How many rounds can you go with a good boxer like cotto before you give up?
If anyone is willing to pay you 100,000 Pounds per round how do you think you would do personally??? Just curious...
i wouldnt give up...
im not sure what 100,000 pounds is in american dollars but i know its still a ton of money and i got super duper drunk last night and dont feel like converting it...
basically the ref/doc would have to stop it...i take the beatdown for the money...i'd have to either get knocked out cold or they'd have to stop it for safety reasons but i wouldnt quit willingly...
besides if such an oppertunity came for just an average person like myself it would be an honor to fight a top-tier boxer and be able to say i lasted X amount of rounds before it was stopped...
with every round i survive it would be exciting to me solely to the fact i could say i did it...
making it all 12 rounds would be as good as winning the fight to me...especially against a top p4p fighter...zelenoff couldnt last one round against a guy like hartley...so if i could last 4 rounds with cotto it would be amazing...haha
yep.
Thats about 185,000 dollars as of last week.
Depends who it is, if it was Paulie Malignaggi I'd stand there letting him hit me in the face continually until his hands break. Then he's mine....
idoubtit.....

Paulie Malanaggi, or howeva u spell it,
i would lose a 12 round lop-sided decision
Paulie Malignaggi still has 5 KO's in the professional rings. I'm not trying to offend you but I doubt a random poster on here is tougher/more elusive than all those 5 pro boxers he's knocked out.
I have a trainer who fights pro on European level, he has 7 knockouts out of 23 wins I think, and he can still hit very hard. People always seem to underestimate the power of pro boxers that don't have a 50+ KO%.
And that goes for probably 99% of the people on this board: if you think you can last 12 rounds with any championship level boxer, you probably haven't been in the ring often enough to know what you're talking about. The other 1% are either famous pro boxers that post here (like Iceman or possibly Malignaggi himself) or very experienced amateur figthers. (like PunchDrunk)
Probably one round. If me and the guy are at the same weight(in that case I'd be fighting some1 at Arce's weight) I think I cud go 3 rounds. I jus gotta watch for body shots. I've been punched in the face before(with gloves as well) and took it well. I'm in fair shape but never been nailed wit a real good bodyshot though. I'd have to be paid for this though.
Common some elite boxers get KTFO in the 1st round... that should tell you that many if not all of us have next to no chance of enduring 3 mins of punishment from any respectable boxer.

Only if he agreed to my pre-fight condition of a 40ft square ring, which I would use every inch of whilst running away for the whole of the first round, before retiring honourably on my stool. Even then, I wouldn't put my money on myself lasting the round.
This whole scenario reminds me of when they were making the film Royal Flash, in which Henry Cooper and Oliver Reed have a boxing match. Cooper was struggling to teach Reed, a crude pub brawler with no skills whatsoever, the fundamentals of the sweet science, but Oliver kept putting his head down and charging him. So Nosher Powell told Cooper to give Oliver a little tap on the chin the next time.
Henry did just that, and by all accounts Oliver nearly did a somersault as he staggered backwards. His head was spinning for the next few hours. Cooper had long retired by that point, and only him gave a half-hearted dig, but it just shows how those guys are on another level compared with us mere mortals.
Well...are you a pro boxer? If you are an amateur and Cotto decided to I would say he would stop ANY amateur in less than two...and if you are a pro you would have to , I assume, be better than all the guys he has already stopped in 1 or 2 rounds thus far in his career, right?
John, would you say my original post was fair? Give me your thoughts.
As a 6'7" 23 year old who weighs 190lbs, and has been in his fair share of dust ups, I'd like to say I could last a while.
But I would be kidding only myself. If they were paying me $100,000 per round I last, I know the money would be a huge incentive for me to last as long as I possibly could.
But at the end of the day, I'm in there with a guy who's a professional, even if I'm the bigger man, I say I can't take no more after 2 rounds. 3 if I'm really ballsy and/or lucky.
Would you say that is fair John?
Was this directed at me or someone else? Because I also stated that I could last 3 rounds, but I am not a non-boxer. If this was directed at me, I think it would be wholly one sided, but I still stand that I could last 2-3 rounds with Cotto.

You would be very surprised at how many people come through the gyms of this world from time to time actually thinking they can last with a pro boxer... it is insane... they see a pro working with a guy and they think they can do the same...you can spar with a one bout novice amateur and let him hang with your for five rounds as long as you don't try to hurt him....people think that means that if the pro was actually going all out then they could last too...because they are big, strong, muscled up, been in jail, know karate, have tattoos etc etc...but it is not realistic..if you have never fought before and sparred Miguel and he wanted you out of there quickly...you would be out of there quickly. It's not an insult to your manhood or your pride , it is just a realistic look at things. I had 49 pro fights, 70 amateur fights, have sparred thousands of rounds, have sparred more than 400 rounds just this year alone...but I know for SURE that I couldn't hit any of Randy Johnson's pitches, I wouldn't last more than twenty seconds on the ground with Chuck Lydell if he didn't want me to, and I couldn't beat Carl Lewis in the 100. And YOU cannot last three rounds with Miguel Cotto. It would be not only ridiculous but it would be an insult to him to even suggest a non boxer could hang with him.
Thanks ice for this well thought out post, I just wanted to know how people think they would do in there with a trained boxer and am glad a lot of them are actually been truthful about their chances.
I train 6 days per week and box in the amatuers at heavy weight and Superheavy.
I am 6ft 5 and walk around about 15stone/94kgs.
I would last about 30 seconds with Cotto.
I have sparred with pro boxers at middleweight and they can bang like fvck despite them being 4 stone lighter than me.
Anyone who aint aboxer who thinks they could last into a second round is deluding themselves, Her would hammer your body with shots that would break your ribs, if you dropped your hands he would knock you out.
And staying out of his way isnt an option either cause he would cut the ring off quickly and there would be no where to go.
ANother thing, I bet 98% of posters could do 12 rounds with Floyd Mayweather or someone similar without him throwing a punchg and they would land a glove on him.
Ive fought with guys over 19 - 20 stone and pro Light middle weight scottish champ too, never hurt yet, thats not a boast coz i got owned and embarresed!
But i dont mean keep away like u think i mean F*CKIN RUN! As in literlly run! Grab, foul the works remember how much money is at stake here!
