    This conversation is so played out. Regardless he better not pick an active boxer he is horrible and has really short arms. He just went life and death with Pauli Malignaggi lol

      It’s really not. Paulie broke both hands is super shot and retired. Artem wouldn’t be top 50 in boxing

        Not really.

        Paulie is just an idiot, but he's also shot and never had any pop in his punches even in his prime.

        There only a few fighters in MMA I would pick to have any success in boxing if they went that route instead of MMA. But as far as MMA fighters transitioning to boxing, I can't see anyone doing too well.

            Or maybe beating a old boxer with hand issues in this new sport isn't the same as beating a boxer in the ring.

            But this is why I like BK fighting. Cuz I think its a middle ground between MMA & Boxing & I don't think either side has as massive an advantage as they would in their chosen profession.

              The skill gap between the best boxers and the best boxing MMA guys is huge. If it wasn't they would be pro boxers making much more money than they make in mma. None of them have ever beat a good boxer because they just are not good enough at pure boxing. They hire boxing coaches to help them improve. Like I said if they had the talent to make it to the top in pro boxing why would they chose the mma for much less money and and a pair of ugly mutilated ears. Paulie got robbed and he is a washed up pro boxer who is much smaller than Artem and famous as the weakest puncher in boxing.

                They were only swollen. Artem's left hand swelled up during the fight which is even worse

                  He wouldn't be top 500 either.
