    Out of 10 how would you rate these MMA fighters in terms of their boxing skills? Who would translate to boxing better if they never did MMA? Also if they all fought at their primes in a boxing match who would come out the best?

    Stipe Miocic
    Francis Ngannou
    Derrick Lewis
    Alistair Overeem
    Junior Dos Santos
    Fedor Emelianenko
    Cain Velasquez
    Sergei Kharitonov

    Ngannou`s hooks are crappy but have a devastating effect, he set up his KO over Stipe very well, and Stipe displayed no boxing savvy in that loss.

    Who would your money be on between Ngannou now or the Stipe pre 2019 in a boxing match?

    I dont rate any very high to be honest. Hard to separate one from another.
