- "Ain't nothing harder than boxing...It takes time to do this sh*t...it's easier to tap out...in boxing, you gonna do one thing or the other. Either you gonna quit or you gonna let a motherf*cker whoop your motherf*ckin ass," stated world-class trainer Roger Mayweather, who explained why he thinks boxing is a more difficult sport than mixed martial arts. Check it out!

I like what he said about quitting: when you realise it's a futile and dangerous effort to continue fighting you should just stop instead of risking serious harm to yourself.
To become good in Boxing it takes longer... Accumulation,timing and skill level... So in so many ways he's right.. But it's hard as hell to train in various disciplines in MMA tho...
FULLTIMEKILLER all you do is punch in boxing takes no fuckng skill
lil saff21 boxing is going down hill ufc is getting bigger
@@RANDOM-nb9sm all ufc fighters do is wrestle throw sloppy off balance kicks, and forget about punching, because they can't!
RANDOM918172, If it takes “no fucking skill” why can’t any bum off the street become an undefeated champion? Why is it that the majority of boxers throughout history have multiple losses and make it nowhere in the sport? Also, why can’t these mma fighters do shit with these real boxers in the ring if it takes no skill?
@@clintonhouston1048 obviously you don't watch ufc. btw, i like both mma and boxing.
I look at Roger and see a real true G, who put in some unforgettable work.
As a former Martial Arts competitor and Golden Glove champion, boxing is the hardest sport. Although, Wrestling and BJJ are effective combat sports, you can learn these arts in a calm environment. Boxing hurts to learn. The sparring matches turn into wars etc. It's a clubbing sport. Early MMA and even today, you have people come in and dominate the previous champion. Look at Ronda Rousey (Olympic Medalist) dominate the sport now with a background in Judo. So the sport has not fully developed yet. When kids do MMA and become adults, it may be harder for a Ronda Rousey to step in and dominate. MMA is growing. The Gracie's are no longer feared and the projected winner. If you go to a boxing gym, you will see 5 year olds boxing. MMA is doing this now. I believe that MMA will grow and cross-overs (From Wrestling , BJJ, and Judo) will have a tough time crossing over.
If you’re still around what’s your take on it all now?
You can master Boxing but you can't master MMA.
Boxing is a pure skill unlike MMA.
Real Boxing lol ok buddy. You don't know shit about mma.

I watch UFC I like that Joanna Polish girl but that other guy is ridiculous.
Boxing they cover their face with big gloves dosent works
@@princenaseem6123step in the ring and then talk goof
Roger Mayweather's got to be the funniest man in boxing. He seems a lot calmer and articulate these days though.
Came here to listen to someone who actually knows shit about boxing.
You still won't know shit about boxing
Yup
Brock Lesnar came off the street and was UFC champ in 5 fights that shit will NEVER happen in boxing.
Brock Lesnar DON'T CAME OF THE STREET !
Brock is a good athlet and a good wrestler. And that he used veary well, so he become champ.
In MMA you have more abilities to win a match.
enesog dude brock lesnar was a roided out circus freak, he was no fucking athlete he would get TUNED in the boxing ring. All that goon can do is throw haymakers and grapple on people use his weight and shit
+Real Boxing He was a D1 national champion collegiate wrestler, that is a VERY good athlete. Most of these boxers don't have that kind of athleticism to where they could have made it to that level in wrestling. Plus last I checked plenty of boxers get popped for roids just like in every other pro sport.
+vincent e yea he won the ncaa heavyweight championship in college so its like he was a amateur boxing champion
Of course that will never happen in Boxing.
But it is dumb to compare MMA with Boxing.
In MMA there are Pro Fighters with different backgrounds fighting each other. So his argument "That will never happen in Boxing" ist uncomprehensive and don't acort to the fact, that MMA is not just one fighting art like boxing.
Mixed martial artists spend a significant amount of time learning boxing techniques and they still suck at it. If a boxer spent the same amount of time learning MMA skills they would probably dominate that sport within a short amount of time. An MMA fighter however could probably never become a boxing champion because the sport requires a lot of natural ability and it takes years perfect those abilities and gain experience. In MMA you can compensate for lack of natural ability by being halfway decent in other disciplines.
+Gambino Young Meskin (Mr. Gambino) Yeah because wrestling olympians, d1 college champs, world champion jitz players, and ranked kick boxers aren't good athletes lmao.
Anybody can be an MMA fighter. Most of those guys in MMA came off the streets and joined the UFC television show. MMA is crap!
I agree.
It takes years and years to get to the top in boxing, you just can't come in off the street and start dominating boxing, or come form football and be heavyweight champ lol.
