boxers jumping to mma

If they train hard to make the transition to MMA then yes they can.

I'm gonna go in an entirely different direction and say that if a professional boxer makes the jump to mma and does round out his/her entire game with some form of grappling that they would no longer be a boxer but a mixed martial artist. And back to it yes they can, if a professional wrestler can be a dominant champ then a pro boxer definitely can. At least boxing is fighting.

I think boxing is the most underrated of all martial arts (there i called it a martial art) because most people see it as a one dimensional fighting style. But a trained boxer is lethal, with lightning fast strikes trained to hit with power, footwork and a body conditioned to absorb blows which would make an ordinary person crumple. I think if they would just add wrestling for defense in case the fight goes to the ground, they would be successful, and i do mean championship caliber successful in mma.

I think that boxe is very deadly discipline, but for a boxer is very difficult to success in MMA, beacuse the boxer doesm't know the grappling work. The binomial ju-jitsu/boxing for me is good.
