First, work on medium range techniques and punching combinations along with your footwork, defense, and ability to slip punches. Fights that go to the ground you have your wrestling and grappling skills for but not all fights do. Secondly your opponent must close the distance with you to take you down and if you have better striking/punching skills and foot-work you can then make him pay every time he moves within range to try that. Also with those superior skills you can more easily take the fight to him, backing him up if you want and just pick him apart or if you want, shot on him and try to take it to the ground yourself if that is best.
A good jab or double or triple jab, a good one two combination, along with good foot work will really dictate a lot of things in your favor, Body shots while being effective leave your head and face a little exposed so you probably want to be more of a head-hunter. Having a good short hook to the body or head along with a good short upper cut to the chin during the clinches or once the distance has closed would also be valuable tools to have when you are both tied up and trying to gain a position of advantage over one another. Jabbing and punching as you move backwards back out of those clinches and moving back at angles would also be good tools to have in your tool bag as well.

Muay thai is great with offence and defence when it comes to elbows, knees, clinching, kicking. They do incorporate punching, but a good boxers hands are going to be better than a good muay thai guys hands any day of the week. Boxers also have great foot work, movement, and defence from punches. They basically compliment each other in the standup department.

Teach grappling and takedowns. They're important in every full contact sport (exept boxing). Instead of looking at what you can teach, look at what you can also learn...

teach him to sprawl....if a boxer has a good takedown defense and can sprawl pretty well you can rock the other person's world with combos while they are trying to get up.
other than that direct him to grappling training.(gotta learn how to defend from kicks too)
