would i have a chance?

i could lose 80 lbs and be the giant of fly weights...:puke: , theyre be plenty of that stuff to make that possible

anyone see pros vs joes with roy jones? the joes were all like 6'2 well over 200 pounds, and roy made them look like complete pussies. although none of these guys seemed to have any boxing experience, roy could easily make it look that way. they didnt want nothing to do with it by the 3rd or 4th shot roy landed on their domes despite all the trash they talked about the size difference. ha 1 guy goes wow roy your little. i was kinda disapointed actually, no one even stood their ground at least.

it's very different, when jens pulver ( my favorite MMA fighter ever ) left martial arts for a while and became a pro boxer he said it was a lot harder than MMA and after only 4 fights ( he won them all ) went back to MMA. jens is punchy now, i think it's because of the damage he took when he was boxing. boxing is harder than MMA, the fights are longer, the gloves have more padding so u get more brain rattling shots oh its def more brutal, i can tell the difference between the guys i box with and the guys i kickbox with.. the boxers are a little more tapped and appear more like fighters the other dudes appear to be every day ppl, you really dont get that much head trama in KB.your exactly right about the brain damage from boxing, thats why shane mosley wants kids to stop wearing headgear, it only keeps you standing longer to take more head trauma. correct me if im wrong but dont way more people die from boxing today then the bare knuckled days? bare knuckling is SIMILIAR to a real fight, i mean how many kids have you seen in a street fight die that only involved fists and stops when the kid hit the ground? the bare knuckle fights only lasted a round or two, compared to todays boxing that usually go 20 to 30 minutes.

You'd get knocked the fuck out....how u gonna insult a pro... take ya azz to the store and buy me an iced tea.... first of all, i have mad respect for any professional athlete, especially boxers, and i didnt come off like im some tough guy who thinks they could actually do this, the part about going after roy was a joke, and anyways i was confident i would lose to any pro, if you actually read my post instead of stop at dude vs pro u would see that. idk man its a pretty valid question... if i landed a few lucky shots i could do some damage, i mean its very very highly unlikely-but i mean im talking about outweighing a guy by like 70 pounds and a 6 inch reach advangtage... the ice tea part is just over the top(to add to it, it doesnt really make any sense either, just seemed like a weak attempt to belittle me). its not like im asking if i could roll with james toney.. like im saying ive never fought a professional thats why im ASKING amateur heavyweight vs pro lightweight isnt that rediculous or insulting.. who do you think pros spar with? most likely not all of them have a professional career in boxing, . sorry bro ps u must have let all the ***s over the internet(not here u no who i mean) u no, the internet warriors who talk all that shit get to your head and make you believe that everyone on line is some fat deush bag who could never have a shot at doing anything great..uve never met me how u gonna tell me what i can and cant do

oh no offense taken at all, if u see my first post i predict i will die, but i was fighting at 155lb 4 months ago, and personally dont think ive slowed at all at 205, just became alot stronger. i was pretty quick too, my sparring partner then was a legit black belt(10 years plus) from my school, not some 'hey heres a black belt for 200 dollars kind of deal', i understand the belt system has no merit and was created entirely as a way to give little kids an incentive to stay with it, but anyways hes from the philipenes, about 5'8" 145 pounds, reminds me of bruce lee. hes really really good at point sparring but he just started boxing. any solid punch i landed when i weight 160ish would send him reeling, and that began my thought on the subject. we usually kickboxed as well, if i landed a solid roundhouse up top it would be all over. im trying to figure out how much different kickboxing and boxing really are it's very different, when jens pulver ( my favorite MMA fighter ever ) left martial arts for a while and became a pro boxer he said it was a lot harder than MMA and after only 4 fights ( he won them all ) went back to MMA. jens is punchy now, i think it's because of the damage he took when he was boxing. boxing is harder than MMA, the fights are longer, the gloves have more padding so u get more brain rattling shots

yea i mean really, on espn they were saying boxing is just waiting for someone to step in to the heavyweight division, its just pathetic now, but, i could do 175 then i could go after Roy :boxing: but back to my orignal question, if i stepped in the ring right now with a professional welter or middleweight, say maybe same height same reach (72) how do you think it would go down? welters and middleweights are fast, probably faster than you. i hope your technique is good and u know how to cover up. i was an amatuer boxer, i sparred with a club fighter a couple times, that guy handed me my ass the first time. that's probably how it would go down for u, i'm not trying to piss u off, but these guys are professionals, all they do is practice fighting. u'll probably find out u need better skills

floyd all the way tonite right? Mayweather by 10th Round TKO.

floyd all the way tonite right?

lol. Well, if you train I'm sure it's worth trying. But, it'd need to be more than just a hobby. It needs to be your life.

You'd need to be 147 pounds to make welterweight in pro boxing. If you got down to 175 pounds, you'd be light-heavyweight. Or, you could fine-tune your skill sand be decent in the weak ass heavyweight division. yea i mean really, on espn they were saying boxing is just waiting for someone to step in to the heavyweight division, its just pathetic now, but, i could do 175 then i could go after Roy :boxing: but back to my orignal question, if i stepped in the ring right now with a professional welter or middleweight, say maybe same height same reach (72) how do you think it would go down?

cool, do you mean lose weight down to 175? sorry if i mis understood you, im just trying to figure out if an amateur of my status would get his ass beat by someone professional a few weight classes lower. i was fighting at 155 for a while, then i gained all this weight all of a sudden this summer. i do much better with this weight cause i like to work the clinch, but who know maybe i should try 190 Ill take boxing as far as it can go, im still young, i like it as a hobby but id go pro if i get good enough, but do you think id do much better as a middleweight? I guess i can see its better to be the bigger guy in your weight class then just make the cut at 200 pounds or so. who knows now i mean im the same size as joe frazier in his prime and he did fine as a smaller heavweight, although the games different now so theres no telling. and then again, im not joe frazier You'd need to be 147 pounds to make welterweight in pro boxing.

hey hows it goin this is my first post, my name is mike im 20 and i train out of brockton, MA. ive been training more or less for the past 10 years in martial arts, and for the last couple of years ive been been boxing and doing full contact kick boxing. I would consider myself excellent in kempo, and above average in technique, speed, agility, and so on for boxing. Aright so im half way decent. sparring with certain people usually goes my way. If im 6 foot, 205 pounds, how would i fair against a professional lightweight or welterweight? Would I have a chance? this may seem like a stupid question, but the best fighters at my gym are my size or much bigger and usually beat me with ease. one of my sparring partners was new england kick boxing super heavyweight champ, he odviously could destroy me, but ive never fought anyone highly proffecient under 175 pounds or so in a long time. So how would an average amateur cruiser or heavyweight boxer, who has the stamina to go 12 rounds, do against say eric morales or someone a little bigger? i personally think id get my ass beat. sorry if i posted this in the wrong place peace. At 205, you'd be a heavyweight in terms of boxing. You're 6", so you could make, 175 or so, I'd assume. That might help you out.
