3) In boxing you learn to get hit, you learn to take punishment, in most MMA fights the first big hit is the end of the fight.

4) For you to say that you can take a 6foot6 250lb boxer and kick his ass is just pure arrogance. Considering these men completly shater men their own size with pillows on their hands I dont see how you would deal with even a jab down your pipe with no glove on. Im not talking about any hooks either.

5) A boxer your own size sure...I'll give you that maybe.

But lastly dont forget that boxers are taught toughness. And if you are to pick the toughest son of a bitch on the planet, it will always be some boxer.
I extremely beg to differ. I have in fact kicked the ass of a 6 foot 5 260 lb ameteur boxer doing just this. Who says Im going to let them hit me. If I shoot right away id dare say the choice is 50-50 whether they beat me to the punch. (Pun intended)

In real martial arts you learn to take a hit too. Trust me, I can take some damn hard hits. Im not going to take a direct hit from the best boxer ever mind you, but your assuming that he can hit me when Im shooting at his ankles. Thats a skill hes never practiced or had to use, and isnt in his power zone. Hitting someone down near your ankles is not the same thing as hitting around the midsection or head.

That all being said Im not a small guy. Back in the day I was 5' 11" 180 lbs with 1 percent body fat. Im a long way from that now, but your still basically down to whether the boxer can hit me before I take a shot.. Something hes never prepared to defend against. It is pretty arogant to argue he can defend or hit against something hes never seen.

Boxers are not nor have they ever been the toughest. A good wrestler is typically in way better shape pound for pound.
