After watching the fight with Andrei "The Pitbull Arlovski, i could honestly see a disciplined boxer with average speed and KO power taking out Fedor. Obviously the boxer would need strong steady legs and would have to finish the fight before it gets to the ground. But I think it can be done!
Vitali Klitschko with his kickboxing background he obviously has the best chance of taking him out. Fedor has never seen anyone that big and coordinated before. Could be an interesting match up
Wladamir Klitschko Not as strong as Vitali but... Ditto
Who Ness! I could see him winning if he gave it his all for 3 straight minutes. Who ness
Lamon Brewster Most of the boxers who went on to fight in mma were either journeymen, below average, or over the hill. Id really like to see how a moderate-to-good boxer like Brewster fair against an Mma'er.

Tough to do with no MMA experience. Remember even Arlovski with his boxing training was a former Sambo champ and has been in MMA for years.
There are just way too many ways for Fedor to win that fight. If they got in a clinch at all the fight is over. Impossible for them to stop Fedor from taking them down with no grappling experience. Fedor is a world Sambo champ.
Its nice to know a list of HW champions who would beat someone in a boxing match THATS NOT A BOXER!
He's a list of people who would strike out Michael Jordan:
Greg Maddux
Rodger Clemens
Jesus Christ
Pele Reid didn't knock shit out, if you read your own article that you posted, Vitali denies it and says he lost the fight from a kick to the THIGH, not exactly a "KNOCKOUT" though it would probably go down as a ko/tko loss if he fell or quit after a thigh Kick. So yes his thigh was knocked out but it still has no bearing on his CHIN.
He could still end up being stopped in MMA because of kicks or GNP.
Fedor would take everyone you listed down and submit them in MMA. All of them would beat Fedor in boxing.
Semmy Schilt is a near 7 feet tall accomplished kickboxer who also had trained in MMA but he had no chance against Fedor and was taken down at will.
In an MMA event, those boxers would get in a few good shots but that will be the extent of their strategy. A swift take down and a brutal beating at Fedor's hands would soon follow.
In a strict boxing event, Fedor would not be as effective with only his fists, although he does possess one punch knockout power. He would simply be limited to moving around the ring and counter punching, hoping to land that one big shot.

Pele Reid was his name, he KO'd Vit. In a boxing match I have no doubt Vit would KO Fedor in MMA Fedor would proberbly do the same to Vit.
In an MMA ring? The chances that Vitali wins are slim let alone the others, Vitali had been KO'd in kickboxing before by a little known british fighter (can't remember his name) I'll have to get back to you on the name of the fighter
