Who has the best pure boxing ability in mma right now.

So the obvious choices would be Miocic, Nate and Conor. Nick is still in limbo so he doesn't count. Aldo, Holloway, Edgar, Cruz, Lawler and a couple other guys are up there as well. But I think it has to go to either Miocic or McGregor.

Dos Santos

Holly

2. Also...Conor.

Holly

She got countered like 50 times by the same punch in her last fight. Women's boxing is a joke.

Conor and Nick have great hands. Cruz the footwork but lacks the power.

JDS has power but again isn't mobile

Olivier Aubin-mercier

Stipe Miocic

Also people tend to forget Michael Bisping has some very good boxing as well.

He made a habit of circling into his opponent's power hands for most his career.

Dominic Cruz.

Nobody has better footwork than Cruz. Well, maybe Fred Astaire.

Conor's defense and cardio are too shitty to be successful in pure boxing, his chin is weak to as he was rocked by volume puncher Nate and had to panic wrestle. He's too trigger happy to be able to box proper professional boxing fights that last 8 rounds or more.

In a real boxing match Nate would embarrass him. 10 or 12 round pro boxing fight where cardio is vital, ring where Conor can't run, no leg kicks and 10oz boxing gloves that don't cause cuts so easily. Nate would have his way with him and have Conor take a knee or quit on his stool. It would probably look like the last 5 rounds of Cotto vs Margarito I with Nate being all over him.

In general Nate's boxing style would probably be like Margarito's, tall lanky volume puncher with iron chin and unreal cardio. This style can cover a lot of flaws in technique and in a 10 round fight it reaps benefits in the later rounds. If there was a boxing tournament between the MMA fighters I can see everyone around 155 getting Margarito'd by Nate.

This is Conor vs Nate in boxing:
