Anybody here think they could take floyd mayweather in a street fight?

[larryx]

wow! I pushed a botton. If your a man of your word, I would be more than happy to battle for your house. How many rooms does it have? Do you have a garage? I would need one to hang up my heavy bag...I'm thinking this might be a risk but it sounds like a good one! I have a fighters chance at the least. it's worth the risk. Well, maybe what state do you live?

son, what gym do you train at? How old are you? I'm betting I have more training in the sport of boxing than you do walking on this earth..lol.. I'm always willing to learn more though. What gym do you train at?

im 25 (birthday was yesterday) and i train at brotherhood boxing in queens ny. its cool that you box too- i just assumed you'd have more respect for world champion-caliber boxers if you had a fighting background. just the jump from novice to open caliber fighters is drastic enough, let alone from open to pro, let alone pro to prospect, prospect to contender, contender to champion, champion to unified champion, unified to multi-weight division champion etc. i have watched elite welterweight pros spar top amateurs in the open rankings and not been punched once.

i understand what you're saying about street fighting being different, though. my friend who does muay thai always dominates boxers in mma sparring with leg kicks, but as soon as the boxer trains for muay thai a little, they learn to defend those leg kicks and become much tougher, because their hand skills are so superior and they aren't so vulnerable. i know just from all the roadwork and jump roping i do, my shin splints get bad and if i were to get kicked by one of these monstrous leg kickers, it would be BAD. although id never compete in mma or muay thai, after i retire my amateur boxing career, i may train in the basics of jujitsu and muay thai, just so i can handle myself in a more all-around way if need be.

i still think that the hand speed of an oscar de la hoya or pbf-caliber fighter would be something that 99.99% of the worlds fighting athletes have NEVER seen before from the receiving end, and it would be very tough to beat them in a street fight, although it is silly to predict who would win in these hypothetical situations, partly because it can never be known until it happened. street fighting is unpredictable and even though mma isnt streetfighting, it is close, and none of those mma pros ever go undefeated because there are too many variables to account for....

He would beat me down. Better fighter, better athletic build.

First of all, "happy birthday." I have to say, it's true...I was thrown in the ring before you walked this earth. I'm 35 and started boxing in elementary. It sounds like you understand the "fight game." It's very true. There are so many layers of skill in the "fight game." including at the pro level. If anybody respects the game and the skill, hart,and commitment it takes, it's me. I've sparred with many pro's at different levels. Many beat the **** out of me including the one you have ranked as your #5 favorite fighter. He loves beating up his sparring partners! lol..no matter how small they are. I'm from the old school. Now theres so called pros out there that are bums too. Just because your pro doesn't mean your good. Yes Floyd is great, the highest level. he would destroy me at will in the ring. But as you realize there are so many other angles to deal with in a street fight. Especially if someone has a well rounded backround in other combat arts. By the way, anyone training in Queens I respect. Queens knows boxing.

well if trained pros struggle to hit floyd id like to see some street punk have a go, he'd break their nose- and thats the best scenario for them

wow. sparring james toney would be amazing, no matter how bad he whooped on ya. i wish james toney kicked my ass, haha.

[KostyaTszyu44]

naw bra i box a lil but im no fool..its a reason everyone isnt all time greats..weight applies to pros..but the average pro 147 fight would phuck up a 200 pound non boxer

exactly......
weight usually only transfers to a big advantage when two highly trained, evenly skilled boxers go at it, a well trained experienced 112 lber would 9/10 make a 200 lb streetpunk look ridiculous

[KESSLER]

Sure. If by street fight you mean I get to run him over in my car, I'd like my chances....

Floyd would shoulder roll your car.
