I was talking this whole time about Chris Lytle, who was a good professional boxer. Then you interjected with saying that pretty much anybody can become a pro boxer. Obviously I wasn't talking about black belts in BJJ who, out of the blue with no training become professional boxers and get smoked every time they box. Nobody does that anyway.

This is as daft as it was first time i saw it. Tyson has no take down defense. Then add the fact that him attempting to close the distance against a decent wrestler or guy with decent double leg would mean he would be off balance and not even in a good position to sprawl in the first place. More likely than not he gets put on his ass and ground and pounded or submitted. Heck against a guy like tyson, whose only weapons are his hands, his opponent could afford to go for a really low shot and still have high odds of getting him down.
Having ko power does not translate into victory in a fight
And no im not a biased MMA fan, Im just as big a fan of boxing as I am MMA and got introduced to MMA through boxing. Im merely acknowledging reality as even Tyson himself would disagree with you

The rules of the UFC are biased against strikers. for instance downward elbows to the back of MMA fighters attempting takedowns as seen on fight quest cause backs to spasm and MMA fighters to fall on their faces. So much for the takedown....
Umm... well, he tells me 'welcome back to reality' and my post that you seem bewildered by is merely a response to that... I don't understand what your issue is with it.
If you depend on a downward elbow to save you, you are a terrible striker to begin with. Not to mention, we've seen elbows to the back have no effect whatsoever on fighters in the past.
Quit playing Theory Fighter 2 and accept the reality about fights. The best way to neutralize a grappler, is learning how to grapple yourself. You don't have to go to the ground just because you can grapple. Rashad Evans was able to stop Jon Jones's takedowns, because Rashad knows how to wrestle. He kept the fight standing solely because of his wrestling ability.
They are screwing with you bro.
