Theres lots of promotions in & out the US that concentrate on MMA. MMA is mixed martial arts, that means boxing is also a part of it. Some of these guys actually come from boxing backgrounds & have real knockout power so to say Floyd would run circles around them in boxing - get real ::) Oh & if someone doesn't know their jiu-jitsu or wrestling, of course they're gonna be bored watching someone doing takedowns on the next man & MMA isn't only about that, you got a whole bunch of matches were noone goes to the ground & is all stand up.

Naw, thats not it. Its just boring lol. I mean, at first I got into it a little. But its nothing compared to a good boxing match to me. And yes, some of these guys come from boxing backgrounds...but its completely ridiculous to think any of these guys would stand a chance in a boxing ring with a world class boxer fighting under boxing rules. Just the same, like I said, a boxer wouldnt be able to compete in a MMA ring under MMA rules. Either fighter will always have a "punchers" chance. But its two completely different styles of fighting. Boxers spend their entire life training to box with their hands. Nothing else is used. You can imagine how skilled they become, particulary an elite fighter. MMA fighters, even if FROM a boxing background are probably not elite boxers...or they would have kept boxing. They work on a lot of aspects of MMA, not necessarily focusing on just ONE particular aspect. Meaning, they are skilled overall....but the boxer who only trains his hands...will have more skill in his hands. Fighting under his rules gives him the advantage. I couldnt even imagine what would happen to an MMA fighter in the ring with a boxer the Caliber of say a Shane Mosley. With his power and hand speed, any MMA fighter would be lucky to land a punch...or last more then a couple rounds (in a boxing ring under boxing rules).

I know what you're saying. I trained a little jiu-jitsu so I might find it a lot more interesting than other people. Anyways the way I've seen how hard some MMA fighters train their conditioning & overall fighting sklills & tactics I do think a MMA fighter with good hands could KO a proffesional boxer. Also these guys may train various fighting styles but they usually choose a style that fits them best. I've seen alot of MMA fights & Shane Mosely isn't the only guy with power & speed 8)

without a doubt an MMA guy might be able to knock out a professional boxer. And without a doubt, a professional boxer might be able to step into the octogon and land a clean shot to the head and knock out an MMA fighter. Its just when I watch MMA, even so called strikers dont seem to have THAT much hand speed or even that snap that a great puncher in boxing would have in their punches. Take the hardest punching MMA heavyweight, and say Mike Tyson. Who would you rather take a punch to the jaw from? lol. I think id let the MMA fighter take off on me WAYYY before Tyson.
