Comments Thread For: Belfort on Mayweather in MMA: Even 14, 15 Year Olds Beat Him

[j.razor]

Demetrious Johnson aka Mighty Mouse the UFC 125lb Champ has always been more of a boxer vs a classic MMA fighter in the cage and he's Champion so I don't know where people get the whole Floyd don't have a chance BS.

There is also plenty video's on YT showing amateur MMA fighters getting their azz kicked by regular Joe's...

All Floyd would really have to do is avoid take downs. He already has much better conditioning then every fighter in the UFC. Then people are totally ignoring the fact that the MMA guy he just fought said himself that Floyd COULD compete in the UFC with his skill.

Its an image they created cuz they mad at Floyd....just like they created the image that he isn't T.B.E. & want to put everyone ahead of him. Sucks for them sore losers.

Belford is right. Floyd would lose to 14 and 15 year olds. And it doesn’t matter what kind of hands you say Floyd has. And Floyd might lose within 30 seconds.

14 and 15 year olds won’t beat him. I boxed for 5 years as an amateur when I took Karate and once I learned how to check kicks I was a White Belt beating up red belts black belts who were 17 year old teens when I was 25. The funny thing is the instructor would not put me in there to spar his 2 adult black belts he knew I would embarrass them as a White belt beating up black belts he couldn’t have it. Once you learn their kicks it’s easy to side step them. People ask how can I see kicks coming I told them a punch comes at a much faster speed

Dude, ive been telling people 4 a long time, the difference between boxing and traditional martial arts is the sparring. Boxers spar the hardest making them tougher than most.

He seems to forget any boxer with 4oz gloves only needs a shot that could take a split second to end the fight against guys who can’t box like mma guys.

yeah, but its not gonna be as easy as it sound!!

floyd is not going to be comfortable waiting to counter with 1 shot.

floyd is gonna have to worry about getting taken down, kicks, knees, etc. all these things come into play.

and there's no telling that floyd will end it with 1 shot. we dont know that, even with 4oz gloves. if its that easy, it would have been done already.

It's no secret that Floyd ruined Vitors career. He's just salty

[Raggamuffin]

Considering that Conor won the first 3-4 rounds of a 10 round fight, I would say that's competitive.

The point is, Mayweather could never look that competitive under MMA rules.

The fight wasn’t competitive.

Also the conditioning, top level boxer gonna have waaay better stamina than your average UFC fighter. MG was done by the 5th rd

This is part of the danger of surrounding yourself with "yes men". They all tell you that you look great in training and sparring MMA fighters. Boost your confidence. I'm sure a middle-tier MMA fighter will handle Floyd easily only if they are fighting by full MMA/UFC rules. But, I have a feeling some rules will be adjusted or changed to accommodate Floyd and lure him into the Octagon. He's not that ******.

Floyd has awful footwork when it comes to a more realistic fight scenario, these guys would take him down whenever they want.

Lets see how good the stamina holds up over for 5x5 minute rounds having someone slamming you to the floor, pushing you up against the cage, elbowing, and kneeing you to the face.
