iceman, the problem is the boxers don't know how to do anything but box. Most of the UFC guys definitely don't seem to be good boxers, but if they can avoid the boxer's punch and get inside to grapple with him, or get his legs tangled up, what's the boxer going to do? He doesn't know how to defend against the grappling and submission holds. Boxing is one-dimensional, UFC-style fighting has several different avenues to victory. So a guy is a lousy boxer, if he's a good wrestler or kicker then he can make a little money in the UFC, and if he gets in the ring with a guy who only knows how to box and can avoid a devastating punch, then he's got a good advantage.
The problem, of course, is avoiding the devastating punch...
