"Wladimir, the Klitschkos, they're amazing. I like to watch them fight, especially Wladimir, but it's kind of boring. They are really good at what they do, but they are very careful. They don't go to the fight to finish the fight. They stay there in that safe strategy all the time. It's not the Mike Tyson time. Guys don't finish fights." - Junior Dos Santos

in a story by ESPN, the UFC Heavyweight Champion Says he can knock out the Boxing Heavyweight Champion.
What do you guys think? Do you agree, or is JDS overstepping it?
Another question who do you think in that anyone UFC, could beat boxing champions of today?

A guy who's good at BJJ in MMA will get trounced by a guy like Estima who has solely devoted his life to Jiu-Jitsu.
Same with boxing if you ask me. JDS is a great boxer but he's never fought anyone who has been even remotely close to the level of hands that he possesses so I can only imagine that if he was to face a far greater boxer than him in Wladimir, he would get convincingly beaten. Regardless of his skill, Wladimir's reach alone would give Junior a world of problems.
And can any of the high level boxers beat the champs in boxing? Probably not.. If I had to pick somebody I think everyone would agree that Anderson has to be the one you'd put your money on. Especially considering the division he'd be fighting in (Cruiserweight) is arguably the weakest in boxing.

although Wlad's chin has been called to question a couple of times, and JDS has the power to turn his chin.

JDS would get his ass whooped by Chris Arreola and probably by the Brazilian boxing team, nevermind Vlad.
Sefo stood toe to toe with Hunt but got brutalized by some can in boxing
it's a whole different ball game.

Wladimir Klitschko: (Boxing record) 58-3, 51 KOs equating to an 87.9% KO rate, all 3 losses were stoppages
Vitali Klitschko: (Boxing record) 45-2, 41 KOs equating to a 91.1% KO rate, 1 loss came due to a torn rotator cuff in which Klitschko had a significant lead on all scorecards and the other was a doctor stoppage in which Klitscko sustained a cut but was ahead on all judges scorecards.
JDS: (MMA record) 15-1, 13 KOs equating to an 86.7% KO rate, loss was via submission
Both Klitschko brothers have better KO percentages, over a longer career, in a sport that has fewer 1-punch KOs.

Anyone who thinks JDS could beat a Klitschko is a delusional biased idiot who shouldn't be allowed to discuss any sport ever again.

MMA boxing isn't like regular boxing. JDS would get overwhelmed by either of the Klitschkos, There are many reasons why this is true, you just need to know a little bit of the sport to find out.
