Boxing, they would win nearly all the time. I say nearly because anyone can get caught with 1 big punch.
In an MMA fight, the boxer would lose, they end up on the ground they're helpless and they would end up on the ground every time.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate how skilled boxers are, I believe boxing is the hardest sport in the world.
I think the next big thing you will see in MMA is them seriously training boxing, at the start brazilian jiu jitsu was king, then wrestlers, we've seen the muay thai fighters dominate pride, we've seen Lyoto Machida showing the world that karate and traditional martial arts aren't useless, next I think it will be boxing.
What I would really love to see is one of these world class boxers, of the likes that you mentioned LLL train nothing but wrestling for 6 months, 6 hours a day and training in a smart way then doing the same for brazilian jiu jitsu, some additional training to put it all together then see how they get on.
edit: I put that caveat in about training smart because even the best fighters can be moronic when it comes to training. Roger Gracie, arguably the best at BJJ in the world spent 90% of his time training BJJ leading up to his fight with King Mo, who is known for knocking people out, not surprisingly gracie got knocked the f*ck out.
