Do you think roided up bodybuilders can fight?

[illphillip]

Serious question though, would Mayweather be able to beat Klitschko

Wait, so "what if Lebron was 8'9 and 500lbs" wasn't a serious question?

Dude.....it's like 2 posts above you.....Or are you suggesting LeBron is as skilled a boxer as EITHER Klitschko?

Size only matters in boxing when the skill level is roughly the same. THAT is why there are weight classes.

mayweather is the best boxer in the world, of course

Floyd would want no parts of LeBron in a real streetfight... Come on now.

LeBron is 6'8, 260?

Floyd is 5'8, 145.

In a boxing match, Floyd would murk him. But once LeBron grabs Floyd its over. Floyd doesn't have straight up knockout power either so dude would be in trouble.

exactly---but somehow he can beat up lebron

Is this serious? No, it can't possibly be serious. Do you guys understand why they wear boxing gloves?

No, he can't be serious.

No, he can't be serious.

You actually can hurt someone more with gloves on.

It's mostly due to the fact that gloves protect a fighter's hands.

 

[illphillip]

Apparently a few guys in here know something about Lebron's incredible boxing ability and iron clad chin that the rest of us don't.



Dudes still talking about KO power in a bareknuckle fight

Not hurt more as in hit harder but it allows the boxer to keep punching over a sustained period of time. If Mayweather has an altercation with Lebron he would have no damns to give and finish him off with a couple bare knuckle punches.

The wider area of the glove also helps.

youtube floyd vs the big show for a better understanding of what would happen if he fought lebron---a bigger dude would eat those "haymakers" for breakfast

 

[gllahone84]

Ya'll in here trippin 

 

[illphillip]

WWE

"but....but....Big Show is twice LeBron's size"

So basically, everyone arguing in favor of LeBron and against Floyd is just in here trolling?

Again, never understood that practice but hope y'all had fun.

Ok, so you would prefer to streetfight someone with gloves on your hands. Is that what you are saying?

So Lebron is Big Show now? You realize Big show weighs like 200+ lbs more than Lebron right..


This guy would absorb body shots from Floyd?

 

[illphillip]

Who's going to break it to SAVAGE LEGEND that wrestling isn't real?

Oops.

 

[DadNboujee]

lets just say i wouldnt let anyone on roids punch me in the face..

Did dis dude just did dis?

youre a lame if youre underestimating Lebron!!!

 

[solidus snake]

I'm saying that with gloves punishment can be dished out more and the fighters hands won't be as likely to be injured.

Don't put words in my mouth.

 

[Mamba4life]

Lebron would have as good of a chance beating Floyd in a fight as Floyd would have of beating Lebron in a game of one on one. You guys aren't really serious are you? There can't be people who think Lebron would actually have a chance in hades of beating Floyd. He wouldn't TOUCH Floyd

 

[goldenchild9]

Y'all dudes are crazy.

He's a world class basketball player, not a fighter.

Put him in a ring or a street fight and he can and will instantly become a tomato can against someone who knows how to fight.

What good is his height advantage gonna do? Is he gonna jump over Floyd in the fight?

What good is his reach advantage gonna do...when he can't touch one of the best defensive fighters in history even with Dhalsim's reach?

Do you know that a shorter fighter who is proficient at moving, actually has an advantage over a taller fighter because of the visual parallax and the way the they mess up the taller fighters depth perception? And that's even applies to trained professional fighters. LeBron wouldn't be able to connect a punch on a good defensive fighter that much lower than him. This is how mongooses kill Cobras and how 5'11" Mike Tyson destroyed 6' 3" + fighters on the reg.

=

Plus anyone that plays ball know that if a smaller guard keeps the ball close to floor, you can't take it from them and you're pretty much at their whim when it comes to body movement, fakeouts and getting crossed up.

So he damn sure isn't connecting a single effective punch, even if he miraculously did somehow, its not knocking out Floyd because Bron doesn't know how to throw a lighting quick compact shot to the snooze button.

And if 5'10" Oscar DLH can connect on 7'1" Shaq and rock his head with head gear on and 50% power on his shot you think 5'8" Floyd wouldn't have 6'9" LeBron's head spinning on a swivel? Be real y'all.

So Floyd clearly has the advantage with the hands...what is Bron gonna do?....kick him?

Neither one of them are martial artists, so the kicking game is null and void.

That only leaves wrestling.

And again LeBron is not a trained fighter so I don't know where ya'll getting this image of him running up on Floyd and choking him out.

The last thing you want to do is rush into someone that is a master of timing and distance. You'll get clocked...

Plus a shorter fighter often has the center of gravity advantage over an untrained taller fighter. The height difference between Nate Robinson and JR Smith is the same as that between Mayweather and Bron. JR got flipped and slammed by shorty and would've gotten ground and pounded if Nate wasn't pulled off.

Same reason Running Backs are usually shorter guys and get lower to the ground to evade tackles from much bigger men.

Talking bout he'll run up and start strangling him LeBron is not a jiu-jitsu master, he's not gonna put him in an arm bar or a triangle choke.

Plus boxers spend hundreds of hours weight and strength training for their neck (II).

We're talking about trained fighters to whom death is a reality of their sport, man.

They are built for war.

Even if Bron does get close enough and is fumbling for this perfect choke that he somehow knows how to pull off, he's gonna be getting clobbered, eye gouged, bitten, choked back etc. If a 5'2" 110 pound woman who knows what to do, can fend off a much larger attacker when adrenaline is flowing, I'm sure a world class boxer who grew up street fighting can too.

At the end of the day.....take away all of the training and what ifs and you're still putting someone who's skeletal, nervous, respiratory and endocrine systems are perfectly honed for fighting and reacting to life threatening situations against someone who is one of the most laid back, non-confrontational stars the NBA has ever seen.

Floyd is not losing to Wade or LBJ in a FIGHT.

I'm reading this thread like

View media item 515487


Some of ya'll dudes obviously don't know the type of training pro boxers have. So many blasphemous statements.



Ain't no damn basketball or football player beating Floyd or any professional fighter.

"They're waaayyyy taller than Floyd though "

 

[savage legend]

i can tell that a lot of you dudes never been in a fight before.

first of all mayweather doesnt have the reach to even land a punch aimed at lebrons head

secondly, if he even gets that close(basically toe to toe) what is money gonna do once bron grapples him and restrains mayweathers arms?

NOT A DAMN THING.

hes just going to be moving around his little neck until lebron decides to finish him
