Who do you think will win in a street brawl?
An MMA fighter would probably takeout the boxer, but not in a confined situation.
The boxer can actually take the fight, with a mentality to not think he's fighting a 10 rounder, but stepping in immediatley with his fav combinations and throwing that power shot. Lights Out !!!
But in the end, it's the prowess of the individual. A good percentage of MMA fighters ain't got real martial arts skills, except to brawl. Which actually embarrasses the real martial arts practitioners.
I saw an MMA fighter one time challenge a boxer in the same gym, the boxer said he didn't know how to wrestle. So the MMA guy said "fuck it then man, let's just do strikes, stand up, fists only." The boxer started laughing then said "only we can use those little gloves you guys wear."
Oh man, that MMA guy didn't know when to quit, the only reason it was stopped after about 4 minutes was because 2 of the MMA's teeth got knocked out and it was pretty bloody everywhere from his nose and mouth. The boxer had a couple of red spots on his face, and that was it.
i was a boxer in the army and got into a street fight with a wrestler/fighter, who thought he was in a gang and tough stuff. but with me in a stance and boxing him instead of the usual balls to the wall street stuff, he was confused and didn't know what was going on, if he should box or what, so he stood there and got rocked and it was lights out very quickly. i understand this wasn't anything even close to pro athletes, but it's one for the boxers!
Some people are just delusional.
You know what Oscar De La Hoya said? He said he's never had a streetfight his entire life. Every fight he's had was in the ring and done according to boxing rules.
You're crazy if you think he could survive five minutes on the street against Shogun Rua.
Simply crazy. He'll get kneed in the face, then put in a chokehold.

This is kinda rediculous. Two different schools , 2 sets of rules, 2 kinds of fighter, each would the other in their own ring. Its kinda like who's the better guitarist, Jimmy Page or Eddie Van Halen...they are both awesome

if my mma you mean the whole brazillian jiujutsu/ thai boxing mix
then the mmaer would only need to take the boxer to ground to win
the boxer would have to knock him out first which wouldn't be easy
In a streetfight you'd have to favor an mma guy. Face it, the pure standup in a streetfight almost always goes out the window with two guys just winging at each other. You'd have to favor an mma guy because...
Like 90% of most streetfights usually end up with two guys grabbing on each other and wrestling around. Obviously someone with more wrestling, ju-jitsu, muay thai, and/or judo knowledge has the upper hand in the clich or on the ground.
Depends on the individual. Most MMAer's are pretty crappy. I'm talking about the thousands of people in gyms all over America, not the guys you see on K-1, the UKC, Pride, etc. They are falling into the "traditonal" mode, where most people think they can learn a few "tricks" and beat the world. So whoever does more actual fighting is probably the winner.
a huge percentage of guys that have fought MMA can't strike for shit. will you admit that? when they go against a silva, liddel, cro-cop or a hunt in MMA they get wrecked due to superior striking. will you admit that?
wand vs hunt. sure wand could take him down, but he chose to stand with him since he's such a tough guy. what if hunt happened to be lennox lewis?
you guys act like MMA fighters equal 1 and boxers equal 1/5th. NO. NO. NO. MMA fighters equal 1 and boxers equal 1. and most of the time the mma fighters' low kicks and thai clinches and shoots and submissions wont even enter the equation in a street brawl. i've been in my share of fights and i used to be an MMA nuthugger. yes the rich franklins and the arlovski's have more skills.. but that doesnt mean arlovski would last 10 seconds in a fight with someone he didnt know that happened to be lennox lewis or lamon brewster..
boxers use their hands only, even in a street fighting mentality.
MMAers use every part of their body as a weapon.
a MMA fighter would definatly beat a boxer in a street fight.
im a boxer. i've watched mma and i've grappled with cage fighters.. i know how to armbar you from the guard.. but i'm still a boxer. how do you know b-hop wouldnt knee you in the nuts, elbow you in the face, and headbutt you? you don't know what any of these guys know about fighting in the street. to me, it's talent as a fighter. how much did cro-cop know about grappling?? NOTHING. and he has the best sprawl in MMA. :confused:
Yeah, I have to disagree man.
Chuck Lidell's sprawl is ten times better than Mirko's.......and I don't understand why you'd imply Mirko has no grappling experience. He was a counter terrorist mercenary, and was trained in different martial arts forms, and was a gifted high school athlete.

No doubt Sapp is a physical specimen, but from what Ive seen all he throws is clubs. A much smaller guy knocked his ass down twice in the 1st round with short counter punches. Any one of the top 10 heavyweight boxers right now would knock him out. Boxers would easilly be able to counter those clubs he throws.

are you thinking that martial arts is the kung fu and karate stuff because that is very incorrect
and the MMAer has more skills than a boxer, an MMAer can punch grapple wrestle and do all that and a boxers skills are limited with their hand

Get a boxer whos been training 2 years vs a muay thai whos done 2 year or MMA and boxer looses.
Its pretty simple logic. Picture it this way, if Danny Williams vs Vitali were to happen again, this time Danny can grab, danny would easily win despite Vitali being a much better boxer. Skelton, not the best out there but well known enough, he got owned by an MMA'er. Thats because its much harder to KO someone instantly ala TuavsRuiz whilst 90% of them time, grappler vs striker ends up on ground almost immediately, soon as its on ground its over.
Ali vs Inoniki was a draw. Ali = greatest boxer, Inoniki was an old overweight wrestler, undeveloped in MMA way. Now Imagine Inoniki had decent enough striking defense so that he oculd block a few punches or walk through 1-2 and then grab ali. Also these days an MMA'er would simply charge down to the leg and get a takedown, over.
In the streets vs normal people, id take PBF to beat up 5 people. Id have a hard time picking a grappler over 3, you cant do much when your on the ground grappling someone whilst being kicked in the head.
BTW Im a boxer, recently sparred some muay thai guys, they whooped my ass. I could outbox any of them but when legs are involved you just get lost in what naturally comes to you.
Hopkins, because he never "compromised in prison" (seriously, think about that. What's harder to avoid: a rear naked choke or getting raped in the pooper).
