Wrestling doesn't really translate to boxing so that isn't a good comparison for boxing.
But plenty of kickboxers have had success in boxing. Tyrone Sprong is a fringe HW contender right now. Big Baby, despite the sh^tshow he's involved in currently, was a kickboxer. I believe the Klitschko's even had kickboxing experience. Holly Holm was a kickboxer before she was a boxer or MMA fighter as I always tell mfers despite cats loving to argue against that.
As far as the trajectory with MMA thats mostly cuz if you win they keep moving you up. In boxing its hard going to move up quick unless you got a huge promoter behind you & believing in you cuz "grooming" & "seasoning" is a thing in boxing. Thats not a thing in MMA for better or worse.
