What Boxer would translate best to MMA?

??? Vladimir?

cintron, haye, malignaggi and berto.

cintron was a big time wrestler and was offered scholarships before concentrating on boxing

haye studies various other martial arts one of them being bjj

malignaggi also studies bjj

berto comes from an MMA family. his dad and brother are mma fighters.

Doesn't Vlad and his bro practice kick boxing? But I wasn't aware of some of the guys you mentioned, thanks

yeah as far as i know they were both kickboxers. i just went with guys that had ground games to supplement their boxing skills.

No that makes sense obviously, the more well rounded you are coming in the better, especially with their hands. I'd like to see Vlad fight some top HWs though, be interesting, same with Pac man, my boy.

i think pac and klits are skilled and smart enough with some serious training in TD defense they would hurt some people bad.

B-Hop man just knows how to fight period.

omg how do i get that ugly pic out from under my name

taylor we need some more of your boxing buds in here. i will say that b-hop would be in consideration but i think his age would play a part in his learning process now.

In 27 posts u get the chick next to mine, but for now Brock

Another great move by Ninja with the BRock for newbies...how fitting! lol

I think Vlad would be a great addition and the mentions of Pac I think are very valid points. Plus, anyone Combat says I'll go along with. lol

Vlad vs. Brock

I'd watch that

Pacquiao would be solid if he had some takedown defense and wrestling training

i would say any top boxer would be solid if they had takedown defense and wrestling training.

Vlad and especially David Haye.

Honestly I just dont think many do, its not that important of a background for mma, good wrestlers make mma'ers not boxers in my opinion.
that said if i had to pick boxers that have a shot Tyson's obvious, I remember when their where Shamrock vs Tyson signs at every early UFC cause everyone though Ken had best shot at beating him. IDk I dont think many mma'ers wouldve taken Tysons initial shot before getting him down.

That said I heard George Foreman say, "if UFC was around when I was a kid I would've done that. And I wouldve been the best. " Think if Big George was training in wrestlind and submissions as well.

Current - Nate Campbell tough and wirey. That can always transition to the cage.

David haye would be a good crossover for sure. I think if b-hop would have taken up MMA at a younger age he would have been great in MMA.

Vitali Klitschko would do ok . He had experience with K1 and has a solid chin. I also get the feeling he enjoys fighting you saw how angry he was when they stopped the Lennox Lewis fight .

Kermit " Tears Of " Cintron could do well with his background in wrestling.

Haye and Berto come from families that are involved with Martial Arts.

Ray Mercer lolololol
