im sorry, anyone who thinks that a martial artist would beat a boxer simply does not know anything about fighting...

martial arts are great, for discipline and focus, and state of mind....i know, i do it...

but they are no good in a fight, if you do not understand that then go, learn martial arts then challenge a boxer to a fight, i guarantee that u will end up in a very bad situation...

i know, i do both, as a matter of fact ive fought a black belt in a street fight (who are my next door neighbours who i dont like)

he is a second degree black belt in tae kwon do, i naturally did not use my karate, because its useless. i used boxing, he at first went for a very weak shot to the body (which is what they tell you to do in most martial arts) and naturally it did nothing, i then got in to a boxing position with him, meaning i got within a foot of him. this very fact immediately throws off all martial arts because you cannot kick someone that close, and the martial arts positions are not made for that kind of closeness.

needless to say i hit him twice and he was almost out cold...

im not trying to brag, but it was just a simple matter that boxing is superior in a real fighting situation then martial arts are, if you dont know that then go take some martial arts and then go take some boxing, you will know what im talking about.

give someone like lenox louis some good ground work and he would be a force to be wreckoned with.Even with that though,i belive most boxers would be thrown off by some of the mma fightes unorthodox fighting stance.

thanks for the link!

in a street fight boxing is more effective i'll admit but a boxer just doesn't have the reach of a martial artist.... especailly TKD... Legs are longer than arms, i'm sry to tell you that.... and yea...but honestly i think a TKD match with a boxer is the coolest thing ever!!! you need to see for yourself out of 11 of those fights i was there for 9 of them... it was so cool!

wrestling, ok, maybe...

i still say id get a shot or 2 in before a wrestler would take me down, and boxers are trained for 1 punch to count...

and if you took arguably the best one of those 1 punch to count fighters (aka boxers), Ali, he would wipe the floor with even most wrestlers...

as i said however, to dispute the reach by kicking thing, boxers would easily get inside a kick, and id be about a half a foot away from you, how can u kick me with me staring at u face to face?

1 person has done it?

wow, every boxer is trained to fight like that. and most martial artist cannot kick that close (even if someone has done it getting any kind of power like that is physically not possible) as well, kicking takes longer, by the time he had his foot off the ground id argue that most boxers would have at least 3-4 punches off...
