    Boxer's stances that would be good for MMA.

    MMA fighters have a very different stance as they have to square up more because they have to quickly sprawl when someone shoots to take them down so who do you think has a good stance that could work for MMA.

    The first one that came to mind was Kostya Tsyzu. Anyone agree?

    no professional boxer should ever attempt to transition to MMA. why? because they've trained all their lives in one single sport, one single stance.

    many MMA fighters are terrible at boxing, with the exception of Eddie Alvarez (look him up), but good MMA fighters can transition to different stances at any given time.

    I box and train in muay thai and in muay thai, they teach us to use two stances - boxing which is more angled (JMM is the best example of a great boxing stance) and a kickboxing stance which is squared - hands up, weight on back leg.
