UFC welterweight Joaquin Buckley has acquired help from Daniel Cormier within the ongoing UFC vs. boxing debate.
Not too long ago, Joaquin Buckley has been in a disagreement with the likes of Shakur Stevenson and Terrence Crawford over the standard of UFC in comparison with skilled boxing. Everyone knows that Buckley is an individual who likes to talk his thoughts, however he does not cover how he feels about his perspective.
Contained in the cage, Joaquin Buckley is again on his ft after shedding to Kamaru Usman. Nonetheless, given the talents he has at his disposal, I am unable to think about will probably be that lengthy earlier than he begins his journey again up the rankings.
In a latest video, Daniel Cormier defined why he agrees with Joaquin Buckley on this method.
Daniel Cormier helps Joaquin Buckley
“Shakur Stevenson mentioned the UFC might by no means be boxing, and Joaquin Buckley was proper,” Cormier mentioned on his YouTube channel. “It does not should be boxing, as a result of the truth is we do not have massive fights like prior to now. I need to be the boxing of the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s. If you are going to be boxing, you need to be the boxing of that period, that period. Boxing at this time is not essentially what I wished it to be and what boxing was prior to now, as a result of there aren’t sufficient stars to do the massive fights.”
“There isn’t any occasion as massive as going again to the times when[Muhammad]Ali was combating, when[Mike]Tyson was combating, or while you had the ‘Massive 4’ and so they have been all combating one another. Even when Lennox Lewis was the heavyweight champion, even the Klitschko brothers. It was completely different again then. That battle received extra consideration and we felt like we have been greater.”
“I spotted at this time that when Canelo fought Terrence Crawford, it felt like a giant deal,” Cormier mentioned. Truthfully, once I’m so enthusiastic about boxing fights, till a younger, thrilling up-and-coming fighter comes on the market and tries to knock individuals out like fighters of the previous, we’ll get a battle the place Terrence Crawford as soon as once more reveals why he is the most effective and simply managed Canelo Alvarez, the largest star of this technology. And it is not that enjoyable. Truthfully. Nonetheless, it wasn’t very attention-grabbing.
“Whereas while you go to the UFC, it is extra enjoyable, extra thrilling, even higher. And Joaquin Buckley was proper. It is simply good. And I like boxing. I’ve nice pals in boxing. Andre Ward is my nice good friend in boxing. I like watching him battle, however boxing at this time is nothing like boxing earlier than. And hats off to Joaquin Buckley for calling it crap, as a result of we’re not boxing, truthfully.”
