remember that mma fighters have to be skilled in boxing, kickboxing,  
juijitsu, grappling, wrestling etc, meanwhile boxers only concentrate on  
one thing BOXING. mma fighter versus a boxer in boxing is suicide.

get MURDERED because all MMA fighters suck $$ in the fundamentals of  
boxing they always throw punches slow & wide & dnt put their body properly  
into those punches. a boxer has a better chance in an octagon cause they  
could try & make it into a toe to toe fight.. but MMA fighter CAN NOT take  
some1 down in a boxing ring, therefore they are F*%#!  
 
in the end.. Boxing is a superior sport PERIOD!!!!!!

Its completely different rules, if the fights were held in a boxing ring,  
not one of the UFC fighters would make it would of the first round - even  
Silva.  
 
You couldn't even make these types of matchups in their respective sports  
- they don't let a guy who has never fought take on a world champion, it  
would almost be criminal.

All i can say about MMA fighters is, they mostly don't only depend on  
their punches or boxing skills to win. They highly depend on the  
submission skills BJJ etc.  
Also, when they fight, they don't only punch, but they throw kicks &  
elbows as well.  
 
So hence, they don't spend enough time, perfecting their boxing skills  
unlike Boxers. Who is supposed to ONLY use punches in Boxing.

Seriously, boxers are underestimated simply because we only see one side  
of their skill. There is nothing in what we see in the boxing ring that  
would mean that the boxer is incapable of learning MMA.  
 
BTW, why didn't you include Manny Pacquiao & Fyodor Emelianenko? Not  
against each other, of course, but their absense is curious.

against kickboxers & against mixed martial artist  
 
i saw one guy, he wasnt a big deal in boxing, he was on the olympic team &  
he fought a kick boxer.they had to carry him out of the ring because his  
legs were so injured, bloody & beaten..  
 
and i know thats wierd, & im not even talking about them fighting the  
submission guyes, im mean the boxers are great & hand striking, better  
than the mixed martial artist hands down.but if they fought in the  
octagon, it would get nasty for the boxers.NASTY i would be concerned for  
there health  
 
so all of the mma guyes you listed would have my bet, no doubt about that,  
the boxers do have a snow balls chance in hell, but im sorry man mma takes  
this one hands down  
 
oh yea & too you boxing fans that say a mixed martial artist couldnt hold  
up in the ring.you are probably rite but the question was what would  
happen in the octagon.the boxer has little or no chance at all, even in  
stand up or the clinch, & lets no even consider the ground, that would  
just be a bad thing  
 
to that rag guy, you are 100 precent rite a boxer xould definitly do mma  
with a year or two of training, but saying that guyes from the WWE could  
come to the ufc & do good is soo worng, the only reason why lesnar can is  
because he was a NCAA wrestling champ back in college, & he has a great  
reach, & outstanding athletic ability..but most of those guyes just look  
like that because of steriods & wouldnt have a chance in the octagon  
against an even decent mixed martial artist, like if the guyes from the  
WWE even tried boxing wouldnt have a chance because boxers train there  
entire live to fight in one element of fighting in the stand up area  
(without the use of there legs in striking like a mixed martail artist), &  
against that big sterioded beach muscle the boxer would tear them up like  
the mixed martial artist would, but in mma who knows how they would loose  
because its not a one deminsional sport, brock lesnar is just gifted, not  
just anyone from the WWE, boxing or the street could just jump into the  
cage after some training & dominate like lesnar has  
 
and to that brooklyn dude, saying that a mixed martial artist doesnt  
counter in striking just shows you have no idea what the hell you are  
taliking about, & ur ignorance to the future of fighting sports.maywether,  
de la hoya these are names any fighter knows because they are the last  
ligit forces in boxing, & the bad news for you is that ur dying sport wont  
have any new names, because the ametures are learning greco roman  
wrestlign, muai thai, abd bjj to get into the mma world( go ahead ask  
around, ask the younger guyes). boxing is just an element of mma, like ju  
jitsu or wrestling.if a mixed martial artsit wrestled a NCAA curent  
college champion, he would probably loose, but in the cage the wrestler in  
most cases doesnt have a chance. & thats why you wont find a boxer boxing a  
mixed martial artist too often, the boxer would win, there is no question,  
unless the mixed martial artist got his start in boxing, then it mite be a  
better fight.  
 
its like you are trying to ignore his question, he said in the cage, the  
boxer has no chance.no chance, if he cant use his legs, how is he going to  
counter a few leg kicks,(trust me its a painful thing if you havent trained  
with it for a few years) & then keep his hands up enough not to give an  
opening somwhere else? eccspecially when he has to battle with a guy that  
knows how to use his shins, knees, elbows better than him, notice how i  
didnt say fist, but a good mixed martail artist can still find a way.plus  
when he finds an opening, & look there where i said when he finds an  
opening, how is he going to stop all of that pluss a guy who can wrestle &  
use standing,clinch, & ground submissions, IN THE CAGE (or the street) THE  
BOXER HAS LITTLE OR NO CHANCE.  
 
and just dont try to make it sound like ur sport is so much more advanced,  
its not, mma evolves every day, everytime the pace changes everytime a  
style is manipulated for the better of the sport, every time something is  
shown more effective the entire sport eveolves, so yea if you are like 50+  
years old stick to ur boxing, the youth will bring in the new era of  
fighting & combat sports