Kenny Porter stupid, it takes years and years to master and be on top in anything, be it football, basketball, golf, or boxing, you name it...you state the obvious and you think your special...lol @ you
chingon711 why are you so butt hurt about it. It's just his opinion chill the fuck out. Roger Mayweather has accomplish a lot and trains MMA fighters as well. People are going take his word over a dude that calls people names on RUclips.
paidallday it got your attention...nuff said.
chingon711 So what ?! lol you want a cookie?
paidallday sure! now hurry the fuck up and i want a glass of milk with it.
Jon Jones is a failed wrestler who never made the US national wrestling team, he left college at 21 and took up MMA. 2 years later he was crowned LHW champ.
If you seriously think MMA is more difficult than nuanced sports like Boxing & Wrestling you are fucking crazy.
Ben Askren, Johny Hendricks, Uriah Faber and Josh Koscheck have all said Wrestling is harder than MMA. Ronda Rousey said Judo is harder than MMA and Frank Shamrock and Costa Phillipou have both said Boxing is harder than MMA. The only people claiming MMA is the hardest sport in the world is the deluded MMA / WWE fanboys.
***** actually MMA is full of boxing rejects
***** nevermind you sound silly most people that become virtuosos in Boxing start at an early age look at Jon Jones Light Heavyweight Champion in the UFC but didn't make the US National team in wrestling
***** we talking about learning the craft nevermind talking to you is like talking to a brick wall
***** Heavyweight, Light-Heavyweight, Middleweight, Welterweight, Bantamweight and Flyweight champs all came from wrestling and later transitioned to MMA in their early to mid twenties. Stop deluding yourself lol. Olympic standard Wrestlers and Pro Boxers have more talent in their left bollock than any UFC fighters.
+OuchPleaseNoooo Jon Jones was a national jc champ and had D1 colleges looking at him you chump lmao. He took up mma because he was broke and was interested. He's a great athlete and gave it a shot.
1) Boxing is a craft that needs to be perfected and mastered in depth.
2) MMA is a jack of all trades. You don't have to master anything, being well rounded is enough to be a good MMA fighter.
It's harder to master a single craft than be a jack of all trades. That being said the jack of all trades most of the time (not all the time) can beat the master at single discipline.
if boxing have more trainers like Roger mayweather to know what the hell they talking about the sport would be still alive
roger gives it to you raw and he's 100% right.
BoxingFan89 not really
Roger Mayweather is as great a loss to boxing as Muhammad Ali , much of his words and tips of boxing can be applied to so many other areas of life .
May you r.i.p Sir Roger you gone to soon but you earnt that rest ❤️👑😘
So much knowledge. But it isn’t loss, Floyd is still here. It’s all in Floyd’s head.
@@ritzkola2302 🤣
@@boxingchief9543 -🤡😂
I wish i could have a talk with him at least for 5mn… He’s a hall of fame in my eyes, he respected boxing like it was a religion 💯🙏
I understand what he is saying.. no mma fighter has anywhere near the technical proficiency with their hands as a boxer. But MMA is the combination of various martial arts, including boxing. Therefor it is clear that the 'perfect' mma fighter who has learnt everything possible about the sport would take far longer to develop their skill set than the 'perfect' boxer. In fact it is not even a close comparison. Disregarding athleticism for the moment, there are so many aspects of mma that i believe it is IMPOSSIBLE to learn and become proficient in every technique. I dont believe this is true for boxing.
You know what we called guys that kicked during a fight...................women.
If I want to see two guys grab each other's balls I would go to a public restroom.
Boxing is a gentle men's sport
You gotta have class and taste
To appreciate the sweet science.
2012DVSONE I have no idea what public restrooms you go to...
The only reason boxing seems more difficult is because the majority of the strikes are aimed to the head, and they're CONSTANTLY aimed at your head. You're not only bound to get knocked out, but more likely to get long term injuries. Now, what makes MMA more difficult is obvious. There's ample amounts of ways to KO'd/Submitted. Both sides trying to argue which is better/harder is actually them promoting their own sport (AKA their job) and taking the off chance that people will want to look up both to actually try and see which is better. You're all just buying into the hype.
a guy like brock lesner couldnt just transition to boxing
brock is a wrestler not boxer
Because he never did mma. As someone who did both I can tell you his personal bias is dead wrong. Boxers don't have any idea how much harder it is to wrestle and how much more conditioning you need to add wrestling and throwing kicks into a boxing game.
He sounds like it is funny but it is not funny what he is saying. The guys who get beat up in boxing really get badly hurt and have long term damage from the sport. So it isn't really funny.
