These are a few of the well known fighters who had a professional boxing career and didn't do too bad. I guess if these MMA fighters can't throw a punch what did it say about the boxers they beat.
Also it's pretty funny that you list Fedor when his striking is so fucking ugly dude is throwing wild, looping punches(like a bar fight). For the most part tho I agree, a bunch of MMA fighters need to work on their hands. It's hard tho when you have to work on wrestling, muay thai, jiu jitsu, cardio, strength, etc tho.
Also if you've never grappled for 5 minutes straight you don't what the fuck you're talking about. Shit is more tiring than standing up and exchanging punches.

Not sayin these guys didn't have boxing backgrounds, just sayin their winning records can be deceiving because almost everyone in boxing starts off with winning records (cuz they are fighting chumps and gaining experience).
Boxing for MMA will never look like boxing in a ring though. The mechanics and angles of throwing and landing punches without a boxing glove on is totally different, MMA gloves are much smaller meaning less movement is necessary, but also that punches can slip through guards much easier.
Also, boxing movements for MMA have to be abbreviated, obviously because of the fact that at any time you can catch a kick, knee, or a shot while throwing punches.
Compared to a boxer in a boxing ring, of course an MMA fighter's boxing will look nothing like a boxer's would in a boxing match. Boxing for MMA is sport specific, so they use what is effective in the sport, and because of the angles and smaller gloves, wider more looping punches are much more useful in an MMA fight than they are in boxing.

Freddie Roach is trying to get paid by working with MMA fighters of course he's gonna say shit like that. Also records like 17-1 are extremely deceiving. There's so many boxers + boxing shows that it's insanely easy to build up a record in boxing ..
Break down that record and Davis beat 10 fighters with losing records, 3 fighters making their debuts, fought to a draw with a 10-11-4 fighter and got stopped by 10-6 Ed Bryant AND THAT'S WITH THEM PILLOW GLOVES! If Davis felt he could make it in boxing he WOULD have. A white kid with an irish background can make some money in boxing all he has to do is beat the bums put in front of him .. just look at John Duddy.
and here's Jens Pulver on boxing when Mercer Vs. Sylvia was still a boxing match..
.. and fuck you IronLung for starting this stupid ass shit.

MMA kicks Boxings ass. Boxing is one dimensional. While MMA mixes a shitload of fighting styles. So if fighters from the two sports fight each other who is going to win the guy that knows who to do one thing or the guy that nows how to do a shitload of stuff. Plus the boxer wouldnt know how to stop the stuff besides the punches because he hasnt trained or prepared for it.
