Absolutely speechless at this list.... Are we even all watching the same sport... Using the term "boxing" doesnt have many meanings... Being a solid striker and stand up fighter...sure... but boxer? This list isnt even close...LMAO

James Toney ranked in 30's.... of all time best boxers in MMA? Ya umm ok...
James Toney was a world champion in multiple divisions in boxing...LMAO and he was one of the very best at one time... Theres not a fighter ever in MMA that comes close to James Toney as a 'boxer" no matter HOW hard we want to believe there has been or is... And its not even close ... by a looong ways out...

Best boxing in MMA, not best MMA fighters in boxing. There not the same thing. Which is were you missing the point. The list is about who has the best hands in MMA. There are plenty of elite boxers who would get knocked out if MMA gloves where used. MMA boxing is a lot different then straight boxing, which is the point of the list, is who has the best MMA boxing.

To my knowledge James Tony has never landed a single punch in MMA so his style of Boxing didn't really translate well to MMA. Personally I try not to break down MMA into individual components too much. GSP a guy with a karate background was taking down NCAA D-1 all American wrestlers with ease, Wilson reis was a world champion bjj guy and Mighty mouse submitted him, Robert Traven was an ADCC absolute champion a 2x BJJ world champion and Frank Mir submitted him while Mir was just a purple belt. James Tony is unable to apply his craft in the cage so as far as his boxing when applied to MMA it sucks.
