How would Junior dos Santos do in boxing?

For an MMA fighter he is crisp and has good power. I think he would be more successful in boxing than Kimbo or any other cross overs. Junior started training in BJJ at around 19 or 20 and loves the boxing discipline Junior on the pads at 9:40 Junior sparring (Dont know who but according to a response on youtube the other guy is an olympic boxing)

Nick Diaz is a solid boxer and doesn't throw wild punches, he also has been dominating the MMA scene for a while. All I know is when I watch MMA fights, the fighters with good boxing skills and hands tend to win every fight they're in.

Junior Dos Santos' boxing is designed for MMA though. He can get away with hands that low, looping punches etc. I don't think he or any other MMA fighter would do well against top boxers.

Pacquiao would be the champion in the UFC , are you serious ? His boxing skills are poor , he is not even technically gifted so in the UFC it would be worst . If his boxing skills are poor, then he is one of the luckiest mofos in the history of the universe. Lucky KOs all around. Or Ariza has some damn hell ass good steroids

MMA proved tonight what we already knew, it's a joke sport. Also their debut on Fox has been ruined.

Wladimir would be UFC HW champion today had he stuck with kickboxing Pacquiao would be the champion also, but they chased the money, and boxing was the way.

Ray Mercer brutally KO'd a 2 Time UFC HW Champ in 10 seconds. MMA is a joke. We'll just try and forget James Toney's pathetic attempt. :blackeye:

He'd be useful, obviously heavy handed, fast and mobile. A quick fight like that doesn't tell you much though.

If they stood up with the boxer. Boxer wins easy. That is not the case by any means! and just because JDS won by punch dont get it confused Overeem is gonna walk through him his BJJ is off the hook too...

Lol, so much for the fox debut. 1 min and 6 seconds. On the bright side we saw what a boxer would do to any mma fighter who stood with him. This. So true.

that fight was NEVER going the distance. 1st big shot was likely to win it, and it did. Good thing it finished quick, now i can focus on the Pac/Marquez undercard.
