while boxers are very obviously not in their game in mma, this does prove that boxers CAN have some success in mma. most people seem to think any boxer vs. any mma figher=mma fighter wins. which simply is not true.
-Tim Sylvia was top ten ranked in mma when Mercer KOed him
-Lytle, while not the cream of the crop, has always held his own against the top MMA fighters, and never been KOed or Submitted in mma, although he lost via cut stoppage before I think.
-Marcus Davis is similiar to Lytle, and both of them regularly get the 'Fight of the Night' on UFC cards.
-I dont know anything about Jeremy Williams, but his competition is probably bullcrap
-Butterbean beat James Thompson, who did have that one win over Yoshida, didnt he? not too bad, better than anything he did in boxing. his win over Zuluzinho guy was pretty hilarious, and supposedly that guy had a purple belt in Jiu Jitsu and was undefeated in Brazil for a while. but I have a hard time believing that.
I think its obvious and clear that boxers should stick to their own sport, instead of going into mma. itd be just a waste of their talent, wouldnt it? but they can have some success, with good strategy and some takedown defense.
