Boxing, in its own right can be considered a martial art. In addition, the answer to your question will be different depending on the boxer you choose and the martial artist you choose. For example, a 6 foot 5 inch tall, 300 lb man will be able to punch much harder than a 5 foot tall woman practicing wing chun.

Lets assume they are basically twins, because that is what I think you are getting at. You have to remember that there are MANY different types of Martial Arts, and many different styles of punches. The best demonstration I have seen to answer your question was an episode of a show called Fight Science. Boxing had a heavier punch in that situation: but like I said earlier they were different people.

Also, the heaviest punch is sometimes not the best. You can throw light punches to nerve endings in the body and do far more damage (or set yourself up to do more damage) than a very heavy punch that somebody can Dodge easily.

How would top UFC fighter stand up to top boxer?

If a boxer fought a mixed martial artist in mixed martial arts there is a pretty good chance of them loosing because of kicks, the clinch, knees, elbows, and the ground game. As for a mixed martial artist boxing a boxer, they would be sure to lose. Most mixed martial artists don't have the refined hands of a boxer because they must spend their time training on many other aspects of fighting. Boxers spend their whole time training their hands only.
