Mixed martial arts or boxing?

[TapouTfighter]

Who do you think would win in a match between a boxer or a mixed martial arts fighter? example: chuck liddell vs roy jones jr.

martial arts....they have more weapons then a right jab followed by a left hook...

boxing i think cause you get in and punch faster than a martial artist and can prolly take hits better than them also

you dont knock out a guy who's on top of you.  theres no leverage.  unless you got hydraulic pistons in your arms or a hammer

in the beginning of ufc pay per views, strikers were beaten by guys that could go to the ground all the time.

all mma fighters can take a punch and if you block one or two of the punches and work your way inside, then you can grab the guy and dump him. then it is just a matter of time. strikers aren't comfortable on their back and basically they just have no offense from there.

if a boxer could get in two unblocked punches though (maybe one...could happen) i suppose that could win a match. but i'm guessing 99 times out of 100 that just won't happen.

also, part of the problem with boxers if they are standing is guestimating how far your opponent is away from you. take off the boxing glove and you now are off with your punches by what...two inches? that could mean everything for a boxer.

mma is the death of boxing as far as i can tell. i still like boxing, but i don't get near as much out of a good boxing match as i do a good ufc (or whatever) match.

If you get a chance, the VS. channel has WEC fighting on once a week (i believe tuesdays) and they have fighters in the lower divisions like 145 pounds.  They are really fun to watch if you like the ground game.  I've trained in brazillian jiu jitsu so its fun to see guys doing that instead of standing toe to toe (although thats pretty dang entertaining too).

haha hydraulic pistons, awesome.

i am gonna say if you take an average boxer and an average martial artist boxer wins 80% of the time

if you take the two best in each sport i am going to say a boxer can knock the guy out faster but a martial artist will kill faster

That is totally incorrect.  An average mma fighter will know a little about wrestling and brazilian jiu-jitsu.  This meaning that the boxer will get taken down and will get submitted.  There are a lot of average to great boxers that come into the UFC and get dominated.

[NDSportsFan]

good boxer vs average mma = boxer

good boxer vs good mma = mma


A good MMA will always take the fight to the ground right away and use submission holds that a boxer has no clue how to defend.   All the ring experience with foot work, balance and distance then becomes irrelevant.

my  :2cents:

i agree with NDSportsfan a good mma fighter would take the fight to the ground and submit the boxer in a matter of minutes

An average MMA fighter will take down a good boxer any day of the weak.

An average MMA fighter is not a good MMA fighter.  So to answer your question it is not the same thing that you said.

Instead of using terms like "average boxer" average mixed martial artist" why don't we just name a few. Someone said take the two of the best from each sport. Ok so we'll match up Fedor Emelianko against Wladimir Klitschko. Or Chuck Liddell vs. Mike Tyson. Randy Couture vs. Evander Holyfield. Quinton Jackson vs. Roy Jones Jr. Tito Ortiz vs. Oscar De La Hoya. the match ups are endless

I would dare you to step into the ring with a professional boxer or mixed martial fighter. You would probably end up getting killed or else knocked unconscious for a very long while. And dude I guarantee that if you tried to throw Copenhagen in their eye it would just end up them off. But good for you that you have a very high self-esteem. Some people have very little and some have none at all and its good you are not one of those people.
