Boxing cause it's good against more opponents, hit and run, in and out.
wrestling and grappling are cool but really you have to be occupied with only one person for those and if the friends of the opponent decide to join in you stuck in there with more people on you who will overwhelm you so it's a wrap.

Jiu .Jitsu...because once it's on the ground it's over for the person with no bjj knowledge.
Unless someone scores a clean one hit knockout the boxer is in trouble once someone closes distance on him..

A boxer's only chance is catching the wrestler/BJJ practitioner on their way down for a takedown, past that point, it's over. The fact that people are still debating this after Art Jimmerson & James Toney is wild.

If you're good in boxing, you can humiliate someone easy. Head movement and knowing alone is a different galaxy. jujitsu can get really fukked up too...they wouldnt understand how they got put in such a position.

Muay Thai(Thai boxing) would be best then boxing right after.
Muay Thai/boxing you can take on multiple people and much quicker to finish the fight. BJJ and wrestling not so much. Plus size difference wouldn’t matter to much but it matters a lot in the grappling disciplines.

definitely Boxing. Wrestling is great in close range and it's good to be able to grapple/stay balanced on your feet and not be able to be taken down.
Being able to read punches, distance, and footwork will put you levels beyond the general public.
The ground is the LAST place you want to go though.
BJJ is useful of course however, it has been mystified to DEATH by mma, not everything you see on the ground is damn BJJ, it's mostly wrestling. The high level grapplers in MMA use WRESTLING. It's actually funny when they commentate and mention how good a guy's grappling is and credit it to BJJ...and then you find out the guy was an all american NCAA wrestler. Or how (insert fighter name) is a brown belt in bjj...and then they just casually mention that they come from a wrestling family and have been wrestling since like 7 or some shyt lol.
High level wrestlers can pretty much neutralize and out grapple most bjj black belts using their wrestling alone.
They give out these bjj belts like candy, and all american pedigree level wrestlers are not doing much to attain them. It's crazy how people are still stuck in the 2000's with the BJJ > mentality, that has already been exposed...but the UFC (because of Gracie legacy) and the countless BJJ schools across North America will continue to perpetuate it, it's a huge industry now.

Dumb question in a real fight anything you can defend yourself with is useful
Also it depends on the terrain
If you are in an empty parking lot its boxing
If you are in an elevator jiujitsu

Thats false what you see in mma mostly is grappling not wrestling
Have you ever seen a wrestling match lmao
Bjj beats wrestling
Why do you think wrestlers never take maia down
Chael sonnen gets submitted everytime he wrestles a black belt
Bjj guys want to fight off their back thats what the whole art is based on
Traditionsl jiujitsu has strikea take downs and the ground holds

The majority of the UFC roster, and TOP guys have highschool and college wrestling as their core skill set, bjj is just an add on. Just go down the list and see what they started with at the core. They say a college level wrestler is already able to grapple with a bjj "brown" belt without even knowing a LICK of bjj...
Maia is a bad example for your argument. Why hasn't Maia been able to effectively use his BJJ against top wrestlers recently? It is easily washed. Maia also has shoot/takedown techniques that are not traditionally BJJ.
You are correct in that the majority of bjj taught is STRICTLY for fighting off of the back.
I will Jiu Jitsu isn't all on the ground...
You can take someone down without going to the ground as well by throwing .

A lot of wrestlers are in mma because there is no way to make money wrestler
What you actual see in mma is not wrestling
There is no ground and pound in wrestling nobody starts the match in the wtestling stance they all train jiujitsu
Nobody is using just wrestling in the ground in mma
Chael sonnen even said mma grappling is bot wrestling

The Gracie's have answered this question a long time ago.
