Best MMA Fighter To Crossover To Boxing?

[Khmelnytsky]

Just to say, Morais is 6'9 290 Aleks is 6'6 260

I'm surprised Fedor hasn't been mentioned. I know right off the bat most people might agree that Fedor is the best MMA fighter out there, but his skills don't really fit those necessary of a boxer.

Check out all his fights and tell me whats the first thing you notice about the dude.

His handspeed and explosiveness is nuts for heavyweight standards. He fights at 200+ yet his hands are quicker than pretty much any cruiserweight out there. Not to mention his explosive speed closing in.

Check the speed.

b.j is the only one on the list that has dominated fighters with boxing look at the 1st round of the 2nd fight he had with hughs watch his fight with st piere or best of all go watch his fight with sean sherk.
silva has never won a fight or even a round in the ufc by boxing so why is his hand skills so highly regarded

[-Swizzy-]

Silva. Liddell's punching ability is overrated even by MMA standards.

#1 the guy in my av Aleksandr Emelianenko i think he has the best hands for a heavyweight in MMA

Check out this HL of his fight with Barnett, he ****d him on the feet

Sergei Kharitonov and also Mark Hunt, he was the 2001 K1 GP winner and has a Chuvalo type chin

That video and everyone who posted underneath it are, well, less than average.

All those guys would have great difficulty against B class boxers.

liddell's hand skills are the worst he just seems to be heavy handed but he can't box for ****

Fedor has better handspeed and explosiveness than most boxers 30 pounds lighter than him.

That video and everyone who posted underneath it are, well, less than average.

Obviously none of these fighters would be even close to world champions in boxing, but they are the best that MMA has to offer...

I agree that Penn is probably the most polished boxer right now.

Sergei Kharitonov was pretty impressive in his prime:





Again, certainly not on the level of top boxers (especially in terms of defense) but he had some amateur boxing experience and can dispatch most MMA fighters on his feet.

outside of b.j penn no one on that list can box, josh koscheck, micheal bisping and rampage should of been on the list they have better hand skills than everyone on the list outside of b.j
