Comparing swimming to basketball lol

Argumentum ad absurdum

Boxing is relevant and able to be compared to MMA. Swimming in relation to basketball, is not relevant. Very poor analogies...
Yes, boxing is part of martial arts (and one could reasonably argue, yes 1/4 of MMA), but I was showing you what happens if your comparison is allowed to slide down your slippery slope. Boxing vs. MMA is already half way down. YOU SET YOURSELF UP FOR IT.

How is this for an analogy... saying a boxer would get schooled by an MMA fighter is like saying a jockey or equestrian would get messed up in a polo match. Boxing and MMA are completely different. Everyone knows this... why create a fake conflict? The only tools creating fake conflicts are those with vested interests in the one they promote. Both can exist in harmony or complete seclusion. Why care friend? Get beat up by a boxer? Or are you a new recruit to the sherdog.com forums?
