    None. Just like most MMA fighters.

    A low level boxer would starch this guy early. Just like ancient Ray Mercer did to Tim Silvia! :rofl :rofl

    None of those men can box. Most have powerful punches and Fedor and Cro Cop are a level up due to background but as has been said of boxers jumping in to MMA, they wouldn't have a chance at just jumping across at anything like the same level and being able to compete. Were they to switch at a younger age then perhaps most of them would have been able to get to a decent level.
    I do always wonder though, why men who believe that they can box, don't box. The money is so much higher it doesn't make sense to me.

    Maybe because the love martial arts so much. Also, with Cro Cop's KickBoxing background he could have been a big deal in Boxing back in the day.

    Lesnar was a college wrestler though. Anyway if Silva trained hard enough and decided to get in a few years back I think he could dominate.

    Yup. His chin is pure glass, just like most of these MMA fighters.

    Against any boxer most of them would get their fragile mandibles shattered just as badly as Tim Silvia's did by an ancient Ray Mercer.:yep

    This is a joke right? Cro Cops body is not conditioned for boxing, too bulky. At least Anderson had a boxing body but just no ability to throw boxing punches or have the necessary whiskers for a boxer.
