It's pretty simple really, if it's a boxing match the boxer will have the advantage. If it's an MMA fight the the MMA fighter will have the advantage. IMO.
The only boxer I'd give a real chance to, in the heavyweights, is Wlad because of his kickboxing background, that is if it was an MMA type fight. I can see him throwing an elbow or two also.
This is very true. For example, GSP trains standup with Freddie Roach, and I heard Nick Diaz does a fair bit of sparring with Andre Ward.
