In each UFC weight class there is one fighter who stand out from the rest because of their elite boxing, and because of this they could potentially transition to boxing or be somewhat succesful in boxing. Let me know your thoughts
@@whsiwkbahw1414no the name of the game is win in any way. Max has better combinations than Ilia does, better footwork, and his cardio and chin would be insane in pure boxing.
06:40 I think Conor outboxed Poirier in the second fight. If you analyse the first round Conor rocked Dustin teice very hard but the calf kicks changed the game that day.
Shannon sharp don’t know wtf he’s talking about stick to football. Some say Holly Holm is the most successful boxer to transition to mixed martial arts (MMA). She has a great boxing record, held sanctioned belts, and is considered one of the best female welterweight boxers in history. After only eight months of training with a background of being a Cleveland Golden Gloves boxing champion and NCAA Division I wrestler at Cleveland State, Miocic began his MMA career by winning his first six professional fights by knockout Other boxers who have transitioned to MMA include: Vitor Belfort, Nate and Nick Diaz, Junior Dos Santos, and Murilo Bustamante Ray Mercer Boxing: 36-7-1, 26 KOs MMA: 1-0, 1 KO Heather Hardy Boxing: 20-0. 4 KOs MMA: 1-0, 1 KO Mia St. John Boxing: 49-14-2, 19 KOs MMA: 1-0, 1 KO Ricardo Mayorga Boxing: 32-9-1, 26 KOs MMA: 0-3 Ana Julaton Boxing: 14-4-3, 2 KOs MMA: 2-2 Marcus Davis Boxing: 17-1-2, 12 KOs MMA: 22-11, 6 KOs Chris Lytle Boxing: 13-1-1, 7 KOs MMA: 31-18, 3 KOs
@@whsiwkbahw1414 still dont change the fact that he dog walks every mma fighter around his weight in a boxing match. They could hit him but hell hit them 10x more. Triple g one of the greatest boxers ever got hit a lot
@@whsiwkbahw1414 that was not even close to a boxing match and im not even gonna say the obvious answer by saying it was an mma fight (which i cud and ill be right) but the range they were fighting at was kickboxing range. Volk got his punches in by sliding in n out of kickboxing and boxing range. Would not even be close to happening in a boxing match
@@in33d2floss7 Volk showed a better ability to get his shots off on Max even at boxing range bruh he was countering him left and right Max had no answer for him. How would the fight have been different in a pure boxing match?
@@Thorschancesofbeatingsuperman lol not at all 🤦♂that 35 year old smashed your boy with 34 and owned him in all 3 fights. Anyway MMA is not math, i´m not saying this cause Topuria crushed Volk I´m saying it cause Ilia is levels above Max in boxing, grappling, wrestling, jiu jitsu, power... Max will look like an amateur when he faces Topuria
Hill is a WAY better boxer than Pereira, wtf? LOL. I would say Pereira has the best boxing in the division right now when Hill's inactive. If they were to fight Pereira would outstrike Hill but Hill would outbox Pereira & potentially KO him if Pereira decides to str8 up box with him. Don't let the Izzy & Strickland fights fool you & besides Izzy has outboxed & outstriked Pereira in every fight they were in. However the Strickland one, take away the kickboxing, beats the sh outta him. Poatan not in my top 10 or prob not around it. Overall good ass list. My top 10 best boxers in UFC rn 1. JDM 2. Poirier 3. Yan 4. Volk 5. Holloway 6. Topuria 7. Hill 8. Strickland 9. Aspinall 10. Moreno
Strickland is not the best boxer in middleweight IMO. You gotta remember, this is MMA, not boxing, its a damage-based sport not a punch-point-based sport. He only has 2 KOs even though all he does is box. I would say DDP has better boxing damage wise (I know Strickland put a lot of damage on him in their fight) He just incorporates it better into MMA than strickland does. Its like watching an MMA fighter do boxing and not a Boxer do MMA. Plus the guy has way more KOs even though he's been in the UFC for 6 years less than Strickland. Also strickland got destroyed by Pereira standup wise even before his KO.
