Actually I feel like boxers do have an advantage in "punching power," which is completely irrelevent to strength muscle-wise. In terms of overall strength, core strength, mass, arm strength, it's hard to determine a stronger individual without actual comparison. However, "punching power" is a complete different formula. It's not something you can actually train by lifting weights as much as it is something that is more focused on technique improvement. So I don't think it's wrong of the boxers to assume that they have more punching power since they are more technical. But it's hard to determine a superiority between MMA and Boxing. It's like that cliche, there's no better discipline there's only the better fighter. MMA has technical non-knockout artists, and Boxing has those guys too.

I'm going with Nog and Mir.
