would edison miranda fare good in MMA?

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.

There aren't any MMA dudes better than Miranda when it comes to boxing......Miranda isn't the best boxer in the world but he would beat any MMA guy in a boxingmatch you better believe that.

Miranda shouldn't try MMA though cause if you have no groundgame you'll not be successful. They would just take him down and submit him.

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 **** about mma only see **** 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.

Man i like MMA but you have to admit that Diaz is slow as hell and got knocked down by two ****in 155 pounders: Gomi and KJ. Noons.
Frank Shamrock knows the basics but that's it, he's good enough to outbox Phil Baroni, which is not the most incredible thing i've seen in MMA.

Those MMA guys couldn't do **** in a boxing fight against a world class athlete like Miranda. Especially with those 4 ounces gloves, they would get knocked out. Miranda could toy with all of them standing up. But they would beat him cause of the ground game and the wrestling.

I'm curious about one thing: Who do you think in MMA could outbox him?
All the top guys in those last years have terrible boxing: Liddell, Fedor, Matt Hughes,etc.. The only decent boxers i saw in MMA are: Arlovksi, Anderson Silva, Rampage and Gomi. And none of them could be the amateur champ of their country in their weight class.

mirada without extensive training in kickboxing/muay thai and wrestling/grappling wouldn't do to well in mma.

hard to box against a kickboxer who throws a lot of high kicks or a muay thai fighter whose jab is pretty much his leg kicks.

cliching in boxing is totally different to clinching in muay thai as well.

a boxer would be at a total disadvantage on the ground as well.

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...

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.
