Read Carefully: Could Floyd Theoretically Beat A Bad Pro Heavyweight?

holyfield whooped him good, but hw vs a super hw is not the same as a ww vs hw is it ? hmm i see what you saying just they way i think im not so sold. a bum is a bum is a bum but still at some point size does matter. how good was hurricane peter mcneeley that fought tyson when he got out of jail. could mayweather beat him over 12rds ?

go to the 27:39 part of the fight to see what im saying.

 

Absolutely.

People will always come out with the line "If Mayweather gets hit, he'll be knocked out". I don't think that's true but assuming it is, it's still a big "if". If fast ****ing lightweights can't lay a glove on Mayweather, what chance does an atrociously slow heavyweight have? The difference in speed would be incredible and it's certainly no certainly that Mayweather takes a clean shot in the entire 12 rounds.

Boxers have done it before and given the chance, they'd do it again. Joe Walcott was 5'0" and 140lbs, yet beat genuine light heavyweights and heavyweights. Given the chance, there's absolutely no reason why Mayweather couldn't do the same.

 

Without knowing anythng about the ladder half of the top 100 HW's, (and admittedly pay little attention to the division as a whole), I'd venture to guess that Floyd could cakewalk past many of the stiffs on the bottom end of the HW scene, imo.

 

Of course he could beat a "Bad Pro Heavyweight". No "Bad" fighter is going to beat Floyd.

 

I think there are top 20 heavyweights he could beat.

If welterweights, who are good technically and fast, can't land on Mayweather, I don't see how a slow, poor heavyweight could do it.

 

I concur. With his foot-speed and stamina, I envision Floyd making many of those guys look foolish for 12 rounds.

 

of course. u ever seen a little dude woop a big dudes ass in a street fight because the little guy is the superior fighter?

 

He can do it.. david haye did it against valuev. only difference. floyd might get way less shots. mostly landoong body shot.. but he can i think virtually not get hit at all. haye was hit very little against valuev

 

No top 20 HW is losing to Floyd. Period. If he could then I guarantee he would set up a fight with some of these HW's for his legacy. ****, CW's too. I bet there are a couple HW's in the top 100 (most likely anywhere from 90-100) he could UD, but definitely not a lot.

 

More times than I can count, and we're talking about a boxing match, which would give Floyd even more of an advantage (he doesn't have to worry about the bigger guy taking him down, etc).

 

Also, Valuev getting his ass beat by much smaller HW's is misleading too. The only reason he ever had ANY success is because of his size. He is literally the WORST boxer and least skilled fighter I have ever seen.

 

I've seen a 146 pound welter vs a 200 pound heavy

knock him down twice and then out cold.

they were both world ranked top 20 I think

it took place in approx 1940

 

Floyd would outpoint anybody in the current Heavyweight division not named Wlad.
