    I think Joshua with some takedown defense & kicking learned would do well. The HW game in the UFC has very few guys who do ground sh^t in comparison to most other divisions. You could get by there with less experience with BJJ & wrestling.
    Lomachenco was a Greco Roman wrestler wasn't he?

      Do you really think anybody gave a fück when Ferd Hernandez (15-4) beat Robinson when he was shot att he end of his career?

      Floyd is like a civilian now. He's not TBE at 40 namsayin?

      Conor is a young lion that said FLoyd wouldn't even get out of the first round. He came out looking like a 0-0 novice amateur.

        Ive watched mma and i realized that boxer like cotto canelo pacquiao will never be a good striker in mma

        Its impossible that short guys to be a good puncher in octagon cause the distance between fighters is too long. Its Almost 1 step or 2 step further compared to boxing.
        And mma glove you cant guard yourself like boxing.and Even if you catched opponents, it would be most likely wrestling time.

        You gotta be tall and have long reach to be boxer in mma imo height and reach are way bigger factor in mma than boxing

              Plenty with a bit of training. A WWE wrestler become their heavyweight champ with just some experience in actual wrestling in his school days, so there's no reason a pro boxer couldn't succeed.

              The standard of talent in the UFC just isn't that high.

                Artur Szpilka is negotiating with KSW (polish mma org). He'll probably fight there next year. Dont know if he'll be any good tho, probably not.
