Mayweather calls out UFC and MMA as a whole...

There seems to be a lot of fear coming from the boxing community right now. Whether or not these comments are jokes, it's pretty obvious that MMA definitely has boxing's attention.

With regards to a top rank boxer being able to dominate MMA, I'm not so sure. Most of said boxers will have been training for years in boxing, and I doubt they could learn to properly defend against certain fighting styles. I think a world class boxer can develop an excellent sprawl and dominate wrestlers, but I don't see a PBF being able to handle a K1 style fighter like Buakaw. Even with 18 months of training, how does a PBF even get to the point where he can get close enough to Buakaw without eating ~fifty leg kicks?

Against a fighter like Sherk, I could see PBF having the edge. With a decent sprawl Sherk would be at a disadvantage, imo.

I guess that I could see a boxer coming into the HW division and tearing it up though, someone like Lennox who has an obvious reach advantage over everyone else.
