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

Dude, you have 26 posts and they're all Mayweather threads.

He's my favorite fighter.

You know there's a Mayweather sticky thread in NSB right? You can post all Mayweather related topics over there.

Head movement and good defense will shut down the average street fighter with a quickness.

It's like their courage and strength drains right out of their bodies when they realize they can't hit you but you can hit them.

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..

try shoulder rolling your way out of a double leg takedown

His footwork and speed would be a massive help.

Against several guys? Having legs like Johnny might be a better option.

Ideally you have to believe that Mayweather's defense, footwork, accuracy, technique, and experience will be more than enough for just about any guy in a fair fight (no weapons).
