Could an elite female Heavyweight beat a elite male welterweight

Rigondeaux absolutely clowned bigger Katie Taylor in sparring:

Women are incredibly slow for their weight if you compare them to men and don't have nearly as much power to make up for it. Also, athletic women who are over 160 pounds are rarer than male super-HW athletes, a proper athletic woman heavyweight (by male standards that is 220+ pounds) is as rare as a 400 pound male athlete that isn't a fat ****.

I doubt that even the hardest female puncher punches nearly as hard as Pacquiao to be honest anyway.

Imagine putting an overweight man around 180 pounds who has boxed for a year or so against someone like Chocolatito. The speed would overwhelm him and the cardio would run out in few rounds. That's exactly how an "elite" woman boxer would look like.

Weight advantage alone doesn't mean **** in boxing. The reason why heavier boxers would beat lighter boxers is because of a mixture of weight AND athleticism. A 200 pound Beterbiev is like 10 times stronger than your average slightly overweight 200 lbs male. And women just don't have nearly as much athleticism as men.

 

No chance. Male athletes are faster, more explosive, stronger, hit harder, and can take a better punch.

I thought at first that you were just another fan boy of East European boxers but I was wrong. You actually are a pretty good poster.

 

Only a completely inept male. Imagine Carlos Zarate or Ruben Olivares vs. any woman, any size. Or even a JBW...Khaosai Galaxy vs. a woman. It would be murder.

 

I am a fan of most Eastern European boxers since I'm from this part of the world but I exaggerated in some posts in the past and provoked a bit. I'm over that phase now though and these days I just appreciate that there are boxing communities online and try to take the most out of it. Boxing gave a lot to me so I figured out I should just show more respect to everyone related to boxing.

 

People overrate power and chins regarding weight classes. There are Welterweights who hit harder than Heavyweights or who can take a punch. You can't train your chin. Manny would probably win against guys like Andrzej Wawrzyk, let alone a female boxer. GGG can punch harder than guys like Bryant Jennings.

 

Clowned? I would not say that. He was moving away from her most of the time. Sure he landed more but you don't dominate a girl by running like a girl. He should stand in the pocket, make her miss and counter. But I think that's all Rigondeaux has.

 

Lalia Ali was a super middleweight. Not a heavyweight, and she hasn't fought for 10 years.

In the spirit of the question though, I doubt she would last a round or two against Pacquiao. He has her covered in every aspect of the game. Faster, stronger, more durable, better ring smarts.

As for elite female heavyweights, has there ever been one?

 

THe top femlae heavyweights are fat and not that tall. They are not that much taller then welterweights and would get destroyed.

 

Doesn't have to say anything about power. Pudzianowski doesn't have a strong punch either, but he was world strongest man.

 

Mum vs dad

 

overall strength? not a chance... not even close. if she weighs 160, that means her frame is probably that of a normal 130lb woman who put on 30lbs of muscle to look like that. add on the loss of speed and endurance that extra muscle will bring and she becomes hopeless in any type of physical competition against a 160lb male athlete.
