I recall an interview back when I was in high school with a guy from my hometown who was the reigning heavyweight kickboxing champion. This was back when Tyson was in his prime, feared by everyone in the business.
This guy, I'm sorry but I can't for the life of me remember his name, was asked what would happen if he and Tyson were placed in a ring. He basically said that if they were both allowed to use their specialties, he would knock Tyson out 9 times out of 10. A boxer would stand no chance against a skilled kickboxer able to use his feet.
I would tend to believe him and anyone who says a good MMA guy could take a good boxer.
