I used to wrestle and there are some advantages. I sparred with a competitive kickboxer once and he tried kicking me and got taken down with a single leg trip. Then I put him in a guillotine and it was over. Now when you look at Mayweather, you have to get inside of his block in order to take him down and his defense is supreme. And then there is the matter of him being used to fighting for 36 minutes not 15 or 25 which means his wind will be better in a MMA match than you think and that too helps his defense. Last, most boxers come off the streets. They have been on the ground.
