    Well, I mean there are some guys who may not be able to.

    Fore example, Roberto Duran is probably 220 pounds of fluff at this point. I don't know if he's going to kill me.

    However, Marvin Hagler looks almost the same as he did when he boxed! He'd wreck me, easily.

    Apparently George Foreman still kicks his son's ass when they spar and he's 60 years old now. He's a scary, scary dude.

    I'm 100% sure that 88 years old Jake LaMotta will open a can of whoopass on me if I **** him off.

    I agree with 99%. Can't say all - I'm pretty sure Ali cannot **** me up.

    If he stops the shaking for 5 seconds you will be in a world of pain:!:

    lol - even if he stops shaking I don't think he could swing. Of course I would never fight him - I would never forgive myself. It's like when Larry Holmes said he cried after beating him up because he had looked up to him for so long.

    William Caveman Lee, I've met him and he just oozes potential violence. Not that he's intimidating, he's a great guy... but I can just tell he could lay some whupass down if needed.

    The average joe has no idea quite what a good boxer is like.

    The best boxer that I know personally was a good state level contender. He never turned pro. He has this party trick - he gets people to hold a coin in their palm... tells them to try to close their hand before he snatches the coin... then after they have closed their hand and they think they have beaten him he tells them to look at the coin they are holding... it is different from the coin they initially had in their palm. Kinda like a scene from a movie I once saw with JCVD in it. The looks he gets are priceless.
    So he is already faster then most people can really understand.

    He tells of when he tried to step up in competition to the next level. He fought a golden gloves fighter. He says he doesn't recall seeing a single punch. He just remembers that for the rest of the day his vision was ****ed and he could only see in black and white. (I heard something similar when I was 14. I beat the **** out of someone at school - but in hindsight I was punching like a ***. It took me four punches without gloves to knock them out. They later told me that every time I hit them their vision went black and white. But anyone with proper training would have been able to KO them with one hit because I was holding them with the other hand and had a lot of leverage. Ah well, we all got to start somewhere)

    Anyway, we have moved up to another class of amatuer fighter and we have moved up to another level beyond the comprehension of the average joe.

    Then we move up again to the level of decent pro, then world class pro, then world champ pro. At each step we move further and further from what the average joe can even begin to understand.

    I don't think I'm a sissy. I've trained long and hard in a lot of different martial arts. I think that I could give a decent boxer a reasonable fight, if it wasn't a boxing match. (I consider my boxing friend to be a decent boxer)

    But against a serious pro fighter... let's say one who has ever been ranked in the top 200 in their weight division... I'd probably want to wait until they turned 60 before I'd like my chances at all. If they were in the heavy weight classed with serious power then I might want to wait even longer.

    For some reason though, I would love to get in the ring with Valuev for an MMA fight.
