There are some dope looking NBs, but that big hideous "N" logo has held me back from ever picking up a pair.

I think you would prefer to post gifs on the internet rather than have any actual confrontation.

Multiple boxers have got into the ring...multiple boxers have gotten beaten.
It's two different fighting styles. For example, in Boxing you leave your lead leg out that in order to draw power from your hips...you do that in MMA, you get that leg taken and boom you're on your back...taking multiple elbows to the face...In wrestling, they don't throw hands so they often leave their jaw exposed and their hands down. IN Mauy Thai...well a good Muay Thai fighter is generally prepared for a MMA fight...they clinch and throw elbows and knees, their takedown defense is pretty good, but if they do go to the ground anyone kind of skilled in BJJ will take them to the cleaners...
None of this matters in a street fight, I mean some boxing skill will help but I've seen many an MMA fighter get rocked in a street fight.
OH...and I think you dodged the question...like I said, I live on 3708 Warwick blvd...holla at me...

In a boxing match. Chuck is a striker,correct? He could never hang with someone who actually knows to box. Which brings me to my point. MMA fighters couldn't make it int he actual sport they "train" in. Not talking mélange of 8 different disciplines where they roll around on the ground for three rounds.

you never specified in a boxing match. ok sure.
also, not all martial arts are "sports" bruh. so mma is not a mashup of several different sports. you sound like your equating mma to a sport combining football and baseball.

I'll say this..I have a strict definition for sport, the definition you find on the interwebz is way to broad...it can easily include things like Chess and video games...not that there is anything wrong with them, I love playing chess and video games make a lot of money but I wouldn't classify them as sports...IDK why it's so important to be a "sport" just do whatever you do not everyone needs to play a sport...and you don't have to play a sport to be an athlete
Sport - two or more teams competing on the field of play at the sametime, competing over the same object, trying to get that object in their respective scoring areas...
to include
Football, basketball, soccer, tennis, hockey...a few more
Competitions - two or more people competing for points or for positions which can be ended by one person achieving whatever is the goal of the competiton (etc. knocking someone out, trapping an opponents king etc.)
Competition - Damn near everything else
So to me MMA is not a "sport" but that doesn't mean it doesn't get my respect, I know a lot of dudes that fight MMA, thought about getting a fight myself...

Actually I did. I know not all martial arts are sports. Never said they were. I also never called MMA a sport. I said the opposite. I said a mélange of disciplines, which it is. Most fighters train in one of the three actual sports I mentioned and like I said they could never make it in that actual sport.

MMA and boxing guys have the same level of endurance, but more skills in their arsenal. I'm sorry but all things being equal, MMA has the edge.

it comes down to the amount of tools each fighter has. a skilled mma fighter knows how to use everything. a boxer has less weapons in the arsenal. its that simple. obviously certain fighters are stronger in varying areas but overall an mma fighter has more options. in a fight the mma fighter will always have the edge.
now in a boxing match the result is different.
but a boxer vs anyone with decent wrestling and heavy hands? cmon fam.
