Make Them!
Sadly Boxers fighting UFC fighters would do better than most of these boxing match ups as far as Ratings and PPV Buys
You bring MMA and Boxing Fans together that makes a lot of money...of course they won't be as big as Mayweather vs McGregrorComment

MMA fighters who look like they can actually Box...
Cody Garbrandt
Skilled but over-confident, moves well but keeps his chin high, 31-1 amateur Boxing
Cody on Boxing (ESPN), 2017
- "I think going in a boxing ring with Conor would be great... I feel like I’m one of the best boxers in the UFC... You can give me top boxers, Adrien Broner, Mikey Garcia. I would love to get in the ring with them."
Alexa Grasso
A real gamer, comes from generations of Mexican Boxers (uncles were Boxers, great aunt was a pioneer in Women's Boxing in the 1950's), 25 years old, needs seasoning
Jorge Masvidal
Instinctive, super slick Boxing by MMA standards, elusive and has a good chin, street guy, Cuban-descent

People said here that Paulie didn't represent boxing but like it or not he does. And as a 2 time world champion when he went out there and lost (or had a close fight whatever) with a MMA fighter with a negative record, he embarrassed the sport and made boxers look average strikers and not something special as boxing fans always claimed they are on these fantasy fights against MMA guys.
Now every real legit MMA fighter is calling out legit boxers because of that outcome against a MMA fighter with a negative record. This is all Paulie's fault.Comment

Askren cant talk about anyone's standup, his is awful. Cejudo is an incredibly arrogant midget. And Junior is concussed.Comment

Ben Askren says Boxers cant box good.
“So how can a guy like that, who’s not even great at standup in mixed martial arts, go to beat a guy who was a world champion in boxing? And the answer to me seems that people who box must just not be that good at boxing.”

Cejudo better wish Loma does take that offer, Loma has a Judo/sambo/wrestling background....The Artem win against Paulie got some people gassed.
First Henry calls out Loma
Now Dos Santos wants to fight wilder in boxing
“I’ve been watching him for a long time. I actually admire him. His boxing skills are different but I think that’s the perfect match for me. I can see many, many holes in his game. Can you imagine I’m not worrying about no takedowns, no kicks, no jiu-jitsu, only boxing. That would be paradise for me.”
Junior dos Santos has lofty plans for 2019 and it starts with finishing Francis Ngannou this weekend, winning back the UFC heavyweight title and then challenging a heavyweight boxing champion.
Ben Askren says Boxers cant box good.

All Loma has to do is stuff the takedown and keep it standing Cejudo would get lit up (I am equally into mmo as i am into boxing so i follow both sports closely).
Most other boxers would get smoked if they transitioned thou Loma is the currently the only exception since his grappling background is pretty extensive.Comment
