In a real fight, would being able to box like Floyd Mayweather help you?

Yeah but you have to have fast feet. I would only try that if it was just some guy running in throwing straight punches catch one roll one right hand left hook but if he's just gonna take you down then no it won't work.

I wasn't talking about street fighting grappling. I was talking about anyone with basic wrestling, judo, or Ju Jitsu skills. Yup they are trying to break your fuking arm. I've unfortunately caught glimpses of the guys training MMA at my gym and it makes me queasy. Call me a homophone or whatever you want, but I'm not comfortable being that close with a sweaty dude. Also I talk with and train with boxers and MMA fighters and one thing the MMA fighters have said is that one thing they fear is a good boxer. If you imagine Manny Pacquiao in a cage I think he would be effective just because his footwork, reaction time, and athleticism blow away any MMA fighter.

No...Or only if the guy is not armed (with a knife or gun)..And if the guy doesn't use his kicks or decides to take you on the ground... There's no refs , no rules in a real fight. a guy can kick you in the balls , bite you , eye gouge you...You name it. Mayweather's style can be effective. But only if the guy you're fighting (for some reason) , decides to only attack you with punches and nothing else...No dirty tricks , no kicks or wrestling , no weapons..etc.. I got into a fight with a friend I new was a better much boxer then me and he was taller by about 5" because I'm Gavin Reese tall, but I'm very strong and it helps me wrestle so I slammed him to the ground and beat the crap out of him.

Hit and not get hit, works in or out of the ring.

Defends what kind of street fight it is, but its usually the person that connects the first hard punch that usually win in street fights.:boxing:

I still don't understand whats gay about trying to choke someone unconscious or Break someone leg? Please explain to me why you have gay thoughts when you see people grapple because Im heterosexual and i sure as hell don't think about gay sex when i see people wrestling or grappling. So in otherwords what the fuk is wrong with you. Look at your avatar. The chubby dude has an arm between his legs, on his crotch. And he's hugging it tightly. :no:

He'd getchoked out rather quickly. You average MMA guy is going to get hit multiple times before he gets anywhere near that close , hell with a years tuition he might even beat elite MMA fighters , put you best MMA guys his size in a boxing ring with Floyd and see what happens and I don't think you have a MMA fighter that can box elite in form boxers , they can only beat old shot or fat ones . Your better off in a WWE and MMA forum .

Yes it would help you, you could run and duck like no other. And check left hook a bum into a slot machine.

Discuss.:boxing: Reported. Worthless troll.

put floyd on a cage against any average mma fighter of his weight and see what happens.... He'd getchoked out rather quickly.

having Mayweather's reaction speed and timing would help you beat 99.999% of streetfighters. It's pretty easy to beat the average dude if you can dodge his punches and counter with precision.

If you think about it, most if not all fights involve someone attacking another person. Any fighter with any amount of training isn't going to walk the streets attacking people, because they at least have a certain amount of respect for fighting. Anyone dedicated enough to train is going to be educated about fighting. When is the last time you heard of two trained fighters getting into a street fight? We're talking about a self-defense situation here (Not talking about staged youtube brawls). The opponent in question is going to be someone who is ignorant to the point that they aren't going to know how to fight properly, and therefore will not be able to handle any type of trained offense, let alone slip punches and counter, etc. So in that case, yes, Floyd would look like Superman in a street fight.

Street fight grappling is gay. They aren't trying to choke each other or break legs, they just rub on each other after taking their shirts off. I wasn't talking about street fighting grappling.

When I was growing up it was very common for people to knuckle up against each other and fist fight. Boxing like Floyd definitely would help in that scenario. But this new generation likes to tackle and wrap their legs around each other like gay lovers due to the MMA guys they see on tv. Boxing styles won't help as much against that. Ive seen a bunch of ex 10 round fighters that have nothing on an elite fighter and these guys smash street tough guys heads to a pulp in the first minute , one guy was a former WW commonwealth title holder and if he got in first in a street fight it was all over he also won a national kick boxing title , one combo bare knuckle and he breaks faces , and lots of boxers can wrestle , street fights are mostly about who gets in first , that's why the rats resort to sneak going a guy if they can .

If it's one on one and the other guy isn't experienced then yep it should be beneficial.

Naw knowing how to box and avoid punches couldnt possibly help you in a fight
