MMA is more versatile and it also incorporates boxing to an extent. But I would rather be a pro boxer than a pro MMA fighter....even in a street fight. MMA is sort of like being a jack of all trades, where you know a little bit of everything, a little wrestling, a little kickboxing, a little grappling, but you're a master of none. Whereas boxing is like you've mastered one thing but that one thing happens to be the foundation of almost every fighting system. In a street fight against a pro boxer, it wouldn't matter how many grappling techniques you know. You'd be knocked spark out before you even get him to the ground.
