    UFC fighters do not have boxer's defense...because they worry about kicks, etc as well.....

    Exactly. They also have to worry about takedown attempts, which JDS did a great job against Velasquez.

    Junior has skills. He has all the punches where as heavyweights in boxing don't. He effortlessly goes to the body immediately. Lovely footwork where he is continously trying to establish his range. Starts with a jab to get his timing for bigger shots. Keeps his hands a touch low to draw the fighter in. Awesome power. Lovely speed.

    Junior is one to watch. Probably the best heavyweight boxer in mma and maybe even top 5 or higher p4p.

    I have no doubt he's a good MMA fighter but this thread is about his boxing ability, I care not of his kick defence

    If he spent two years training only boxing he could probably become a serious contender. The heavyweight division in boxing is horrible.

    No. The HW division is weak but don't overstate it.

    Dos Santos is a GREAT MMA fighter. NOT a boxer.

    He could beat Chris Arreola

    More speed, more powerful than chris. Arreolas defense is blocking punches with his face. Arreolas boxing skills suck
