Are we talking street fights or mythical X-practitioner vs Y-practitioner in the octagon bouts? They're two totally different scenarios. People saying "X beats Y" need to think abit more about the context. X vs Y in the ring is mental masurbation and doesnt even occur anymore (not since early UFC days anyway)- all good MMA'ers crosstrain different disciplines.
If we're talking street fight, presumably, in a street fight you want:
-to be able to deal damage standing up, and stay standing up
-to be able to resist being taken to the ground or thrown
-to be able to get out from underneath someone on the ground ASAP
-to be able to avoid getting into a street fight in the first place
-to be able to run really fast
Seems like boxing is pretty good for the first point!
