This would be a special match up on Wrestlemenia lol i would pay to see Big Show vs Mayweather on a real boxing match
A DIRECT STAEMENT AND QUESTION FOR DREXEL: (Yes..I am calling out Drexel in keeping with what seems to be "vogue" in sports") I think we can all agree the similairites in WWE, or stunt work, and boxing are non existant. No onw skill set is similiar. Now, with that being said: Would Big Show win a 1 on 1 basketball match with the much smaller and lighter Allen Iverson...if they played for 36 minutes..and he had 1 month training? What do you think the lilley outcome would be? A loss, or an exhausted Show not being able to continue? You see..if Show tried to play close, AI would blow right by him and dunk..if he played under the net, AI would hit shots outside...Big show cant hit shots outside on a consitant basis, and he would be contested...and never dribble pst AI....skill sets my man. What about Tiger Woods vs Show? How about Andre Agasi..he small and retired..what would happen? Well...the same thing that would happen in boxing FMJ.... a loss, and exhausted beaten large man losing. I know your reply "he only needs to land 1 shot"..well, I wont even assume thats true, but...could he? So he has the "punchers chance" w/o the usual skill the puncher has? Remember..he only needs to nail that "1 shot" in the BB game, or that same "1 shot" in golf, or the same "1 shot" in tennis to win it...his chances are the same in all of these sports as they are in hitting that "1 shot" that ends it with pbf...Nil.
His chance of hitting that "1 shot" that Drexl always brings up agaisnt FMJ are they same as hitting a half court shot agaisnt a moving basket, or a hole in one on a par 4, or winning the long volley agaisnt Agassi. Or returning his serve. Very slim. And, who is so sure one off balance slow blow from Show would really end FMJ's night? He has been hit harder.
I couldn't give a **** and none of that is relevant because it has nothing to do with the specific topic of the thread. I might as well go off on a tangent as well and say: who wins: The best Straw Weight fighter in the world vs Shaq or Mike Strahan The "non-boxer" gets a few months of intensive boxing training to learn the very basics.
The size & power difference between Valuev and Big Show is not as great as the difference in skill. Therefore, irrelevant comparison.
I never once said "1 shot". He wouldn't land a perfect 1 shot. He would land a few "far from perfect" shots. And that would be enough.
Perhaps you should try a laxative then. It absolutley applies directly to the topic of this thread, regardless if you refuse to acknowledge the analogy or not, its relevant and used for comparision purposes. Gotta say, your comparision of Shaq vs Straw weight is off topic....this is about Big Show Vs. PBF in a boxing match with boxing rules and BS getting 1 month training...to answer that question is to answer the topic in this thread...and I already did answer it...FMJ in a landslide. To answer your other question(s)..if the straw weight champ is fast and has the skill set of FMJ, and also the in and out fighting style...or could adopt it..Strahan and Shaq lose also.
Extremely relevant.......also you just stated the skill gap is large, tahnsk for helping me with my point.... now imagine the skill gap between Show and Floyd vs the gap between Nicko and Show. You seem smart..you do know what relevant means, right?
Your entire point is p[redicated on Show landing that 1 shot, and the "power" behind it. the power would be from derived weight(mass) equaling force. The speed is mising in this equation however...if you are hoping in your scenario that Show wil land multiple of balance lunging far from perfect punches on PBF, then, well..thats far fetched, and they likley would have no more efect than a Hatton or ODL punch if they did land...and they would not land......its the ones you dont see coming....
For the slower people..to make my post above comparing professionals in one sport going agaisnt lay people in another..this is a comparision used the illustrate a point..thus AI is FMJ, Tiger Woods is FMJ, Aggasi is FMJ...the moving basket, the return serve, the hole in one illkustrate the diffuculty for a layperosn performing a task that the professional performs daily....i.e. hitting a half court shot with amoving basket for Show is aking to AI making a layup in traffic surrounded by other pros....its that Hard for the layperson...same as it would be to continually cath a boxer flush without getting countered or missing wildly and being exposed......
No, it really isn't my point at all. It's the ones you don;t see that KO you, but I have never once suggested that Big Show would KO Floyd with one head shot.
Well Drexel (Is your name derived from the Movie "True Romance"??)...your point is comparing a separate fighter (strawweight) vs athletes in (a) different sport(s) with different skill sets to illustrate a point. I still conclude this will ultimatley end in the same result...a win for the pro. My point was using the same fighter, the non pro BS, in different scenarios to illustrate how he would fair agaisnt other pros, those other pros being a mataphor for the other fighter in this thread, PBF. I wasnt saying "Andre the Giant vs Mike Tyson in a ring...who wins" ..which is akin to what you aksed...jsut saying.....
You are comparing pure skill sports with boxing, which you can be successful at with either pure skill but don't necessarily need pure skill to be successful. Therefore it is irrelevant to talk about other sports. The skill gap is greater between Floyd & Big Show than it is between Valuev and Big Show. I never disputed that. But here's the thing you seem to be overlooking.... you dont need to be more skilled than your opponent to win a boxing match. You can win by damaging your opponent in any way to the extent that he cannot continue, as long as the damage is done with legal blows.
Drex..my man..that is your point..in reviewing your posts, you indicate that the force of BS's punches would knock FMJ off balance, and would be the deciding factor in the fight...his mass, or size, would equal power, and that obstacle would turn the table in BS's favor. Now you have switched lanes to an even more absurd theory that he is going to outpoint FMJ? Also, like I have stated, you need the speed for that mass to equal power (force).
