MMA fighters have to learn more skills than boxers. Boxing is only a small part of mma. Boxing is also limited to the use of 2 limbs, which are restricted to striking the waste up, and holding isn't allowed. This is going to call for sport specific talent. BJJ revolutionized the combat world nearly 20 years ago. To be the best at BJJ requieres it's own set of sport specific talent. BJJ doesn't always get it done for mma fighters on it's own. Roger Gracie is the best bjj practitioner in the world. How well did Roger do the other night? The same can be said for wrestling. The same can be said for Thai Boxing. The same can be said for Judo. In terms of the gloves, and the effect gloves have on punches, it basically boils down to the padding. The harder the object, the more damage it does. Why do you think what Margarito did with the plaster is a problem? It made his hands harder. If the knuckles are more prevalent with mma gloves, then that means mma gloves allow for more damage.
