Like I said, there will never be a fair way to compare the two sports. They are so different I really don't even know whee to begin. Now you could get someone like Cintron in the octogon, but whether boxing likes it or not, the second he has to defend a takedown, he's a mixed martial artist.Actually hes an MMAist the second he even agrees to fight in mma simply because theres a possibility of a takedown, vice versa for boxing, someone like Sherk could only use his boxing if he stepped in a ring; he's boxer then. An unbelievably simple concept that unfortunatly still has to broken down for so many fanboys, and they still refuse to give into logic.
