No. The biggest best boxer in history would get his ass kicked by an average MMA fighter. It has nothing to do with with skill level or power. Boxers are not trained to protect their legs at all. As soon as they get 'in the pocket' a good MMA fighter will kick the hell out of their legs, and if they rush forward with no wrestling or judo background a good MMA fighter will have the boxer on their back either submitted or eating elbows very quickly.
It's like saying who would win, the world's best knife fighter or an ordinary guy with a shotgun. Unless the guy with the shotgun agrees to only use it as a melee weapon, that world class knife fighter is about to be a big wet mess on the ground.
Now if Tyson trained for MMA when he was in his prime... that's a very different discussion.
