I'm not saying it doesn't take any energy to grapple on the ground, but alot of times you can tell those guys are tired and in guard trying to catch their breath. You don't get to do that in boxing.

I think MMA guys have to be in more well rounded shape...to defend takedowns, kicks, punches, attempt takedowns, kick, punch, and plus defend against submissions. Boxers know what to expect, this guy is going to try to punch me until I fall down...they don't have to worry about being taken to the mat and pummeled.
I can't even watch boxing anymore...too little action/excitement. I've gotten so into MMA that I find excitement in watching a good escape from a submission attempt. And of course the knockouts are always good for business.
