    Boxing ring with rules then the boxer. Street fight. Big dude especially 'meathead' rips the small guys arms off.

    The Meathead.


    This is a boxing website, so of course most here would side with the boxer. Nothing new. Everyone wants to come up with stories of the little guy whipping the big guy. It makes for good internet folklore and ****, but in reality size matters. That's why boxing has weight classes. And when you talk about a disparity of that much, it begins to take effect.


    6'4" 250 is a lot to overcome if the guy is athletic, I don't care what sport he is athletic in. And when you say meathead, I'm assuming you mean big jock. I don't think it's close if he is a football player or a wrestler, and use to combat and taking blows.

    Street fight? The 250lbs, 6'4 meathead has a massive advantage...literally.

    He could easily take away the little guys biggest weapons by grabbing him...and saying that, one clean blow from the big guy, the little guy is in trouble...professional boxer or not.

    Even if the big guy doesn't know how to throw a punch...it's called a street fight for a reason...

    Like a couple people have stated if the meathead has done wrestling chances are he's gonna look for the takedown when he realizes that he isn't going to land anything from a distance. If he does get the takedown the little guy is as good as finished unless he secures a guillotine choke on the big guy as he shoots in on him.

    In a boxing ring, the boxer.

    In a streetfight I'd have to fancy the meathead. Especially if the meathead knows that the boxer is a boxer. The element of surprise would be the boxer's trump card in a street fight.

    Boxing has weight classes because its pro's vs pro's.

    In MMA before everyone became "mma", there was such a wide gap in terms of ability that it was open class, you would literally have 150lb guys beating 300lb giants. The reason was simple, gap in a ability...the gap in a bility between a FW pro boxer(a good one) vs an untrained meathead is even bigger.

    Now that the skill gap has closed as everyone has wisened a bit more in MMA, weight classes has been introduce as the gap in a bility isnt that wide anymore, for example you wont have Royce Gracie beating Fedor.


    Its the same in boxing. The reason a guy like Ruiz is able to compete with a guy like Valuev, outweighes him by nearly 100lbs is because of the gap in ability. There are not many 320lb boxers around, Valuev is the best of that pond, the 320lb pond but in reality, he is still a crap boxer. Ruiz is one of the best of a very big pond, 230lb pond and in reality, he is a much better boxer than Valuev.

    In reality, there really isnt that much of a difference between Valuev outweighed Ruiz by 100lb than a HW outweigheing a LW 100lb, 100lb is 100lb although I get that 100lb is more in proportion to a FW boxer.

    The reason you will see HW's competing with SHW's is because SHW king is usually the best of the small pond, thus their skill is nowhere near as good as those of the best at HW. A FW will typically not compete with a HW because their gap in ability really isnt that big, the HW is a well populated category and produce very good boxers.

    All in all, its all about gap in ability.

    Thats true, but what if the FW boxer also lifts weights?

    How many 250lb men in here can carry 177kg(390lbs) over their heads? Because in olympic weight lifting, thats a record set by a man weighing 62kg. Which leads to another thing, if the gap in ability or strength in this case can be so big that a 62kg man can lift FAR more than a 250lb man at their own sport, then the same case should apply for a boxer in his own sport. Except instead of being the much stronger man weighing less, he is simply the much better boxer, hit harder, faster, more skilled, tougher...

    How would a big guy grabbing you mean anything? Does that mean a boxer loses his hands and gives up? Featherweight lands 4 shots before 1 would even get near him.

    A 6'4 250lbs guy grabbing a Featherweight...what do you think the boxer is going to do? I'm going to guess he won't be able to out-muscle the big guy.

    I like how people rule out the fact that the big guy could be a combination of huge/crazy ****er.
