    Who has the best chance of success

    What mma fighter anyweight class has best chance to crossover and be a legit boxing champ. And vice verse what boxer could go to mma even in prime and become a champion as in ufc not bellator or the other 2nd tier leagues. Any weight class. Im talking if they were younger cause reality aint no1 34 yrs old crossover to another legit sport and becoming a legit champ with no prior experience

    I dont watch enough MMA to have an answer but Amanda Nunez I believe can get some training and take over girl Boxing. It’s not like women boxing has lot of competition.

      A HW on both sides. At HW power can override skill more often & in general HW guys are less skilled in both sports compared to lighter weight guys. And obviously it's gonna make it harder for a new guy to overcome the skill gap he'd be at vs guys with much more experience & training.

      I'd go with Francis Ngannou on the MMA to boxing side. And probably Dillian Whyte or Big Baby on the boxing to MMA side.

        Israel Adesanya's got some great hands. IDK if he could win a belt at cruiserweight, probably not, but I like his chances of transitioning to boxing if he wants.

              Yeah my guess would be tnt vitor belfort. That energy if was young n focused on boxing full time at cruiser or light heavy wouldve been sickening. But realistically cyborg as a womans champ then truthfully stipe miocic as a golden glove winner couldve been some in boxing if aint switch n ubereem for it was ubereem those french horse steaks beat canelos mexican steaks i guess go find some special steaks to get big. As for boxers success to mma i think dillion whyte since he comes from kickboxing background. Ofcourse tyrone spong n nieky holzken but boxers no kb background id truthfully say truthfully beterbiev russian especially degostan mindset is different if he got with khabib n was half as competent on ground thatd be deadly for khabib doesnt kick knee or much else striking hes punches and 2/3 grapples u like no other. Hitting like bricks with a competent grapple game goes a long way

                    That is true though, his former self woulda been better. More fresh, more youth. He already missed the window.