LETS GO CHAMP!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP OG
Never knew You were so funny ,RIP Mr. ROGER...
I do think boxing is a lot harder them mixing marital arts because in mma a fighter can switch levels if he is losing the fight and a boxer can't switch level he is going to have to work threw it.
If a boxer and a mma figher were fight in a mma bout and the mma guy wants to stand with the boxer and the boxer is winning in the stand up the mma guy could clinch or kick or shoot or a double leg and either ground and pound the boxer or sudmit him.
Now is the mma figher and boxer meet in the boxing ring the mma guy could switch levels
a lot of people dont know shit about boxing but roger dont know shit about MMA.. lol. MMA takes the same amount of discipline as boxing...and all the true greats start from young.. just like floyd with boxing.. It is true that a lot of mma fighters are not great boxers.. but they are proficient across many different disciplines.
In mma if a guy knows he is going against a great boxer.....he will try to take him to the mat right away..if a guys know he is going against a great wrestlers and and submission artist.. he will try to stick to boxing and striking... so it is important to have a well rounded game in MMA.. you dont have to be excellent in all disciplines but just be good enough to get your ass out of trouble. now the legends like silva are good at all disciplines..lol. guys like silva in their prime are MONSTERS...
coming from a man that never stepped foot on a wrestling mat.
Here is the thing if you haven't trained MMA you don't know how hard it is, I've trained both sports and MMA is way more harder. We are talking about training Strking, Wrestling and BJJ and doing Strength & Conditioning on top of that. I trained boxing when I was younger and over weight weighing 200 lbs, I never felt like I was going to pass out, yes I was tired and out of breath but not drained. First day I trained MMA I felt like I was going to vomit at the end of the session and this is when I was in shape running every morning and I weighed 147 lbs.
Boxing is harder bc it requires a mastery of a limited skill repertoire in a small square circle whereas in mma you have a broader repertoire of tools and don't need to be an expert in any of those skillsets to be a champion..just need to be proficient enough in a particular skill and deploying the right strategy/tactics over your opponent. The overall speed explosivenss and endurance required in boxing is 2nd to none. Wrestling may be more taxing on body muscle endurance wise but still far less dangerous without having to worry about getting cracked in the head w/ blows to head liver ribs etc.
The thing about mma and boxing is they are 2 very different sports .. mma leaves an opening to boxing because it's one of many techniques you can use in the octagon another thing is you can't run in mma you will be hated mayweather ring antics would fall flat in mma because everyone would hate him also .. Both sides are hard but I don't think a boxer can grasp learning to dodge kicks because they have programmed them selves to deep into focusing on hands I think by instinct they would slip up and catch a kick to the legs body or head easy
Trying to compare box to any combat sport its like compare soccer with basketball, just because both of them use a ball.
Boxing isnt fighting as they say a boxing match and one skill the hands when mma train in all aspects plus boxers use pillows for gloves
True
Big respect to Roger and what he's done with his Nephew including his brother Floyd......
.... but
Most muthalovaz don't know s*** about Martial Arts.
Boxing is a martial art
Wrestling is 3x tougher than boxing
You clearly haven’t boxed before
so the sport where you dont punch each other is harder than the one where you do? You make no sense.
strength wise yes
May Allah rest his soul amiin
Boxing is harder IN A SPECIFIC WAY but that doesn't make MMA easy. Im on not on eithers side, but boxing is one of the hardest sports out there. True, MMA is more aggressive, since you can use elbows, kicks, knees, submissions etc. and since the gloves are somewhat thinner. But we all saw the fight between McGregor and Mayweather. Boxing is more technique than MMA, but again I'm not saying that MMA is easy.
That dosent mean shit lol first off in a real fight or boxing bare knuckle boxing is useless and boxing is hella ez just cover up lol
@@princenaseem6123 in a real street fight there is no rules. You tried to prove a point and you failed.
I will say to become a professional boxer most dudes got hundreds of amateur fights. While MMA as a sport is still so young so you don’t see that
MMA is still young but the the top fighters are all guys who were competing in wrestling, BJJ, Thai boxing, kickboxing, boxing, etc. or some foundation for MMA. While it's true that pro boxers ability to throw tight punches with out coming out of there stance while staying protected, there are so many other facets to a fight than punching and not being punched. Rogers opinion is based on being an expert with one thing and having zero experience in the others. I will listen to his opinion about boxing all day, but on MMA, kicking, grappling etc. he knows nothing. His brother Jeff Mayweather has a much better, more educated take on the subject.
