I always felt that Conor was the best boxer in MMA history. I think everyone is being too harsh on the guy. I really felt that Conor at 30 percent would wipe the floor with Dustin, and that Dustin is miles and miles and miles beneath Conor prime for prime. I was dead wrong though, about Dustin's chances, and big kudos to Dustin for beating much superior fighter, though most likely way past his prime and made a great mistake of looking past a game opponent who came with a great, great game plan.

So, it got me just wondering about the best boxers in MMA, and you know, who might be the best boxer you think might be in the history. My ranking follows. What's yours

Conor
Mousasi
Prime Sergei
Prime JDS
Motivated Gus
TRT Vitor
Nick Diaz
Bushido Gomi
Prime Alex
Cody
Android
Motivated Penn
Holloway
Nate Diaz
Aldo
 
Not a great boxer who came into MMA, like Mercer or Tony, or someone who had a short career like Nishijima, but MMA fighters.
 
well, dustin and khabib outboxed conor so they should be at the top of your list

what do you mean by best boxer? best boxer for MMA?? because all these guys would get killed by amateurs in a boxing match

best boxer in MMA is easily holly holms
 
Only talking about their technique/timing

Conor
Yan
Prime BJ
Anderson Silva
Adesanya
Cruz
Non-emotional Cody
Holloway
Poirier
Aldo
Fedor

...are those that come to my mind immediately.

Conor
Masvidal
Rampage
Max
Diaz Bros
JDS
Glover
Anderson
Prime Chuck
Dustin

honorable mention should be Kimbo and Cain. Cain had underrated boxing and never got credit

Conor outboxed Dustin stop the lies. He was outboxing him until his leg gave out.

Khabib only landed a decent shot on Conor because the threat of the TD
 
Conor is the greatest boxer we’ve seen in mma without having a boxing career prior like James Toney
 
Currently I would say it's out of Masvidal or Holloway, maybe Moose. Masvidal is good everywhere, he can fight dirty and in the pocket, great defensive skills, can throw volume, knock out power, works the body...he has an arsenal of attacks.


All time, probably Anderson

I really rate Ortega's, I know Max handed it to him but I felt that was mostly down to speed advantage than technical advantage.

Hasn't everyone of these guys gotten outpunched at least once or twice by a fighter who's not considered as good of a puncher?

Not that I'm defending Conor particularly - just feel like I'm seeing far to many GOAT debates where people try to argue particular fighters are dismissed cause of particular losses - when everyone has losses.
