You said it, it's a standup fight with boxers and they have to defend against your hands. It's not that easy to punch at someone gracefully like Roy Jones when you're constantly having to defend the takedowns, knees, legs, not to mention having to look for all those things yourself. Boxers don't fight the same in the street, they're fuckin fools if they do. Noone will subscribe to the rules of boxing in that situation, granted theres great things about boxing that you can use it just has to be modified. Trust me if it was possible to move and punch like Ali or Roy Jones in mma, someone would of done it by now but obviously it's not possible. Look what happend to Vince Phillips, he went to K1 and got kicked in the face - knocked completely out from what I heard. Even though he was older we're still talking about the guy who TKO'd Kostya Tszyu....
