Usman wants to fight Canelo Alvarez for a big money boxing match.

What say you to a UFC fighter's chance of beating a first class boxer in a boxing match?

I say the there's no way. Just as Mayweather beat McGregor a few years back, the boxer will prevail. And Mayweather was at the tail end of his career and still carried McGregor easily for ten rounds. Canelo and Usman are both in their prime so IMO it'll be just as easy for the boxer v a UFC fighter.

No way at all Usman wins in a boxing ring. In an MMA cage? Yeah, Usman wins that all day, but Canelo would have no interest in crossing over to MMA. Why would he?

Your thread title says it all "big money." Since Conor McGregor made a reported $100 million by fighting Floyd Mayweather, many MMA fighters have started calling out boxers. They could make 10 times more money that way.

MMA fighter know the real money is in boxing not the comparative chump change they make in MMA fights so they call out boxers. Top boxers will beat the pants off of any of them in a boxing match where the big money is.

Boxing is preferable to me over all that boring time on the canvas in MMA.
