Boxers have a better Defense of punches B/C that is the ONLY THING TO DEFEND!!!!

You clearly have missed my point. Its a thing called body and head movement, which most mma fighters don't use. I've seen the Liddell Ortiz fight, the ref stopped when all Liddell was hitting is elbows, which I'm sure it hurt but very few punches went to the head.
Look at what Randy Couture did against Sylvia, thats a perfect example of what body movement, foot movement, and head movement can do in mma. Not many people do that and so when not people do that, thus leading to a much better chance of a knock out.
Look at guys like Liddell, Cro Cop, Fedor, Barnett, Rampage. They all use foot movement and try to back up and time their strikes and also use it to defend strikes. Thats why their pretty succesful in mma.
You see most mma fighters don't incorporate boxing fundamentals with body movement and head movement. Its not easy because you can gas trying to do that, so you got to be in good cardio shape. But mma is more exciting because fighters aren't trying to use that kinda movement to avoid strikes, and they swing for the fences instead of getting out of the way of punches all the time.
