Better for what? Street fighting? Cage Matches? If you want to box, boxing is best. If you wish to participate in MMA fighting, that would certainly be the training to go for. If you are looking for the best self defense, I would say MMA, but note that training MMA with the rigid rules might not be as effective as the study of a non-competitive martial art.
