    Put on the gloves and show REAL skill. Throw proper punches, put your guard up, duck, etc!
    I'll have to respectfully disagree with you there.

    Most fights go to the ground anyways.. but even to take your own postulate further...

    Is it truly 'real skill' if you can't use your feet? What constitutes 'real' fighting, I wonder? Where would you draw the line, I mean.

    Right, but what makes one preferable to the other? Especially since boxing is even more tightly controlled.. perhaps there's a lot of specific skill involved, but you can't say that it's 'real' fighting. If by 'real' you mean 'realistic'.

    We're basically agreed; let's not quibble over semantics.
