Trained in Jiu-jitsu before I started striking. I'm not particularly strong, never lifted weights, never had a problem in in the clinch either. So much of it is knowing how to use leverage, timing and controlling an opponents balance. Most boxers I've sparred with have told me how strong I am in the clinch. I'm not, I just pay attention to what I am feeling in the clinch more than most boxers. Grappling was the best thing I ever did for my striking game.

 

Check out Minotauro Nogiera vs Bob Sapp. http://i.imgur.com/DqUrUVw.gif This happened but Nogiera still won the fight.

 

Most of the top guys in their weight classes are all probably a lot closer in strength than many realize. All the guys who make it to the top are strong as heck.

 

But unless they know what they are doing they would get destroyed in a boxing match by a real boxer.

Are you actually saying some big Lug who never had a fight in his life is going to beat a real boxer in the ring?

That is ludicrous.

 

Hitting somebody who isn’t a fighter is like taking a free shot.

Won’t make a difference. Big muscles in a neck won’t help if the guy gets hit with a punch he dosnt see coming. His brain is still going to rattle lose. If the guy gets hit right it’s over. Any guy.

And the guy who isn’t used to avoiding punches or sensing the sequence of them will take a punch blind A whole lot more often than a guy who grew up with swapping punches with trained fighters. And that’s what takes people out. The not being able to brace themselves at the moment of impact. Brain rattle.

 

Yeah there are two distinct Bob Sapp's in MMA. Pre- Crocop Sapp was scary as hell, rag dolling every one and a very serious fighter. Even stopped K-1 legend Ernesto Hoost twice in kickboxing. Fishy stoppages aside, he did that. Then when Cro-cop shattered his orbital with a left straight he was never the same guy again. Started looking for the fastest way out of a fight. Win or lose.

All due respect to Pudz, he gave MMA the old collage try, but he went 12-6 overall. Managed a 30 second KO of a Gracie though. Pudz lost weight because MMA is way more cardio intensive than strongman competitions. Anybody that bulky is going to lose weight if the grapple regularly. I know my first day at the gym I weighted about 230lbs. Lost about 60lbs in a year or 2.

 

He'd still gas out. Too much muscle is not conducive to great cardio. Lateral movement, maintaining the distance, leg kicks. If it happens in any kind of open space a good fighter could and would take him out. A narrow alley would be a great environment for his build. A parking lot, not so much.

It would take some time, but if you can survive the first 2 minutes it becomes a winnable fight for a trained 200lber with decent cardio.
