What would happen if I fought a featherweight boxer? (1 Viewer)

I would like to do this... but i am afraid of the South Side of SA.

Because they are fighting other professional fighters that are trained to slip and avoid punches and usually are in the same general speed/quickness range, not to mention that they are generally in very good fighting shape.For those of you that believe that a featherweight can't generate a LOT of punching power I would suggest going to a gym someday and watch the way these guys can handle a heavy bag. Then imagine that he just hit you in the ribs and gut (not even going to the head) several times with that force. He would have you peeing blood from your hospital bed for the next several days.

Funny how it doesn't matter if a guy's 6'5" and 300 lbs or 5'4" and 140 lbs - noses don't carry much muscle. The smaller, quicker fighter would dance around, wait for his shot, nail Mr. Big FBG square in the schnozz like a sniper, quick flurry, fight over.
omg
I don't think so scooter. I'm 6'2" 290lbs, and there is no way i'm gonna let a 5'4" 140lbs guy knock me down, much less out. Please, no need to counter-argue thx.
Scooter? 
At your size, my money's on the little guy. Every time. Speed>>>>>girth.

Convince yourself. Find a gym where these guys are working out and tell them you want to get in the ring with one of them, either boxing or no holds barred. And I am not even talking professional here, let's say good amatuer or Golden Glove featherweight. Report back.

at 6'2 290 he's not beating anyone in a fight that's able to move well

you do realize that you are saying "no rules" but then imposing a rule to protect your bo jangles?he'd speedbag your boys and your grandkids would be winded, or he would fake a shot at the boys and level you.

I think some ppl are overestimating the difference between a 5'6 guy and a guy who is 6'0. This guy will tenderize the torso of said 6' guy in a matter of minutes, you'll be pissing blood for weeks after he pins you against a wall and unloads nonstop for bout 7-8 minutes.
Yes. They will hurt. A lot. These guys use like 8 oz gloves, right? That's not much.But to answer your question, you CAN know for sure. Head down to the gym. Take a video cam. Seriously.This would be HUGE in the FFA. Do it Shady. Do it for the Free For All.JBut will those punches hurt? How do you know for sure? Would be pretty cool to see if there are any studies out there measuring the difference of the strength by weight class.How much fight training do you have, shady?If the answer is anything other than "a lot", it would be a blood bath in the first round. He will hit you repeatedly in the face. The pain from the first shot to the nose will disorient you. Then your eyes will flood and you won't be able to see half as well. Then he will go to town. Trust me, it would be ugly.It doesn't mean you're not tough or in shape. He knows things and has skills you don't. JWhat? I think 100% of the time the featherweight boxer would beat me in a boxing match. But I dont think it would be a bloodbath in the 1st round.In a boxing match? You're delusional.
That's not the question though. You seem to think his arms are to skinny to generate much power.What kind of effect on you do you think it will have when he lands a punch squarely on your nose? That's the relevant question.Better than he could one of mine.
I think some people here are refusing to acknowledge just how small 125lbs is.

I will put up 20€ for 3, 3 minute rounds. You don't even have to go the full 12.

In what part of this thread did I say I wanted to do this or that I was confidant I can hold my own? It was just a friendly conversation I had with my friends that I thought would be fun to discuss in the FFA.

You CAN know for sure. Make a bet with your buddies. Video tape it and we'll run it here. You gotta do this.J

I played in a pick-up basketball game with Willie Roaf about 10-12 years ago. Completely ignoring his strength advantages he was the quickest, fastest, most agile player on the court. Someone tossed the ball to him under the basket and with no effort and no first step his 300+ pounds levitated off the floor and dunked it. It was then that I realized that a professional atheletes WORST athletic ability was far better than the average person's BEST atheletic ability.
I'm guessing that a professional boxer's average punch is probably 1,000% harder than your average FBG's best punch. Your height and weight advantages would be nullified on the first punch to the gut. Then, doubled over, you'd get nailed in the face so hard that your great, great grandmother would feel it. I'm thinking 3 punches then they call the ambulance.

I've been in the ring twice. Amatuer kickboxing at a local venue, 500 people, no big deal. The first fight ended with a loss (decision) and the second one ended in the first round with me getting my nose broken.
The respect I have for professional boxers is GREAT. Any size, any weight, these guys are good. To think an "untrained" average joe (of any size) would last more than 30-seconds is what makes this thread laughable.
You'd never even hit him.....not once.

I seriously don't get the "skinny arms" comments. If you know anything about boxing you know it's not your "arms" or its "muscles" that generate the power.
Fighting is just one of those things everyone thinks their good at regardless of training or practice... Kind of like sex....

Ever watch Nikolay Valuev fight? It could end up a lot like that. Valuev wins, but he's a horrible fighter.

i think matuski would lose in a UD, but no way does he get knocked out.
$100 and a bag of oreos on matuski.

This would be fun. I will know this week if I am on my way or not... or so I hope.And for the love of jeebus my name is matuski.. as in Matt plus the SNL addition of "uski."

i would need to be in matuski's corner though. i would give him lots of good advice like the windmill punching method and holding the featherweight midget's head to keep him out of reach.
i would also sacrifice a point or two in a couple rounds with a cheap shot or a head butt just to slow the 120 lb mexican down.
i would also have matuski wear a lucha libre mask, just to make the other boxer question if matuski is his long lost brother.
we would unveil the mask in the 10th round for a dramatic turn of events.

If matuski had a gun would the featherweight dodge the bullets or would he just watch as they bounced off his body?

Their fists are like guns that shoot daggers. I once saw a guy get impaled by a body shot from a featherweight. True story.
