Who would win in a UFC and boxing match?
I personally think that a boxer would win a boxing match and a MMA would win a UFC fight. This seems to be a big topic since Mayweather started trash talking. I think that its like comparing apples and oranges. One thing a think Dana White said which is wrong is that UFC fighters are better athletes.
Give results as if they where to fight a UFC fight and boxing match.
Klitschko vs Couture
Mormeck vs Liddell
Hopkins vs Anderson Silva
Calzaghe vs Serra
Mayweather vs Sherk
This is the link that talks about what Mayweather said about the UFC.

I happen to love both boxing and MMA. And agree with you that a boxer should be able to beat an MMA fighter if you limit him to only boxing. In an MMA fight I would have to give it to the UFC guy. Mayweather is very ignorant. In boxing no matter how fast you are your opponent can still grave and clinch you... and thats all an MMA fighter needs to take you down to ground and pound!
I love boxing, but I compare it to checkers because it has most boxing strategy has already been defined, and MMA to chess because the possibilities in a fight seem limitless. I will continue to support boxing, but I know its time is ticking.
To answer your question regarding the matchups I like the boxer to win doing what he has done all his life, and I like the UFC guy to win via ground and pound.
