To name a few that could even destroy some heavyweights.Most of these wrestlers are Japanese and after having succesful pro wrestling careers,they switch to MMA and start to kick some.
If you don't believe me,I'll throw some names so if you are interested you can research about them.

Everyone has their strengths... too many people think a good fighter can beat a good boxer in a boxing match. Not true. The best martial artists in the world could not match a champion boxer when fighting under boxing's ruleset. Just like a boxer fighting in a mixed martial arts match, he'd get destroyed. If these Japanese wrestlers you rave about were that good at "boxing" then they'd be doing it because there's loads of money there to be had.

I was just about to say the same thing.

Exactly

The Wrestler or MMA fighter will alwys beat the boxer in MMA rules

however

If you put the Wrestler or MMA fighter in with a Boxer under Boxing rules the MMA fighter will leave on a stretcher.

and it will always be like that.

so i guess its hard to tell who is really the best fighter in the world.

Too true, if you play anyone at their own game in their own yard you can expect to get beaten. The wrestler Big Show would be able to wrestle Tyson to the ground but put them in the ring and Tyson would knock his 7 foot 2 inch body out. :cool:

not so sure that all mma fighters would lose in a boxing match...

ive seen guys kod with jabs so a punch from a hardcore mma fighter should do more than enough damage

Well you have to match skill relative to their fight style. You can't put a champion mixed martial artist against a tomato can boxer and expect a fair fight. But the best of the best in each discipline will be determined by the ruleset. As far as Yoko's comment about the best "fighter" in the world I have to say it's still possible to get an idea from the UFC type fights with very few rule limitations. They need to be ready for anything and be able to do what it takes, shady or not, a boxer needs to break when a ref says, has specific targets to aim for and only needs to be prepared to be hit in these areas as well. For a better idea, a street fight with no weapons would be the ultimate test but the best fighters in the world would never do that. :D

What's with the stupid comment? Several here have made serious comments about the subject.Just because one or two of you don't know squat about MMA that does not make this topic strange.

Have you seen Vitor Belfort fight?? He is one of the fastest punchers I've ever seen in my life.He is an MMA fighter but was seriously thinking about becoming a pro boxer.

One need to look no farther than WWF's failed "Brawl for All" competition, where "toughman" Bart Gunn, after winning a boxing tournament, went head-to-head with Butterbean - and didn't last 2 minutes - at Wrestlemania a few years back.

I urge you to see several Vitor Belfort fights.There you will see a truly talented MMA fighter with all the potential in the world to be a great pro boxer.His speed was unbelievable.

Takada is a fantastic fighter. I used to watch a show called BUSHIDO, i loved that sport. I just found out that Gary Albright died back in 2000. ****! He was this giant american who beat and was beaten by Takada.
I must try to get hold of some of those fights. Thanks for jogging my memory.
Personally, i think Takadas long leg kicks would easily disable most boxers who need their stance to get off any punches.

You're welcome.It's good to find someone who recognizes a good fighter outside of the boxing world.

I had this exact same argument with one of my friends who is a complete idiot. And here you go, a boxing fan, making a thread like this.

If you don't like the topic stay off.It's as simple as that,kid.

Besides,the reason why I started this topic was to let some guys here now that there are great pro wrestlers in the world.Maybe they could find their fights interesting.I couldn't care less about stupid arguments or offended "boxing only" fans.

Well that's another issue all together. If you say check out these great fighters that would have been ok with me, but saying they would beat any top ranked boxer in a boxing match with boxing rules is just insane.

I never wrote anything about boxing rules.Someone else did.Check my original post and you will no find anything about rules.
Neither did I write any top ranked boxers.

Alright well you should have told the person who I read that from that that wasn't the point of the thread.

Nah,I let anyone write what they want.If I don't care about it,I just keep on with the original topic and ignore the rest.

problem is allways the rules.But completely without rules,Tyson is last man I want to fight with.

i think the whole thing about rules isnt really the issue. In a no holds barred fight, u do wat u know best, a boxer would punch and a wrestler would take u down.
If a wrestler fought a boxer according to the rules of boxing, the wrestler wouldnt be allowed to wrestle...therefore he WOULDNT be a wrestler right?

I have seen plenty of Vito Belfort fights. His hands are fast alright, but he is by no means a technically sound boxer. His boxing rep has been shamelessy built up in Brazil. He was by no means the boxer he or his camp have said he is. They claimed he was an Olympic hopefull and he never claim close to sniffing the Olympics.

I like MMA, but like I said if you take a guy out of his elament he doesn't have a chance.

most wrestlers take steriods or HGH but a wrestle could be a boxer maybe but not a puncher
