Also, like I said before, if you check out a place where they take people of all studies and let them duke it out, you'll see I'm right. Stop being condescending as well, it's pissing me off.
Anyways, on top of being in shape (which is the most important) boxing/wrestling/grappling I'd say are the best way to win a fight.

Not all martial artists use pads. These are the only pads I've ever used sparring.

Less than the gloves boxers wear. Hell, even amateur boxers wear head gear.
Martial artists really don't really study much from books. For the most part, martial arts are about doing. Reading is not doing.
Even if boxing and wrestling are superior forms or martial arts, it does not change the simple truth that someone who has puched a million or more punches will be better off than someone who has maybe punched a wall in anger once or twice.
You never addressed this:

Besides most martial arts share techniques. Which means the majority of martial artists study a form of martial arts that is (in part) used by the military.
