Boxing requires more skill imo, they're focusing on a more limited form of fighting so have more time to refine their particular skill set. MMA is a lot less forgiving so upsets are more common and there are many more options to win a fight. James Toney was a fat short lard towards the latter part of his career, he didn't maintain diet, he didn't have proper training regimes but what he did have, was an incredible set of skills that were enough to able him to compete at the highest level without a heavy emphasis on strength and conditioning, improving training techniques, camps etc
We have very few guys that excel in every aspect of MMA like Fedor, GSP, MM, etc for most part mma fighters are still specialists.
