I disagree, Tokka. Like I've said, even in a "real" fight, the ONLY way a boxer would beat a wrestler is if the wrestler had no idea what he was doing. You think a wrestler would be dumb enough to actually stand there and let a boxer punch them in the face? The reason people think boxers are tougher than wrestlers is because boxing is a glamorized sport and wrestling is ignored except when the Olympics come around every four years. But that doesn't mean a boxer can beat a wrestler in a fight. A fistfight? Maybe, but again, only an idiot would stand there and try to trade punches.
As I've said, I've been in a lot of fights, and nobody's connected with a punch on me in years. When someone swings at you, you take them down, neutralize them, and if you have to, break the arm or dislocate it. Wrestling taught me how to do that. You think your average boxer knows how to do that? I mean they might have the general idea, but do they know how to use leverage to gain an advantage over a larger opponent? Can they use their opponent's weight against them in keeping them off-balance? Can they not only block a punch, but keep the opponent from throwing another one?
If I ever fought a boxer I'd hook his arm, take him down on the ground and dislocate his elbow, and right there I'd eliminate 90% of his offense. I really don't see how being able to punch hard gives someone any kind of advantage, especially when it's a LOT easier to take someone down in a hold than try and knock them out with a punch.
And boxing is real? Depends on who the promoter is, and if you think boxing is always 100% legit, you haven't seen ANYTHING Don King's promoted in the last ten years.
