higher ranked opponant that you can do it again. Have respect for the higher ranks they will teach you a lot and be humble.

Go with boxing. on a bike you only work your legs. Boxing you work you legs, arms, abs. its just an all around better workout. I would know, im only 13 and i can bench 200 pounds.

I would say so, I can't stand boxing anymore, it's boring to watch, and I used to box! The only thing boxing has going for it's self is De La Hoya VS Mayweather, and that fight is 6 months away, what a joke. and it will probelly be boring. Boxing is dead, they can thank the UFC, and Pride FC, and Don King, if he wasn't so blatantly crooked, then people might jump on the boxing band wagon, again if someone new and exciting comes along, but now who cares! let it die!

Well, what you say is both true and not exactly true.\n\nSee ??? wrestling is the most dominant fighting style of all time. That much is undisputed. \n\nIn fact, the most dominant fighting style of current times is wrestling(http://www.sherdog.com/stats/upr_styles_current.asp) and the most dominant fighting style of all time is wrestling (http://www.sherdog.com/stats/upr_styles_alltime.asp) too.\n\nNow, that essentially translates into this:- \n\nIn a mixed martial arts enviroment, where fighting styles are pitted against other styles, cross trained wrestlers have been far superior performers then cross trained Judo practitioners, cross trained kickboxers or cross trained Brazillian Jiu Jitsu fighters.\n\nAlso, wrestling is essential for EVERYONE to learn, and is the underlying secret behind MMA success. See ?? you can NEVER take Brazillian Jiu Jitsu (fighters in Japan and Russian rarely do) in your life and still KO Ceaser Graie in what ?? 21 seconds like shoot wrestler Frank Shamrock did.\n\nUnbeatable champions like Fedor Emalianeko are wrestlers [Fedor studies Judo and Sambo, both forms of Internationally sanctioned amature wrestling under the International Association of Federated Wretling Styles (FILA)]. According to the Russian sensibilities "wrestling" is associated with Sambo, the Japanese sensibilities tilt towards accepting Judo as "wrestling' and the Americans think that wrestling as they know it is "Folkstyle/Collegiate". Intrestingly enough, there are as many forms of wrestling as there are cultures.\n\nAND, rival systems like BJJ incorporate single leg and doble leg takedowns,sprawls, slamming takedowns and a plethora of moves from freestyle wrestling [another wrestling discipline sanctioned by the international Association of Federated Wretling Styles (FILA)]. In fact, you can walk into a Mixed Martial arts enviroment and substitute Brazillian Jiu Jitsu with Catch wrestling or shoot wrestling or sambo wrestling, you can substitute Muai Thai with forms of kickboxing but wrestling stays in your curriculum whether you take shootfighting, Miletech martial arts, Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu. You get the idea.\n\nWrestling is that indispensible.\n\nThe fact is, nowadays everyone who is of note in mixed martial arts is a profiecient wrestler.\n\nHaving said all that, a pure wrestler against a man who has trained in wrestling + Brazillian Jiu Jitsu(or shootfighting)+ boxing will be at a disadvantage........quite simply because the other man knows wrestling and striking as well......\n\nexamples:-\n\n1) Olympic gold medal winner Kevin Jackson went against Shoot wrestler Frank Shamrock, got armbarred in 16 seconds.\n\n2) Pro wrestler Kazuyuki Fujita KO'ed Karam Ibrahim.\n\nWrestling as a single style martial arts is great, but in a mixed martial arts enviroment, where studying even an advanced hybrid system like Combat Submission Wrestling, Shoot wrestling and Brazillian Jiu Jitsu is not enough, any single style does not have the capability to defeat all styles combined.

Based on some of the pay per view figures from the United States, the UFC has all ready has passed boxing many times but not for all fights. Eventually MMA will be the biggest combat sport on earth because it is actually safer then boxing, it is run better than boxing and because it is more exciting than boxing. For example, there has never been a death in the UFC since it started in 1993 and there are almost no cases of the UFC or other MMA fighters being in trouble with the law which has happened many times in professional boxing. Boxing is a tough sport that takes dedication and skill to master but it's nature is just to punch an opponent in the head, which, even if you are a great boxer, takes it's toll on anyone after a few years. With MMA, you are learning not only how to box, but you are allowed to and trained to avoid being punched in the face which you cannot do so well in a boxing match. The UFC Fighters are also great role models - alot of them are just good family men who train very hard six or seven days a week and are also involved very actively in their communities.
