What boxers of any time would have had the best style for mma

[Xyiencemma]

What boxers of any time would have had a good style for mma. Obviously mma is different but lets say someone was looking up to a boxer and wanted to train there style and bring it to mma who would be the best to emulate. Give me a few boxers if you could. Thanks

Guillermo Rigondeaux

 

[Sunfish]

Butterbean.

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

Jeremy Williams....

 

[SuwoopBangin]

Shaquille O'Neal

Jeremy Williams....

Just looked him up and he is nasty. I certainly can see his style in mma. Thank you for the share

Tyson, IF, he had a MMA trainer like Cus who knew how to mold him and tether his beast.

I think this should be in the MMA section but whatever Foreman

Jack Johnson, some good dirty boxing and control in the clinch.

He's had 5 mma fights then seems to have stopped fighting to do TV/film. Here's his last:

Jack Dempsey hell for conditioning purposes he wrestled a lot in some if his camps

 

[hell wall]

Samuel peter...

 

[Err]

Rocky Marciano or Sandy Saddler I think would have done pretty well.

 

[ZroC]

Holly Holm

 

[amhlilhaus]

james j Jeffries, bob fitzsimmons had the world Greco roman champion in his camp and wrestled him all the time.

 

[WatchMeDoMe**]

Roy

 

[Breakfast Bar]

Danny Hodge, if that counts.

Otherwise Jeremy Williams and any of the guys who trained and fought in pre-Marquis de Queensbury rules.

In other words, all of them had enough boxing, the ability to grapple and stay on their feet is what would be the differentiating factor.

 

[Da City of God]

Tyson

 

[ebe9]

Rocky Marciano.

Kermit Cintron as he wrestled in highschool and college. Cintron is also quite the actor as he can likely turn any punch into a headbutt and when things are likely too much for him he can just fling himself over the ropes
