Which Boxers today do you feel would do well in UFC?! No rules. Just flat outt beating the **** out of each other!! How well would a boxing technician like floyd fare? or would an all out warrior like katsidis do better? Would speed or power be more effective? What are your thoughts?
Probably Tua. Hard to imagine anybody taking that little cinder block down... and one clean left hook from Tua with those itty bitty gloves and his opponent is ****ing dead! :dead
Kermit Cintron would probably do the best, he has wrestling experience if I remember correctly. As for Mayweather, he's a gym rat and dedicated, a year or so learning some other fighting techniques and he would be a force.
If they're using just they're boxing technique then none of them. Few might win from a flash KO, or if they're pitted against a striking based opponent (whose base is boxing), but other then that, they're going to lose badly and quickly. Now, if they take the time and energy to train in other disciplines then they might doing okay, depending on the amount of time dedicated. But then again, that would transform them from boxers to mixed martial artists which would kind of defeat the purpose of this thread in a sense.
cintron would do well he has wrestling experience, vitali maybe he used to be a kickboxer, same with pacquiao he used to do muay thai, I honestly dont think floyd would do too well, his style isn't suited to MMA, guys like hatton and pacquiao would do better imo
Tomas Adamek has a warrior mentality.Fighting at 205 with good coaches training him and fighting some lower level opposition initially he might do ok after a couple of years in the sport.
Vitali, Wlad, Hatton all have kick boxing backgrounds so they should be able to sharpen up and move onto grappling quite quick. Haye says he already trains with MMA and did Karate when he was younger. Jeremy Williams had the black belt in Judo and I wanted to see more of him but he faded away. Kermit Cintron has heavy hands and a wrestling background. I think there is a few guys who could do it.
