Boxing is No1

[Max Power]

I just googled UFC champions. Heavyweight champion - Cain Velasquez, 6'1, 240lb. He is a brown belt in Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu, a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a NCAA Division I Wrestler. Has a boxing and Muay Thai trainer. 13 wins, 11 by KO with 1 loss.

So you guys would back Wlad to beat this man in an anything goes bout?

Poor Wlad certainly wouldn't want to be grabbing this man.

I will answer to that Fenster. I am not specifically insisting on Wlad beating this guy but I think it would be highly probable. First at 6'1" Wlad would have such a range advantage and he would know to move away and not into the wrestler. Because of his rustiness at boxing I think Wlad would get the drop on him early with a straight right catching him on the way in.

Look at this guys record. This is the HW champion with a record of 13-1. Gee that's some super athlete right there!!

Look I think many boxers would lose to MMA guys and I think even with the same 2 guys there can be different results given rematches. I'm just saying that the nature of boxing is such that they always have high chances in any combat situation.

As for boxers in MMA, when have you ever seen a top level boxer go into MMA

Never. They only do it when they are burnt out and fat or never were good to start. And that's because there is more money in boxing

Cain Velaquez would beat Wlad 9 times out of 10 in a street fight. Hed easily take him down and once that happens its over, Wlad wouldnt get up again. Wht would a top boxer go into MMA? Its like asking why a NBA star doesnt go to the NFL.

Forget the UFC over boxing for money/fame/popularity angle. That's nonsense as I was originally arguing in this thread. The UFC can't touch boxing globally.

However, at 6'1 that UFC champion is a similar stamp to Povetkin and Haye, who Wlad had to hold within 30 seconds of facing them. The second he gets close to this guy it's game over. If he misses it's game over. So Wlad's only chance is to land a dynamite right hand before he gets taken down and smashed to bits.

If the rules were purely stand up then this guy will kick Wlad's leg to death. So anyhow you look at it the heavyweight boxing champ of the world is a massive underdog.
