    Since JDS has the best boxing in the UFC, how would he do if he were a pro boxer?

    Very poorly. I actually like Miocic, and Werdums boxing better than his. Those guy's don't do very well though either.

    Agreed.

    Junior is his own biggest fan when it comes to his hands.

    Povetkin, Haye etc would kill him.

    I think his boxing is good by MMA standards, but terrible by actual boxer standards.

    He's semi shot now so it isn't fair judging him on present abilities or what he does in the future. That being said a prime Dos Santos wouldn't have done well in boxing, he does carry big power but he's too easy to hit. We're looking Jimmy Thunder level at best.

    No one he fights will hit him harder than Cain did unless you throw a Wilder or klitchko at him,however he doesnt really reach the top 10 boxers in pro boxing,i believe with the 4 ounce gloves he can easily fight the better boxers,but not much so with the 10 ounce gloves.He would be a fish out of water.

    ? Cain isn't a hard puncher.

    Everyone in the HW and CW division would hit him harder than Cain did.

    Really better go inform fight rec since he has over a 2000 psi on modern punch accuracy"HIIGHEST" ever...and if you really don't think he hits hard go to his gym and hear the sound of gunshot like sounds.He also beat holyfield out on the overhead bag meter.

    And why can't he translate that to MMA?

    Who has he stopped? Zombie Nog? JDS after 4/5 rounds?

    Cain isn't a puncher.

    He has mostly k.os wartch the slow highlite reels of his impact on JDS's face and look at the aftermath.He wasn't trying to k.o JDs he mainly used dirty boxing against the cage to wear him out.

    Im also sure the bloody mess of puddles of red he left in the octagon ,that bigfoot would also disagree with you.:think

    The funny thing is JDS said Cain hits like a girl before the third fight,and well you can see how much he hits like that,wioth JDS looking like the elephant man and battered mercilessly.:lol:

    :rofl

    You MMA fanboys will believe anything. No human being is capable of punching anywhere near 2000lbs psi and if some sports "science" TV show claims that someone has then they are lying. Put it this way, if that figure is true then a 18ft, 1.5 ton Great White shark only bites twice hard as what Cain Velasquez can punch.:lol:

    Bigfoot has one of the worst chins in the HW division, almost anyone is capable of taking him out. So that's not really saying much.

    That's Cain's style - He's like a HW GSP.

    Bigfoot got broke down with that elbow.

    If Cain is a monster puncher, why did it take him 20 minutes to get Junior out of there? Cain isn't a puncher.

    Junior, Hunt, Arlovski and even Nelson are the punchers of that division.

    He really hasn't.

    Hunt, who hits like truck, couldn't get him out of there (though Bigfoot was TRT'ed out of his mind! :lol::lol:).

    His chin is durable, man. Very durable.
