Proof boxers would dominate MMA

[DiegoFuego]

Anybody see Mir vs. Noguiera? Mir is a lousy boxer at best and completely dominated the #2 or #3 rated heavyweight in their sport with basic boxing skills. Any top 10 heavyweight in boxing, even in this, our worst heavyweight division ever, would go undefeated in this **** sport that is MMA.

If it's ****, why watch it? Don't give the "I want to laugh at them" excuse. Why spend do much time hating a sport and watching it at the same time. Never makes sense to me...

Lets be real here, a boxer would likely be more successful in MMA than an MMA fighter in boxing. The majority of the wins tonight were from strikes that lead to a KO. These are grapplers and wrestlers with minimal boxing skill winning with strikes, imagine a STRIKER with minimal wrestling and boxing skill? its not even debatable.

That's a ridiculously ignorant assessment....Any of these so called "**** sport" heavy weight MMA fighters would destroy a boxer with BASIC ground skills. Minotauro had to stand up and box, because he knew that at this stage in his career, he didn't have the strength to ward of a ground assault from Mir.....And if you don't like MMA....why watch?


PS: Name any pro heavyweight boxer with Mir's ground game....

Minimal wrestling skill would not be enough for a boxer to keep the fight standing against an accomplished wrestler.

ground skills?? oh you mean the gay hugging and rolling around the floor ****? wrapping their legs around each other? damn you're right a boxer does not have much "ground skills"

[3_Hooks]

if you notice, most of the best strikers with takedown defense in mma don't have an extensive background in wrestling. cc, rampage, andrei arlovski, bj penn, liddell, tim slyvia, etc. so i'm guessing it would be nothing for a boxer to learn td defense. if that's the case then yes the boxer is likely to win. even machida, a fighter with no takedown defense, was able to keep the fight standing and outstrike tito ortiz, who is an accomplished wrestler.

Totally agree. I don't see any of these MMA guys getting a fine-tuned boxer on the canvas. There's just no way. Most of these fights are both guys standing and the guy with the better (I refuse to call them good) boxing skills wins the fight.

can't. I haven't seen too many boxers roll around on the canvas because most are skilled enough to stay on their feet.

I doubt boxers would dominate MMA. Some boxers might do well... perhaps Cintron but once they are on the ground it could be all over within secs...
