Boxers will win boxing matches. When the rules are in place, the practitioner of that discipline has an advantage.
who wins in a knife fight, assuming boxer doesn't have to wear gloves?

Lennox Lewis is British...
and Lenny Maclean would have spanked the lot of them in a bareknuckle fight.
The boxer wins hands down. There is no comparison between the hand speed and combinations of a boxer and an mma fighter. Thats all they train for, as opposed to the mma guys that have to train for everything. I prefer boxing but i like mma when they dont dry hump.
The best boxer ever is Sugar Ray Robinson. He was 85-0 as an amateur with 69 of those victories coming by way of knockout, 40 in the first round. He turned professional in 1940 at the age of 19 and by 1951 had a professional record of 128-1-2 with 84 knockouts. He was the guy that Ali worshipped and tried to be like. Nuff said.
Roy Jones is my fav boxer. Watch this shit:

do or die for ball, 1's and 2's to 15, make it take it, call your own fouls.
pick the greatest american basketball player during his prime (jordan, wilt, kareem, whoever you like) and pit him in a mono y mono street game with the greatest american football player of all time (rice, brown, taylor, etc).
who wins and why?
I have a feeling that this post won't get as much credit as it deserves.Quote:

Im non American and i know all the names. :p
Tony Romo vs Spiderman. Who wins and why?
i say american boxing because thats what its called. its a wee less ambiguous than boxing. i guess i could have called it western boxing, which is probably the least ambiguous.
this is not an apples and oranges comparison like the jopkes youre making. both mma and boxing are very much relevant to bareknuckle boxing, however, they are different in their own ways. this was for speculating in what ways and how much. also bareknuckle is not a sport because the athletes would all have broken knuckles. big reason for why western boxing exists.
anyways
i agree that the boxer wins, but for different reasons that youd expect.Quote:

my reason for thinking a boxer would be better at bareknuckle is genetic selection. its no coincidence that a majority of mma are from a different gene pool than boxers. i speculate this is because shorter stockier builds are more conducive to grappling while longer builds have the better leverages for boxing.
and do you really think sugar ray is the greatest ever? consider the competition. he may have been the best of his time, but has not training, drugs, and genetic selection improved since then?
lol what?
the boxer wins because he's a fucking boxer, el dee fucking oh
this is just like asking who wins between a boxer and an mma fighter in vale tudo
it's retarded to even talk about
you are doing the very thing that you're accusing me of doing
I didn't accuse you of shit except having questionable skills in the English language, but that was in a different threadQuote:

Were it a traditional boxing match (i.e. with gloves), this would obviously be a no-brainer. In a bareknuckles match, I still feel very strongly about the boxer but it does add an interesting dynamic. I just think the skill difference is too great, even if the traditional boxer is at a relative disadvantage in a boxing match by having to go bareknuckled.
I'd also submit that the greatest well-known boxer of all time is almost certainly better at boxing than the greatest well-known MMA-er of all time is at MMA. How long has MMA been mainstream again?

I was mostly going by his record (which is unthinkable today) and dominance of the sport. The natural talent he had (without steroids and other "help") is incredible. He was a boxer and a puncher.Quote:
