Ever looked at a boxer and thought"I can take him"?

[SN!PER]

Sergio Martinez in his fight against Cotto

[firstborn]

Paulie seems top choice for everybody haha

Eh, those folks are probably significantly bigger than him....you know real tough guys.

[joe strong]

Tyson, Klitschkos, Lewis all ducked me for years. There is no way Lennox or the Klitschkos could get inside my 70" tex rex arm reach... I could beat them & my meat at the same time...We got tougher guys on the construction site...

[SplitSecond]

Guys like tyson and tua would frighten me. Difficult to knock out, pressing forward throwing bombs.

I would love to fight joshua, he has enough lack of a chin i'd like to bring the fight to him and try to spark him.

Nope. Never. Not once. These are the best of the best. The elite less than 1 fraction of 1% of the best athletes. Im 220 lbs, and I wouldnt hurt a PROFESSIONAL flyweight any more than any random dude is gonna Win 1 on 1 against even the worst player in the NBA. The worst NBA player, heck the worst NBA D-leauge player is in the top of the top elite of The World.

I'll throw Chocolatito around like a little Nicaraguan rag doll.

No u wouldnt.

Charlie Zelenoff for sure. But regarding real professional fighters in a boxing setting. No you wont beat them (well maybe the real small guys at minimum weight, if you are conditioned to fight for more than three rounds).

In our gym we had a boxer who was at one time german champion at 126 pounds and at first i couldnt catch him, but if you learn how to impose your size, it's not that difficult to fight on par with him (I was fighting at 147).
But german amateurs are not comparable with other nations who have a deep boxing culture, so I dont really believe I could compete with professional boxers who spend most of their life honing their boxing skills.

Still, I would like to have a go against Malignaggi lol.

There are retired pro boxers in their 50s and 60s who easily knocked out guys on the street who were half their age. It's a bad idea to challenge them.

^Exactly this. Only the elite of the elite, fraction of 1% are professional athletes in any sport. Some Drunk, sitting in his living room, doesn't have even a small chance of beating any of them in their sport (Im Talking ANY athlete, in their respective sport. Im not beating a professional ping-pong player either)

[Chuckguy]

Would you fight golovkin?
Can you outbox canelo?
Would you ko lil Floyd?
What you got armchair warriors!!!

I can take all in the same night. Ive never seen a boxer I don't think I can take

You know professional just means they get paid right? You don't have to be good to be a pro boxer, in fact you can be terrible and be a pro boxer. So you're saying you wouldn't stand a chance against some bum with 0 wins and lots of losses?
