It would be 10x easier for a boxer to fight MMA style than for your typical MMA guy to become an outstanding boxer. Boxing is more difficult, and I'm not speaking from a hate standpoint, I respect fighters in both arts, but it's just a fact. A good BJJ blue belt with outstanding hands could fight MMA and do ok. Give a world class boxer time to get his purple, learn good takedown defense and he could be a top MMA fighter easily. It takes rare talent to become a top notch boxer... it's more than a matter of learning, you have to be a physical phenom to reach the top in boxing.