Boxing is strictly focused on Hands so I think it would be 1,000 x easier for an mma fighter to switch over. You need to realize there might be less rounds but they are longer and mma fighters 85% of the time exert more energy within that time then a boxer does. Is it easier to get into the mma of course because you have so many fighting styles to choose from and master is it easier then boxing no I don't think so. Physically no way talent wise no as well as durability and stamina and technique mma all around is a way harder sport
No it’s not easier for the mma guy to transition. It’s harder because they are not good punchers( slow hands, not as powerful, poor technique). No defense either. Boxers with fast powerful hands like Tyson could knock out mma fighters easily.
Roger is tripping. MMA fighters have to learn various types of martial arts. I say its hard for both sports.
bigcartoonyIIV no most MMA fighters are boxing rejects
bigcartoonyIIV the learn but don't master the crafts
shid Most MMA figters are black belts in multiple arts. I was looking at UFC 1 and the BJJ fighters were beating the hell out of boxers because they cant fight on the ground. I love both sports, and I respect both fighters skills.
bigcartoonyIIV broch became champ with no experience besides wrestling wont happen in boxing
@@didakeepa most mma fighters are wrestlers
You dont even have to be in shape in boxing... Look at Tyson Fury...
Roger❤❤❤💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
ya boxing is cooler than mma.....all that kicking n sht
Golf is a hard game..
Wwe>boxing!!!
Jk jk lol
MMA IS SUPERIOR TO BOXING ITS TAKES LONG TIME TO TRAIN TO BE A MMA FIGHTER TOO OBVIOUSLY THIS GUY IS GANNA FAVOUR BOXING. ITS MORE DIFFICULT TO BE UNDEAFTED IN MMA THAN BOXING
Boxing is just one form or discipline of fighting. It's just one style.. MMA has wrestling; boxing, jitzu, karate, mui tay. Or simply; striking, wrestling, jujitsu. To say boxing is harder is complete ignorence and prejudice. This is why you have all these boxers now wanting to make name and bank off MMA fighters, making them compete in a boxing match.. its ludicrous on its face MMA boxing is different altogether, because the other striking disciplines and threat of take down... please if your a boxer with name and want real respect from sports world. Stop using jake Paul as your hero and tough guy. Hes not. He picked Ben askren to fight for a reason.. Please step into a fight on 90 days notice with a top 20 MMA fighter and then beat chest.. askren was retired had very little boxing skill. He was giving 90 days.. please return the man up skills. Fake Paul had one of his cheerleaders in yellow shirt talking shit to twood back stage.. here's the challenge. On 90 days notice step into the octagon with twood... especially the Nancy girl wearing the yellow shirt back stage disrespecting tyrone.. get into a real fight,, cage fight, mma, and you have 90 days.. they wont take the challenge..
easy for someone whos never attempted mma to say lel
round in boxing12
3 round in mma
MMA is the dictionary of fighting Boxing is only a single word
Lol
Sorry post my comment with out reading it threw before posting
MMA guy can't switch levels
MMA fighters are real fighters and tougher.Boxing is not.
In a way yes
Boxing is a combat sport
MMA is combat with some rules
All Martial arts are good and hard to Master. Bruce Lee used all that was useful and rejected which was not.
Very true, they all demand immense time and discipline. But in the mainstream, it's way easier to be successful at mma than boxing. I often wonder why more truly elite fighters don't join mma, I'm talking Chinese/Japanese, seriously elite martial artists.. I've been to competitions and seen way higher levels of expertise than I see from most champions on TV.
Lee SOG
Maybe because true Elites dont like to advertise themselves.
Lee SOG I agree, I seen this dude who was a security guard at a college on a UFC ppv as a headliner. That guy had a bunch of ko's with no losses. A guy like that can't even be a tomato can in boxing. He'd get starched by tomato cans. An mma fighter with 18 black belts can get beaten by a guy who wrestled in high school, that's ridiculous. Those belts don't mean jack unless someone hits you the way you've been trained, or else those guys would never lose. Chuck Liddell was starching all these high level martial artists with less than amateur striking skills. Someone I know told me he would beat boxers, because boxing was his specialty. I was thinking what do you think a boxer's specialty is. Didn't argue with them because it would've been useless. MMA fighting is skilled, but you can be decent without 1 superior skill. In boxing the journeyman were golden glove champs. It's a more refined skill set. Very difficult to master. If it wasn't, mma fighters would be making millions destroying boxers, instead of having cauliflower ear and fighting for thousands, and losing to security guards and wrestlers, and guys who just took up the sport because life wasn't working out..
@@Paul.Burrell Exactly
everyone can throw kicks and roll on the ground. GTFOH
Literally anyone can throw a punch lol
