Okay, that last long post actually made sense.

My point the whole time was the difference that training makes, though. As a better example than the one that spawned this whole argument, I would sooner put money on a professional MMA fighter than on a professional boxer. Again, the MMA guy has been trained for a wider array of situations and will likely adapt faster to changing circumstances.

There's also the matter of how hard the individual trains. A pansy MMA fighter who only does it for something to do is NOT going to beat out a hard-ass boxer who's been training passionately for "that one moment" his entire life.
