An MMA fight only becomes a stand up battle if the MMA fighter wants it to. That is where Sylvia went wrong, he stood in front of a multiple time world champion boxer and got his clock cleaned. With takedown defense being an completely foreign skill to most boxers, you wouldn’t even have to be that good at takedowns and you could probably get the fight to the floor. Look at Couture vs Toney…a VERY simple single leg, that most MMA fighters would avoid, put Toney square on his ass.

how about a boxer and an mma fighter in a real fight…….. boxer=roadkill

okay makes sense in a way but there are many other skill sets in MMA besides the boxing such as low, mid and high kicking, clinch work etc. Basically you need to be a well rounded fighter all around. Tim Silvia got wrecked equally by Fedor in the same time or less so thats a fault of Tim really.
Lack of head movement and evasiveness, which yes boxing does teach you but so does Muay Thai, kickboxing, Karate and yes even Capoeira

The only argument I see is that boxing is better then mma, street fighting is better then boxing and if you look at Kimbo Slice’s record, mma is better then street fighting.
So, no valid argument.

Didn’t he get killed by Remy Bonjaski in a K1 fight awhile back? One kick and that was it if I recall. Boxers have good stand-up but give some respect to other striking arts!

How about a navy seal vs an mma fighter in a real fight. How about a ninja.

Both Sports take courage & skill.
We should respect both.

Obviously a top mma fighter has the advantage over a top boxer but again it all depends on so many things.The top boxer always has that chance of connecting but everything else leans in the mma fighters favor.Just because one top mma fighter beats a top boxer does not mean he would beat them all the same way and vice versa.So many factors to consider,it depends on the fighter like always.

Let’s just have a rap off to settle this! Who’s in?!?

I think of the two as if boxing is like playing chess and mma is like playing all board games at once. Its more lethal but less damaging overtime unlike boxing. They both have my respect it takes tremendous skill to be atop both worlds mma/boxing and the one ingredient in both is hardwork. Talent + hardwork is anderson silva and Ali/Tyson

Boxing is one aspect of MMA

Bob Sapp GOAT, end of argument.

@Meat Drapes – haha hell yeah.
boxing cant touch mma. thats like a 9sec 1/4 mile car trying to win nascar 500… it aint gonna happen.
that said, at the end of the day the only thing that matters is the size of your junk.
