Who's the best boxer in MMA?

BJ has the best jab I've ever seen in MMA. He handled Sean Sherk with the jab better then some boxers could have done it. Rampage has really good boxing skills, he actually trained with Jeff Mayweather before, and that's what he used to exploit Chuck Liddell's stand up. Rashad I don't think is as good of a boxer especially on the defensive side of things, but he does have fast hands and has put together some good real flashy combos.

Best of all time?

I thought he was one of the best, but after the Strikeforce Miami PPV i'd have to say Nick Diaz is the best boxer in MMA.

Diaz looks so open, and he is in a lot of ways, but his volume gets people playing defense so much that they don't throw in between his shots enough.

But he is good at keeping distance, he has good punch variety, as good as any really, and he's the best body puncher in the sport. I do think, even though he still gets a bit sloppy, that his striking looked improved tonight.

His open, but offensively he is one of the best strikers in MMA. I agree with yu aout him being the best body puncher. His body shot that felled Shamrock was a peach of a punch.

During B.J. Penn's last fight Rogan talked about Freddie Roach saying that BJ had the best boxing skills in MMA.

So is it BJ? He's gotta be on the short list but if not him, who?

Not even so much who's the best striker exactly cause you have kicks, knees, elbows, etc., Just the boxing.

When I think of the best boxer in MMA, BJ Penn doesn't even come to mind. Perhaps it's because his greatest wins have always been submissions.

I'd say guys like Stephan Bonnar, Gregard Mousassi and a few others bring that thought to mind. There are many others that come to mind but those two stick out to me. Of course, Chuck Liddell has to be mentioned when the conversation is "boxers in MMA" just by his dominance in the cage with his hands from the past.

I think BJ is the best boxer in MMA..... I have to disagree with the above comment. Yes most of his wins have been via submission, but that's only after he has knock his opponent down from his boxing. He really is a crisp boxer which has great defense

Diaz brothers were good am boxers...

Lil Nog won a Pan Am Games title in boxing and it is very good, watch the Shogun fight from Pride and see that he has good power also.

Bj as it said has a great jab, chin and on pure boxing there are not many that can go with him for five rounds of stand up, in a pure boxing match i think he would beat St Pierre.

Machida is good but i feel like he would lose some of his elusiveness in a ring and ive seen videos of Anderson and am not massivly impressed!

Overall im going with BJ!!
