With rules to be followed, most MMA fighters wouldn’t last 3 rounds with a well trained boxer.

Anderson the Spider Silva vs Floyd Mayweather
I’d pay $200 to watch that fight.

MMA is NOT boxing. It is street fighting. Boxing is an art of self defense.

Of course not. If you take away the majority of the MMA fighter's tools how can anyone expect it to be competitive?
Conversely, if the boxer has to defend takedowns, submission attempts and head/body/leg kicks, he'd get destroyed.

Randy Cotoure vs. James Toney (who was actually holding a HW boxing title at the time)
The fight went to the ground quickly and Couture completely dominated Toney.
In a pure boxing match (no grappling, submissions, etc.), of course the boxer has the advantage. Take the fight to the ground and out of the boxer's comfort zone, the more well-rounded fighter will defeat the fighter who is skilled in a single discipline that requires both fighters to be standing in order to be effective.
The boxer must land a first or 2nd punch KO in order to have the advantage vs. a skilled MMA fighter.
