Es gab in den letzten 150 Jahren drei namenswerte Kämpfe zw. Boxern und Ringern. 3:0 für die Ringer:
"The first major encounter between a boxer and a wrestler in modern times took place in 1887 when John L. Sullivan, then heavyweight boxing champion of the world, entered the ring with his trainer, the Greco-Roman wrestling champion, William Muldoon, and was slammed to the mat in two minutes. The next publicized encounter occurred in the late 1890s when future heavyweight boxing champion Bob Fitzsimmons took on European Greco-Roman wrestling champion Ernest Roeber. Reportedly, Roeber suffered a fractured cheekbone in this bout, but was able to get Fitzsimmons down on the mat, where he applied an arm lock and made the boxer submit. In 1936, heavyweight boxing contender Kingfish Levinsky and the veteran professional wrestler Ray Steele competed in a mixed match, which Steele won in 35 seconds. In all three of these 'mixed-matches', the wrestler won."

Dumm gelaufen oder ist Ringen für nen Free Fight besser geeignet als Boxen? Sullivan und Fitzsimmons waren immerhin Schwergewichtsweltmeister und sind Legenden.
Fitzsimmons gelang es dem Ringer das Jochbein zu brechen, der jedoch brachte ihn auf den Boden und gewann doch.
