Boxing is quite literally less than a quarter of the skill needed to make it in the sport of MMA.
Throw a boxer into the octagon with any mediocre MMA fighter and he will get his shit pushed in.

True, however the fact that you say "octagon" in reference to MMA shows how much you actually know about MMA.

Also true, although I would argue in both cases that both comparisons are to sports that are fairly similar in the general objective.
I do get sick of boxing fanboys or MMA fanboys trying to compare them and create conflict. Would a 150lbs boxer get destroyed in a MMA match with another 150lbs MMA fighter? Yes. Would that same MMA fighter get destroyed by that boxer in a boxing ring? Yes.
Would a snake kill a shark on dry land? Yes. Would a shark kill a snake in water? Yes. Would Michael Phelps crush Dwight Howard in the 100m butterfly... would Howard slam it in Phelps' face on the court? You can see how silly these questions become when they are allowed to slide down their already slippery slope starting with boxing vs. MMA.
Boxing vs. MMA, who cares? I have done both boxing and MMA and well... Judo is harder
