As for Kimbo - Mosley. Mosley is giving away 5 inches in height and 70 pounds. That's like a heavyweight match. Do an extra 5 inches and 70 pounds means you're going to beat an ATG in a boxing match? Do they ****.
Calling us kids, but using text messaging abbreviations. LOL, OMG BRB. C'mon Drexl....are you flaming here or waht? You expect boxing people on a boxing post to concede that a lumbering wrestler with 1 month training in the sweet sceince would last with a world class WW in his prime, in a sanctioned boxing ring with boxing rules? Please. I doubt Show woulds make 5 rounds before quitting on his stool.
I can anme many, many reasons why FMJ would win this match..but all Drexl can name is size, and all his rational is strung from that one factor. Is He faster? Quicker? better shape? Better defense? Better footwark? Better ring knowledge? Hit more accurately? Better head and shoulder movement? Better boxing ability? Chin tucked? off balance? absord body punches? Roll and counter? Nope..he is a bigger man...and as we know, to Drexl, bigger always means better...get real
Kimbo is a boxer, maybe not professional but he held his own vs a former GG champ. Theres a world difference between someone like Kimbo who is huge and can box and another who is a fat wrestler whos not allowed to wrestle... In this fantasy matchup tho, how difficult would it really be to break Big Shows nose. I mean if Show runs into a punch and Floyd gives the perfect counter, the power is doubled. Countering is a great way to KO an opponent if you dont carry the power. How would Show react if PBF land a straight right straight into his eye, most boxers know how to from experience but has anyone here been hit directly in the eye? It stings and it blinds you. How about the solar plexus, hit at the right spot the fat wont protect that.
The main point here is that cherry pickin Floyd has fooled his fans once again and failed to take the real significant challenges These would all be interesting experiments and I think Floyd would beat Lesner but not Kimbo in the ring.
Drexl just seems to be intimidated by large men. :rofl If he loves Kimbo so much, he should watch that fight where the weedy guy with a little bit of boxing experience canes Kimbo's roid head mate with huge muscles who constantly throws haymakers.
I did not know that. How old was the former GC'er? Who did he face when he turned pro? What was his name? Do you have a link to verify this? This was a boxing match? Kimbo wuld be murdered in the ring, even agaisnt Audley Harrison. Mosy HW boxers have everything Kimbo does, plus skill.
I tried explaining my position. Then a bunch of jokers decided that I meant size always beats skill and any 400lb guy beats any 150lb guy. I give up. My opinion is already here, why say it again? People are obsessed with over-simplifying and generalizing. You are doing it as well. "a lumbering wrestler with 1 month training in the sweet sceince would last with a world class WW in his prime" That is not an accurate description of this specific example. Whatever. Like you hinted at, people are taking this as a "WWE vs Boxing" debate, which is really isn't. I guess I'm not surprised that people are twisting the facts in order to stick up for boxing. I'm guilty of that myself sometimes in the MMA vs Boxing debates.
Kimbo would be murdered against a HW but he does carry alot more weight and height advantage over Shane and he has a decent chin. The Golden gloves champ was Sean gannon who did beat him, however it wasnt like he was KO'd. Gannon looked fat so I imagine he hasnt trained for a long time. Shane may very well beat him but I can see how someone with that size advantage and probably top amateur level boxing skills could pose problems. I believe Kimbo is Emanuel Augustus cousin...
Drexl... Why does Kimbo beat Mosley? He's 5 inches taller and 70 pounds heavier. But he has no proper boxing experience, has never fought in a boxing match and he's facing an ATG. How does he win?
Iv'e seen that vid. "Ray" I think his name was, wasn't 400 lbs and the mexican dude wasn't 150. Anyways ... ROFLolZZZ. Drexl LUVS bigmenLOLZZZ~!!!!!111!111eleven! :roll:
Gannon just verily won because he got Kimbo in a choke and this was before Kimbo had any MMA experience
