I would use Jiu Jitsu on a wrestler, saves a lot of energy because I do not need a better position with Jiu Jitsu while a wrestler wastes all that time getting leverage I'm getting a lock in good.
But boxing, I think, you can throw more punches than kicks, although kickboxing has been known to be the jiu jitsu of boxing, I've seen the better wrestlers destroy jiu jitsu artists with sheer endurance and most of the time I see the same from boxers.
Again I would say you want to limit, for instance thai uses 8 limbs, and thai boxing i don't think could endure a fighter like Mike Zambidis, you want limit your arsenal so you have more time to think.
Modern Boxing tops the others I think and the fight with Mayweather vs McGregor shows that. Modern boxing stance is the thai boxing stance but more narrow and sideways. Very closed, and foot work keeps a distance from grapplers, the attacks and as telegraphed as in kickboxing, so there is more window for quick and efficient knockouts with closing the distance in boxing than any other martial art and trust me they can close the distance.
But doing so makes the vulnerable to a double leg take down, because again the stance is so closed, it's closed for pivoting during the hook. Really if I were to pick an MMA background it would be wrestling and boxing.
So can boxing, as many boxers have died, more so than MMA fighters.
I remember in highschool a wrestler got his neck broken during a takedown. I dislocated my arm and cracked my sternum (cracking your sternum is the worst pain ever) during takedowns.
You know how many football players have died? Wrestling is even higher octane than football.
