@JohnAntonyFortune Finally, while boxers have great skillset, much of their technique relies on movements such as shoulder rolls and keeping their face covered with their gloves. You can't cover your face with your gloves in mma. I would love to see better shoulder rolls in mma, but you have to worry about kicks, knees and takedowns that you don't in boxing, plus the one punch knockout power from thinner gloves. As such, you see mma fighter are better at keeping their distance + movement.
@JohnAntonyFortune So Toney and Mercer are two examples of how long it takes to develop ground game, now I'll defend my movement comment. First, Anderson Silva had a record of 2-1 in mma against meh competition in that first boxing match. He was just starting in boxing. The boxing match I brought up was 7 years later. Anderson Silva was actually talking about going into pro boxing at that time.
@JohnAntonyFortune meh. I agree that the level of mma BOXING right now isn't at par with the top boxers, but I disagree with "1 or 2 years" for a boxer to learn ground game. Look at James Toney and Randy couture, both fairly elite in their sport in their prime, both getting old (Randy is 5 years older than Toney), and not competitive anymore. Toney had over a year of ground game training, and Randy didn't even break a sweat beating him. Ray Mercer got beat by KIMBO SLICE on ground game!
@TheCodeineKid does gaymboa have to worry about getting taken down or kicked?

A perfect example is KJ Noons vs. Jorge Masvidal. Noons went to bob and weave like he would in a boxing match and got kicked straight up in his dome.
