Poor examples, It would have made more sense if the fight with McGregor and Floyd had some stipulations that allowed different strikes that are used in MMA i.e. kicks allowing high or just low kicks, elbows and the clinch. However, the fight with Conor was pure boxing we all know if it was inside a MMA cage or out in the streets Connor would destroy him inside 5 minutes. Look at James Toney Vs. Randy Couture since you like to compare past it former UFC heavyweights fighting a past it Ray Mercer.
Fact is anyone can shoot in and try to get a takedown, most boxers won't have a clue what to do when someone grabs both your legs and tosses you to the deck. They won't know how to defend transitions so inevitably the guy with MMA experience will get full mount and **** the guy up with relative ease.
