I would take the average competitive boxer over the average MMA competitor in an MMA match even. I've trained with average MMA guys. They cannot cope with a guy who has even mediocre boxing level striking skills.
It's the angles, pressure, being able to deal with being hit better, and the speed. MMA fans look at anderson silva and they think he's fast. Put him in with a top ten boxer and he won't look so fast. Boxers are faster and can go longer. Some muay thia and kickboxers can hang standing though.
