This could be the dumbest topic on here, but...

Only if said slick boxer is fighting John the quiet man Ruiz. Anyone can beat him. seriously

[Technical_Skill]

Roy Jones did it.

My thoughts exactly

[nvme]

yer i rekon a person lik spinks or mayweather could beat em, if they trained ultra hard to gain more muscle to get a bit bigger. eg: mayb mayweather at 160pounds, but an efficient mayweather at 160pounds. n the heavy weight must b an average heavy weight.

My only comment is that you're going to have to try *MUCH* harder to come up with the dumbest topic on this site... this isn't even close and much more competitive offerings are being posted constantly

its not impossible at all. that kind of **** aint gonna work against high level boxers, hell no, but I dont see it at all impossible for a much lighter guy to handle a big guy.

I have been racking my brain for a month or so now to figure out if a fight such as this would even be competitive. Say a super slick boxer with great foot and hand speed were put in against a fringe heavyweight (26-10 record or something like that). Say the heavyweight doesn't have great boxing skills, strictly a ****er who hits pretty hard, but isn't very fast. Could someone like Spinks or Mayweather be able to jab and move for 12 rounds without being caught? Obviously their punches wouldn't do **** to the heavyweight, so they would constantly be having to (literally) run to get out of there, but if they were able to slip punches every so often, they could score with body shots.

I'm sure quite a few people are going to call me ****ing ******ed for even asking a question such as this, but it's been on my mind. Does anyone agree that it is possible, or am I kidding myself?

No, this won't work. Even though the guy would be slow(or slower) he would totally disregard the little guy's punch. And this is pretty much where it's over. He will just run up to the little guy and maul him into the ground.

Roy Jones did it.

Roy Jones was not that much smaller then Ruiz and his punch was hard enough to make Ruiz cautious.

We are talking about the guy who is likely to weight something like 70 pounds less (taking into accaunt that average HW is 220+ 6.2) and 6 inches shorter.

And the guy who lost his punch something like 2 division before.
