UFC fighters vs. Boxers : Who wins?

there are absolutely no elite boxers in any major mma organization, an elite boxer with talent has no interest in fighting in a cage like a human cockfighter against glorified bums, an elite boxer can make more money if he is a contender ranked in the top 10 of any of the major boxing organizations,

the only mma fighters you see with boxing amongst there skill set were bum boxers, tomato cans who knew they couldn't make it big as pro but could do well in mma throwing looping overhand rights because you always have a punchers chance in mma because your opponent always comes out with a weird defense with their hands right out away from their chin..

 

Are you seriously bringing up Mercer? A guy in his mid 40's who showed up to collect a paycheque, had no intention of winning and has a history of being involved in "sketchy" fights?

Not to mention, the Kimbo fight he fought in was an "exhibition" and not a recorded MMA bout. Why? Because Mercer showed up to box. Kimbo said he'd trade, Mercer said he'd trade.

I mean lets be honest here, people need to use common sense. It was a god damn "exhibition" match. How many legitimate fights are considered "exhibition?"

The only time Mercer showed up to fight, he KO'd a top 10 MMA'er in 10 seconds.

 

Exactly

 

Are you stupid?

There have actually been no legitimate boxers who have stepped into K-1. Botha was past his prime, never defeated a top 10 in boxing and yet went into K-1 and competed with some of the sports best, PAST HIS PRIME.

Mercer as mentioned earlier shouldnt even be mentioned. The guy was in his mid 40's and just like Botha showed up to collect nice paycheques which they would no longer get in boxing.

Vince Phillips fought a guy in Masato who is significantly bigger than him and Phillips has a history of drug use.

A prime elite fighter in boxing goes into K-1 and lays an absolutely beatdown on K-1's best. K-1 is a criminal organization with a horribly thin talent pool.

Why do people think kicks are a boxers kryptonite? Didnt Mercer just eat a low kick from a 310lb former UFC champion and than proceed to KO him seconds later? Dont wrestlers, BJJ practitioners go into MMA and take kicks just fine without collapsing like a bloody mess? If grapplers can do it, you bet your ass boxers can take it.

And shutup about street fights, you sound ******ed. If MMA proved who the best "FIGHTER" was than Tito Ortiz wouldnt have got lit up like a christmas tree by Lee Murray in a REAL FIGHT. In MMA, Ortiz beats the middleweight Murray 10 out of 10 times and yet in a REAL FIGHT, Murray used BOXING to beat Ortiz. Yeah, ONLY PUNCHING.

And, punches are the easiest and most efficient way of damaging someone. The majority of KO's come as a result of punches not kicks.

 

Terrible logic.

You do know that they almost always clinched up after a barrage of punches. I'm thinking, not one MMA fighter could take a barrage of punches from either a prime Lewis and Mercer and live to tell about it let alone work in the clinch.

 

spot on!

 

I don't think Ortiz beats Murray 10 times out of 10.

 

Another one of these... boxers beat MMA fighters at boxing. in MMA, anyone has a puncher's chance but its more likely that the boxer will be submitted. In a street fight, if anything is legal who knows?

 

You should do some MMA and maybe Dana White will sign you, unless you're an elite boxer.

 

some dude must have thrown you down and had his way with you....
maybe you should take some women's defense classes....

 

Here's my 2 cents:

In a boxing match with boxing rules, I'd put my money on the boxer to win the fight vs any other kind of fighter, for obvious reasons.

In a match with kickboxing rules, I'd put my money on the boxer if it's between a boxer vs mma fighter. But if it's between a boxer vs kickboxer, I can see it going either way. The winner of that match will generally be the better prepared, more physically fit fighter.

In a kickboxing match with muay thai rules, it'd be a really tough call but I'd put my money on the thai boxer.

In an mma fight with mma rules, I'd put my money on the mma fighter vs any other fighter.

On the street, who knows. There's too many variables, but all things being equal, I'd probably put my money on the mma fighter based on the fact that they'd have more options.

 

He did sign Lesnar, but I dont think Haymaker was jumping off turnbuckles and giving people sharpshooters, so I doubt he can generate the PPV buys Lesnar can.

 

I think the majority of the time the boxer will win with boxing rules and the mma fighter wins with mma rules as many have established...but i think boxers have a good shot at being untouchable at the mma game if they can show some take down defense. Look at chuck liddell. He dominated mma by basically boxing. And he didnt lose until someone just came and "outboxed" him or for a better use of words knocked him the hell out. He wasnt submitted or grouded out he was ko'd boxing style. On the other hand I dont see a mma fighter having any success as a B level boxer let alone being a champion.

 

a boxer will always have a high punchers chance. but mma fighter would win most of the time. However, i think boxers are more prepared to take on multiple attackers in a brawl then a mma'er who leave his chin exposed frequently.

 

Agree with this totally.
