Exactly, the best boxers in MMA are the one who know their basics. But if you compare them to real boxers, they're horrible.
Horrible in context. But more than enough in actuality. Remember it's 2 different sports. They dont need to be going 12 rounds with Miranda. They jus need to be adept enough to not go toe to toe with him and get to a range where his power will be neutralized. then Miranda's got nothing else.
frank shamrock is one of the best strikers in mma...he knows a little more than a little...same with rampage jackson...kung lee...and a lot of other guys...some of them know how to box...i saw a boxing match with anderson silva...it was the worst thing ever...but at least he knows the basics of boxing...
WHAT???????? Miranda gettin kimbo'ed in MMA, WTF?? Man look at Scott Smith boxing skills, i swear i would kick his butt standing up. MMA guys'boxing suck balls big time. Watch TUF , those would get KOed by Lucia Rijkers and i'm serious.
who the hell was saying scott smith's got good boxing skills??? and who the hell says tuf has the best striking mma has to offer??? Seriously. Guys who talk shit about mma only see shit they wanna see.
Look at guys like Frankie Edgar, Nick Diaz, Frank Shamrock, etc etc. There are dudes in mma with some decent boxing skills. Not the greatest skills in the world but enough to not swing for the fences every swing like miranda and so many others in mma. Difference is they also have a ground game in their arsenal whereas Miranda wouldnt.
He'd be kind of like Houston Alexander I think. Crazy power and no ground skills. A lot of the times he would lose on the ground, but some fights he would shock his opponents with his power.
And gets KTFO by someone like James Irvin.
Miranda isnt even a good boxer. He's just a well conditioned guy with power. There's plenty of dudes in MMA that are better boxers than Miranda.
Miranda would win by KO in mma so long as he gets fed nobodies but when he steps up his competition he'd get the kimbo treatment.

pretty good comparisons
if anyone was dumb enough to stand with Miranda, his power + 4oz gloves would equal murder
but he'd likely get taken down and submitted in short order
