I think if a boxer were to study MT and train in it, he could do well. Its just like the good old days of full contact karate in the 70's and 80's. Boxers took a look at it, learned a few kicks and went at it.

They would win by ko most of the time, because until then, karate was never a contact art. It is now of course, in styles like Shorin-ryu and Kyokushin.
