You mean giving them at least 2 years of MMA training to prepare them or just jump them into the octagon right now?

Cintron is an obvious one, it's funny how he's pretty much a nobody in boxing (although I think he's a very underrated boxer) but I think he can become a huge name in the UFC lol.....dude should consider a career change

Any boxer would have done better then that. Just like I called, that was an embarrassment.

Mayorga would have done so much better, had Don King let him fight.

toney could why not

have to understand this he isnt even a great boxer at the moment and his old and out of shape, this was his first ufc fight and he came up against a legend in the sport even ufc fighters who just start out dont go up against the best they have

this was the biggest miss match all counts, we all knew he was going to lose and even he did it was for the money and he got it at the end

gotta give him props. he did what no mma fighter would ever do and that is go to the other sport.

youll never see any mma fighter get the balls to fight wladimir klistchko in a boxing match

I think any high level boxer would do well assuming they have the right amount of time learning & preparing in take down defense and submission defense.

Also I can see guys who are generally more light footed and nimble doing better.

wladimir would never entertain such ******ity anyway.

i think there are a large number of boxers that would be successful in MMA... but like everyone else, they would need to start on the bottom and get better after a number of years. no boxer is going to go into the UFC and immediately spark out anderson silva with only a few months of training. it will never happen. the octagon is an MMA fighters playground - and in order to find success in MMA, you have to make the octagon your own play ground. you have to become a mixed martial artist, and THEN you have get to the world class level.

you can't just jump in the sport over night, will never work.
