Boxing Vs UFC debate

I have seen a couple of these UFC fights and come to the following conclusions; see what you lot think;

UFC

1. More brutal, fights mean fights, none of these modern big money don't hit me fights that is ruining boxing - Taylor Vs Spinks !!!!

2. Better match ups

3. More pride to be the champion as oppose to just making the most money

Boxing

1. A lot more skill is involved I admit the best boxers would destroy UFC fighters

2. Heritage and history ( which is being destroyed by PPV and money emphasis fights)

Boxing is still well ahead of UFC but big money don't hit me fights, boxers who are only bothered about making money and the loss of great warriors like Morales, Corrales wait these are all mexicans its the americans that are ruining boxing.

See what you think

where did you get the schedule from? this is pretty impressive. good to see obviouslt Olusegun/Munyai on the same bill again, some welterweight coverage (Margarito-Williams, Cintron-Matthysse) and more German fights (Berrio-Haussler, Asikainen-Sylvester). some top fights missing, but sky can't do it all.

More skill in boxing? not sure about that. I think there is a high level of skill involved in both Boxing and UFC - to be fair. UFC should gain momentum when the Pride fighters join / cross over too.

Some great boxing matches coming up, dont know enough about UFC to comment on whats upcoming, but that Sky Schedule looks good. As for Judah Cotto, dissapointing if we dont get it, but we cant have everything.
