My best friend helps Nick Diaz in Stockton with the boxing and he's been coaching boxers out of Stockton for 14 years. He said it best.
"Nick can throw bombs. He's a decent welterweight with some pro bouts. But Boxers have a different stance and if you tackle a boxer, he's dead. On the flip side, a fast enough pro boxer would light up even the best MMA fighter assuming he didnt get tackled first. In UFC 1 there was a former IBF boxing champ who got tackled and killed by some retarded looking kickboxer. So the debate so far in my opinion is MMA 1 win, Boxing 1 loss!" V.
