Sure you can, it's all a matter of opinion anyways.
If I asked who was a better athlete, the average player in the NFL or the average player in MLB....the answer would be easy.
My opinion (and it's just an opinion) is that boxers are better overall athletes and that it is harder to become a pro boxer.
Mainly because (as was mentioned before) it's an olympic sporting event, and the pay at the higher levels is ALOT more than the top MMA guys make.
Therefore you have alot more elite athletes trying to break into boxing, as well as already being there. This of course may change in the future as MMA becomes more popular.
