    Who wins?

    To give you a preview, in the UFC I saw last night, a jujitsu fight named Royce Gracie put his opponents (a boxer and a karate/kick fighter) into submission to win the championship.

    What is this?
    2 different sports.

    If your talking about a street fight?
    I'd say whoever lands first probably.

    Step your game up if you just came up on Royce tho...lol
    Danm! about more than decade late...

    who ever lands a clean shot will be the winner but I like the stamina of a boxer.

    You saw what happened in the Mercer vs Sylvia fight right ?
    Or what happened in the Mercer vs Kimbo fight...

    it should answer this question...

    Obviously if the mma fighter is dumb enough to play a boxer's own game....no matter the rules , he'll get ****ed.

    But if the mma fighter takes advantage of what he does best....a boxer is ****ed... And you don't even need a top mma fighter to get the job done...even a bum can do it...

    The irony is that Sylvia was actually ranked...and still got owned...but the poor guy was dumb as ****. He could've played a safe game and take the damn guy on the ground , hell even just lay and pray...but noooo.

    Can you believe this **** ? even kimbo ****ing slice did it...KIMBO for **** sake.

    There's no definitive answer. Both fighters have a shot. However if you put 10 elite boxers in with 10 elite UFC guys, I would favor the boxer the majority of the fights.

    it depends on the rules. in a street fight. 100% elite ufc fighter. boxer only have 1 weapon. one thing is for sure. An elite kick boxer will destroy the best boxer in the world. Many many boxers have try to transition to k-1 and not get anywhere.

    a ufc fighter has everything the boxer has plus much much more. Do u realize how easy it is to take a boxer to the ground. He can't do anything there. A boxer his hands and nothing else. Its like bringing a pocket knife to a sword fight.

    In a boxing match an elite boxer wins
    In a MMA match an elite MMA fighter wins
    In Tennis match the elite MMA guy wins because he's better at tennis

    You keep saying a boxer only has one weapon, but thats all you need. A person with one gun can kill a person who has 2 or 3 guns if he's a better marksman. Boxers have one form of attack yes, but they are sharp, fast accurate and precise with it. MMA guys train in more forms of combat, but they aren'teven close to being Masters of any of them and as such there movements are sloppy. An elite boxer can easily destroy a kickboxer or an MMA guy. Look at chuck liddell. here's a guy who dominated for years throwing slow looping punches. MMA is light years behind.

    Hardly.

    Royce Gracie was one of the top BJJ guys in the world, and he beat a no mark journeyman boxer...hardly proves BJJ was better than boxing to me

    Had he beaten Roy Jones Jr (the p4p best boxer at the time and who was a similar weight) then i could agree with you.

    Just to add, no elite boxer has ever competed in MMA...and they never will because they can make a **** load more money boxing than the comparative peanuts the UFC would pay them.

    So this argument will never be resolved

    Wrong.

    MMA fighters are MOST OF THE TIME not elite boxers. True. They are very often elite grapplers, Mui Thai fighters, etc.
    Boxer can beat an MMA guy in MMA fight if they both choose to stand and trade. This comes with MMA guy being pretty dumb. Same way a boxer/striker wouldn't try to take a grappler down(unless he's Cheik Kongo).

    Put it this way. I'd pick Jones to beat GSP in a boxing match, and I'd pick GSP to destroy Jones in an MMA fight.

    Then how come any boxer who comes into k-1 gets nowhere. There are currently boxers in k-1 and they can't win ****. How often do you see boxer come in body contact with each other during a fight??? Pretty often almost all the time. You can't avoid body contact in a fight. Once that happens the mma fighter wins.

    Here is a good example for u. A boxer doesn't even know how to defend against knees, high kicks, low kicks. Do you know that the most powerful blow a human can deliver is a knee and not a punch.

    Knees>punches
    legs>punches of any kind

    This show u that a boxer doesn't know how to defend against leg kicks, knees, etc. elbows if it were allowed

    You're putting the best BJJ guy Royce Gracie up against some average boxer who is trained in karate,

    just because it says a guy has trained in boxing, doesn't mean he is an elite boxer.. This guy who has trained or competed in boxing could of been an absolute bum boxer, a fcking tomato can, all of a sudden he competes in mma and they puts his bio up and it says he is trained in karate, kickboxing and boxing
