I think Vitali would have a great shot at being successful at MMA. Unorthodox style, height, reach, and punching power.

John L. Sullivan, given that boxing was more like MMA when he fought
Wlad, Vitali, Lennox Lewis, Tyson, anyone that had legit 1 punch KO power with 12 oz gloves would just WRECK anyone using 4 oz gloves
Imagine Cintron landing shots with 4 oz. gloves :o. I was actually really interested to see how he would do in MMA when he was talking about it a while back. He's one of the very few boxers who wouldn't just be a side-show in the sport.Quote:

A boxer will probably get beat in mma. And an mma fighter would probably get beat in boxing. I don't really even see the interest either way. Tom brady is a better qb than sergio martinez and sergio would beat his ass in the ring. So what .......
