    How would Floyd fare in a BKB sanctioned bout?

    For those of you that don't know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Knockout_Boxing


    People always ask how he would do in MMA, and the defense to that was comparing apples and oranges. But what about BKB's version of Boxing without ring ropes and a much smaller ring?

    How does Floyd's defense translate in an environment like that. He likes to lean up against the ropes many times, and let the opponent punch while he fends it off and tries to counter. No rope here but it's still Boxing.

    Can "TBE" make the proper adjustments to this?



    Sidenote: I think Manny would do well. His style would work in an environment like that. Not a whole lot would change.

      Rosado/Vera wore normal boxing gloves from what I saw... Grant brand just like floyd

      He would maybe trip over the "rim" while moving backwards (therefore lose on points since each step outside is -1 point?) but other than that BKB is really just boxing.

            ruslan prov would be a machine in BKB since a lot of it seems to revolve around standing your ground and pressuring until your opponent backs up one step too far and falls on their ass

            but i definitely prefer the ring.. this isnt sumo wrestling

              Theyre are like F level fighters in BKB.

              Floyd would beat the **** out of their middleweight champion.

                Uh he is one of the best inside fighters of this era.

                He knows how to push off to get the distance to land meaningful power shots inside. He would have to adapt to no ropes but its not like he cant fight inside.

                  He would be average he needs large rings to move around doesn't have the power to keep guys off unless he uses Memo which he's using for Pac

                    People tend to not understand Floyd is as good an inside fighter as he is an out boxer. It's just alot easier for him to fight on the outside/middle of the ring. He would DOMINATE in BKB.
