It is sick how good top end fighters are, you see it all the time guys look awesome then you watch them step up and they look nothing like what you saw before. Then you hear people here talk about guys who are like 35-1 or even like 24-4 like they are clowns, now records aren't everything, they can be padded and a bit deceiving but if you can beat 24 pro fighters against 4 defeats you are pretty good at boxing.
Agreed to all. It never ceases to amaze me. The same can be said about anyone who's ever competed at a relatively high level at anything at all. They're so good at what they do, they only look ordinary when they compete against their peers.
I often get annoyed when I'm watching a fight with some casuals. They invariably think what they're watching is somehow not that tough. If they only knew....
Makes me wonder, if Shaq just went right at Oscar to hurt him, would Oscar hurt him first? I don't know, I don't think its crazy.
Hulk Hogan told a story in his book about sparring George Foreman for charity. Said George took it really easy for 2 rounds, and then hit him in the shoulder with a half-ass left hook that numbed Hogan's right side. Dude quit right then.
Wow. Great little story. Hulk is a monster, too, even today. I'd say Big George, old as he is, can still kill a regular person with one punch. Ever notice how big his fists are? It's like he's wielding cinder blocks at the end of his arms. Makes you appreciate how tough a guy like Ali was.
Notice I didn't address the TS directly.
I didn't see the one with Roy. That must've been something. lol
One of my old coaches was Ricky Frazier, who won two NYC Golden Gloves championships. You reminded me of him when you brought up Jones. Ricky fought Roy in a very embarrassing performance, where he ran around the ring before he was TKOed in two. This was a man who looked like motherfucking Muhammad Ali against some pretty decent amateurs, long after his fighting days were over.

There was also one with Roy Jones that was real funny.
Now one to my real reason as to why I came in the thread~
Thank you thread starter for making me laugh so hard, I was literally laughing like an idiot for 90 seconds just from reading the title then laughed some more reading the post.
Then I laughed even more thinking about Pros vs. Joes.
So thanks for the laughs

I'll go first.........
Juan Carlos Burgos
Roman Martinez
Ricky Burns
Zab Judah
Marcos Maidana
Now I will only tell you this one more time punk so listen carefully:
Don't post here again! You got me Sugar Shane Mosley?!
There was a pretty interesting episode of "Pros Vs Joes," where the late Arturo Gatti sparred a heavyweight-sized dude. Gatti smiled the whole way through, like it was a joke (which it was). You could tell he was taking it easy on the guy, but it was still easy work.
In the same episode, former NFL running back Ricky Williams went up against three separate "Joe" linebackers. Two of them (smartly) tried going for Ricky's ankles. The third guy, who had been talking big, actually tried tackling Williams. Let's just say it was a bad move. lol

Same poster who started a pissy thread about people saying Ortiz is a quitter. So it's not disrespectful to say you can whoop on world class fighters, but it is disrespectful to say a fighter quit?
LoL, that's assuming that you could ever land a blow on them. We gotta super middleweight here in Detroit with only 4 pro bouts that would jam those words right back down your throat.
It's funny how these fools always gotta take it to the streets (because they have NO skill). You don't get paid fighting in the street, therefore the only conclusion that I can come to is that you are a fool. Only fools fight in the street for free.............. Rockin':boxing:
literally tried my best to make it clear that was sarcasm lol

In a street fight, I literally monster everyone under HW.
The force of my straight right is literally equal to the sum of Gennady Golovkin's, Sergey Kovalev's and Ricky Burns's crosses combined. The power of my left hook literally broke the psi machine.
The better question would be could you beat a much smaller professional..like me, I'm 6-2 210.. I'm pretty sure I could rag doll a bunch of 120 lb fighters but their speed would still fu** me up and they would definitely land some shots for sure. I can handle myself but I wouldn't like my chances against any professional that fights at 140 or above honestly..maybe Paulie cause he would beat me up for like 25 minutes and I'd walk away without a mark on me ;)
they'd all slap you like you were a bewildered retard, get real man.
what a huge, ignorant and overzealous thought you've had.
with your lack of respect I could see us lasting not even a day if we got together to train.
quit wasting our time and bandwidth with your BS fantasies................ Rockin':boxing:
If he feels he could beat them, I don't see what the problem is. Can there not be up and coming boxers that possess the skills to beat some of these guys?
I weigh about 175. Guys like Keith Thurman and Maidana would drag me. I'm not ashamed to say it. I don't think I can beat any professionals around my weight just like I'm not beating any nba players 1 on 1.
