Ray mercer ktfod tim sylvia
Randy couture subbed james toney
Holly holm ktfod ronda rousey

Am I missing any?
 
Ali vs. Inoki

Botha vs. Akiyama
 
Kickboxing, but Ray Mercer lost to Remy Bonjansky.

Akiyama wasn't a champ, but he beat Francois Botha in MMA. (and Botha also had a rough run in kickboxing).
 
ray mercer loss vs kimbo
art jimmerson loss vs Royce
But they are a lot of boxer whos also does MMA (vice versa)
Lucas "big daddy" Browne (boxing 23-0-0 20 ko) will fight for the HW WBA world title vs Ruslan Chagaev
He has a 6-2 mma record (one of it's loss, vs Cormier)
 
Marcus Davis & Chris Lytle Both had a boxing career (13.-1 for both guy if i'm correct)
 
I swear there's one im missing, but I

So if Browne wins then he and Cormier go on the list. Good find.

It is helped by the very loose definition of champ in boxing though it would be like counting a Cage Rage or BAMMA or whatever title in MMA
 
Holly is a mixed martial artist. If she just came in as a boxer, Ronda would have gotten her. Holly trains at one of, if not the, best mma gyms in the world. That comparison doesn't hold up, IMO. Yes her combat background is boxing, but she's a world class kickboxer as well.

This. "Boxer" Holly Holm was doing pro MMA before "MMA's" Ronda Rousey.

What boxing title would you say is the most prestigious?

Toney held the IBF belt in three weight classes

Mercer held the wbo heavyweight belt and was a Olympic gold medalist

Holm was the undisputed welterweight boxing champ I believe?

She's a boxing champ. My thread is about boxing champs vs mma champs.

Not sure what's so hard to understand about it
