I know. MMA has done a complete takeover.

I used to love to watch boxing. I was still a big fan when the Klitschko brothers first came on the scene. I used to watch all the Roy Jones Jr. fights. I remember watching Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran and Marvin Hagler with my dad back in the day.

I do much prefer MMA now and it has seemed to have done a complete takeover as you say.

It's impossible to dominate MMA in the way that Floyd Mayweather has. The style matchups aren't conducive to it, which is one of the great things about it. And when you watch two BJJ guys that are very skilled going against each other, it's phenomenal. Submission attempt and defense over and over, reversals. It's artistic.

A guy can be losing the entire fight and pull it out in the end with a submission.

Obviously a lot of people agree with you.

It's too bad because there are a lot of good boxers right now. But boxing promoters ruin the sport. No reason GGG and Canelo shouldn't be fighting this summer and I guarantee it will end up in 2018. Probably after 1 of them loses.

Meryl Streep disagrees. She says mixed martial arts aren't the arts.
