    I was watching the Jones fight... I know it lasted less than a minute... but I saw his bare jaw. I feel like a boxer with a lot of precision and punch like Wilder could put him to sleep... and I think the jab is useful in this type of fight. .. it all depends on who manages to start first if the
    An mma fighter knocks you down, it's over if the boxer hits the mma fighter first, it's over too... what do you think?

    The MMA guy would shoot for a single or double leg take down on the boxer then it's lights out.

    Mercer wrecked Sylvia in about 10 seconds about 15 years ago.

    They could get pretty far. A lot of ufc fighters come from a stand up background and just add in a bit of ground game to it. An elite boxer would be dangerous in 4oz gloves.

    It has gone and sometimes goes either way, but the guy who is trained to do more generally has the advantage.

    It will be interesting to see if Fury ever does have an MMA match because he has apparently trained to block the kicks and take-downs.

    MMA guy takes boxer down and wins like 9 times out of 10. Occasionally the boxer gets a good shot in really early and wins.

    Boxers always need additional wrinkles to their game when moving to MMA, or else they risk a quick loss. That being said, the precision and angles of a boxer are always frighteningly dangerous.

    An MMA fighter has no chance against an experienced and skilled boxer, in my opinion.

    And then you have Adesanya vs Perrera where both guys stuck to their strengths and never developed a ground game.

    MMA fighting distance is a bit different from boxing. And now a days a standard boxing stance will leave you open of calf kicks. Any decent boxer that takes MMA seriously will have success in it. Just like MMA guys who were striking oriented have found success outside of MMA.

    In mma the mma guy wins 95% of the time.

    In boxing the boxer wins 95% of the time.

    In a street fight whichever individual is willing to go furthest to win...I.e. fighting dirty as hell will win.

    That's it. That's the end of it.

    The amount of people who think the boxer would win is embarrassing.

    Why? It’s happened before. Holly Holm was a boxer. Ricardo Mayorga won in mma. Lou Savarese won in mma. Mercer beat Sylvia. What part is so embarrassing?
