"There's nothing special about him." -Sergiy Dzinziruk
Well actually wen he was younger Vitali would do just as good as someone like Alistar Overeem (perhaps better perhaps worse). Vitali was a world class kickboxer before he focused in 100% on boxing which is why his stance and fighting style are so strange.
With Wladimir it would depend...if Wlad hits you with a 4 oz. glove I don't care who the hell you are, you're done, but could Wlad avoid a takedown? Could he wrestle? Could he avoid kicks? I doubt it. Wlad is a perfect technical boxer, but that would hurt him in MMA because he stands up tall and that pushes his center of gravity higher therefore making it easier to take him down/topple him over.
I think in MMA it's actually an advantage to be shorter and have a lower center of gravity ESPECIALLY if you don't kick. To do quality wrestling moves and make yourself a smaller target would seem to be an advantage in MMA....just my opinion.
MMA could spawn some decent boxers, but I think it's far easier to "expand your game" (move from strict rules BOXING to loose rules MMA) than to narrow your view of fighting....but that's just my opinion
