As far as who would win a match between a straight up boxer and an MMA fighter get real. Look into the sport before ya make such a broad statement ...

Example Bonjasky vs Frank Mercer ... 22 seconds. The training is sooooo much no where near the same.

Of course there are no $5,000,000 prizes in MMA. We are talking about a comparatively new sport here financially speaking.

There have been a few guys who made the change. Alessio Sakara 　http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display....oxer_id=297539 and Jens Pulver http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=256828 both did well boxing. Here Marcus Davis covers it from the perspective of a pro that has been there all his life.

Lastly ... you don't need to be rude in a normal conversation ... that talkin' out your ass thing was uncalled for.

and then go to this torrent site you can dload any ppv. Pride or UFC. If you have a DVD burner you could encode a DVD and watch it on ur DVD player. Thats how I watch every UFC ppv. You might have to wait a day for it to get posted on the net but it beats paying the money.

EDIT: For more info on bittorrent: bittorrent

Seeing a fighting style done as a spectator is not the same as having worked it till ya own it.

I absolutely agree that if a boxer is able to get in on most MMA fighters and deliver it's gonna be a short fight; however, any MMA fighter ... if he's a veteran ... knows that he's at a disadvantage on his feet vs a pro boxer so he turns it into a ground game where the boxer is gonna tap out, get knocked out, or get something broke off. Unless he gets choked out and refuses to tap ... nighty night.

Are there ANY boxers in the history of the fight game that have gone into MMA and done well?

Anyone know of any?

But I have seen several MMA guys try to box in the pros and all were destroyed by low level guys.

Pride, UFC, and K-1 all pay better than that although UFC guys seem to get the short end of it. We lost BJ Penn for a good while because he was worth more to K-1 and Pride than he was to UFC ... that and he wasn't getting a shot at the tittle like he deserved.

MMA doesn't earn the same huge purses that boxing does ... but that is a good thing. Everyone knows boxing is a very corrupt game with guys like Don King running the show. Who knows who really would've won all the fights we've all seen that were obviously fixed. We don't have that so much in MMA ... although Sapp did get a few minutes to get his wind when he couldn't answer the bell to round 2 vs Ernesto in a K-1 match.

Good match I'd like to see ... Tyson vs Minotauro Nogueira. Nogueira has a head made of brick that I think has a chance of offsetting whatever TYson has left for KO power. Tyson is brute strong and small enough to be a slippery bitch on the ground. We just need to tape back Nogueira's ears for safety.

Anyone else have one they'd like to see happen between boxers and MMA fighters?
