Now to say that wrestling > a trained offencive striker that uses knees, elbows, fists, kicks is laughable.

Still greater.. a strained striker cant do it on the ground.. If the wrestler gets him to the ground its over.
Wrestling < a trained striker that also has a decent amount of basic grappling training. (decent doesnt mean a wrestler, but rather someone who has had at least several weeks of basic training) K1 and UFC both showed that in their early years.
In other words.. In a choice between buster douglas and a k1 fighter at the top echelons.. Ill take old buster (only boxer I really remember to be honest) sinc ehte k1 has had grapple training if hes at that level.. And if he knows the basics enough to keep me on my feet Im toast. But the basics arent intuitive.
