This has been discussed over and over. You can't use the same stance when you have to worry about getting taken down or kicked. You can't commit to a punch the same way. It's apples and oranges watch what you like and don't sweat the differences. And I watch both regularly every fighter and boxer has holes in their games. Watch FNF and see how many guys don't make mistakes or don't fight the right game plan. Hell ODH abandoned his jab in the middle of a fight when it was working. JT was inactive and timid against a feather fisted undersized challenger. Even his trainer was riding him half the fight to be aggressive. I would categorize those as holes. Everyone has them no matter what sport and especially in MMA and Boxing. I am a fan of both and this argument is silly. They are different and neither is better than the other. As far as class of the fighters, I would have to say boxing has a much higher percentage of former convicts as champs. Let's not get in to that stuff.
