Yes, even though MMA fighters strike in their sport, so it wouldn't be AS MUCH of a disadvantage as if a boxer had to grapple, but there are still so many subtleties to boxing that it's still a huge disadvantage for an MMAer to "box" against, especially a boxer as experienced as Mayweather.

In a strict boxing match I see no way McGregor could stand a chance.

I use to be a Mayweather hater, but after watching his last few fights I see how great he truly is.

Would ya'll say it is easier for a boxer to transition to MMA or someone with skill in Jiu Jitsu or wrestler (grappling) would transition to boxing.

From what I understand, Boxing is the hardest sport to train for, but I do not know.

I'd consider a pure boxer more frightening in any fight outside a ring than any MMA fighter.
