Floyd Mayweather

**OMGRandyJackson** · 11-16-10, 09:29 PM

Street fighting and boxing is very different.....

Chances are though if Floyd got a quick punch first in a street fight he would beat a 6'0 175 pound dude...

i dont think you get the whole pound for pound thing.........

I knew people didn't like him but how can he act the way he does. Many times people ask him about Manny Pac and he says next question or dodges the topic. Does he know how bad he makes himself look?

He says he's the world's best pound per pound boxer. But this guy looks so tiny

. I think if you get a guy who's 6'0 175lbs of muscle, he would probably beat Mayweather up if it was something like streetfight 1 on 1.
Boxing of course he would probably win but is it wrong for me to believe someone can beat Mayweather up easily in a streetfight? I mean this guy is really tiny and every commentator is like at least 3 inches taller than him.

I think Mayweather is like 5'8 155lbs? I don't consider that to be someone who is a tough guy if you know what i mean

. His security guards could probably beat him up easily.

LMAO @ some guy beating Mayweather up in a streetfight. You don't think Mayweather was in streetfights when he was younger. Also, Mayweather probably walks around at 170lbs and is a professional athlete. His conditioning alone would be enough to beat most people. Think about what your saying there are few and far between 175lbers that could take him out.

**GJMike** · 11-16-10, 09:44 PM

He doesnt walk around at 170. I was right next to him a week ago and if he was even 5'8" tall I would be VERY suprised. He looked like a midget next to me and I am not even big. I would not want to fight him in a sanctioned ring fight or a street fight fwiw.

**SaraLi** · 11-16-10, 10:01 PM

It's his way to get a publicity. Pacquiao's inching him in!

He is listed at 5'8". How tall are you?

**rem sleep** · 11-16-10, 10:31 PM

He's a professional boxer. The only way an average person could knock him out is if you sucker punch him with brass knuckles. If you have martial arts training and were 6'0 and 175, you would have a shot of beating him up because he wouldnt be expecting kicks and I dont think he would know what to do in that situation.

**castle** · 11-16-10, 10:38 PM

Mayweather is a scumbag. End of story.

**k13** · 11-16-10, 10:42 PM

He'd have too much to lose in a streetfight.

But you'd be surprised how much fight a hungry little ***** can have in him.

Mayweather is not hungry anymore though.

**dynamite140** · 11-16-10, 11:27 PM

Can someone then explain to me what he means by pound by pound best fighter?

**dynamite140** · 11-17-10, 01:29 AM

Anyone?

**HauntingTheHoly** · 11-17-10, 01:37 AM

@dynamite - it's a mythical ranking that cannot be measured at all. If you are beating every fighter in your weight division EASILY, and it is a talented weight division, you are a candidate to be "pound for pound" the best.

**pico** · 11-17-10, 01:42 AM

manny might need to go up to 160-165 lbs to fight him. i doubt mayweather will be willing to drop to 150 lbs

Floyd fought Sugar at 147 lbs so I don't thing 147-150 is going to be a problem.

Oscar was his only fight above that and that was at 154 lbs.

I doubt very much that he would get Manny to agree to 160. Manny came in for the last fight which was for 150 lbs at 144 lbs. At 160, Floyd would could be 170+ on fight night. If things didn't go his way, Manny would look worse then Margarito after that fight.

My guess would be 145-150 lbs

James

**rem sleep** · 11-17-10, 02:09 AM

If Manny and Mayweather were to fight it would be at 147.

**dynamite140** · 11-17-10, 02:15 AM

Okay but if mayweather was to fight Brock Lesnar, please tell me Lesnar would win easily in a streetfight. This guy is so short, i cannot imagine him knocking out someone like Lesnar. Lesnar would probably live him up and its over

**HauntingTheHoly** · 11-17-10, 02:26 AM

lol, yes Dynamite. Look, Brock lesner has way more "pounds" than Floyd does. But Floyds "pounds" are worth more. But Brock's quantity is so much greater, he wins easily. Does that make sense?

**HauntingTheHoly** · 11-17-10, 02:29 AM

There are a lot of guys Brocks size who could give him a really tough street fight. But nobody can beat Floyd at his weight except maybe Manny Pacquiao. And actually Pacquiao's best weight is 140 - too light for Floyd. So if Floyd wins a razor close decision that could have gone either way, one may still argue that Manny is better pound for pound (but not without some people getting really pissed, hehe)

I can't tell you that. Its a street fight. There has been many times the smaller guy rocks the big guy. There have been big guys that just toss half a bar full of people around.

In a cage Brock doesn't break a sweat to win the fight.

**Flexin** · 11-17-10, 02:43 AM

You seem to be having a hard time with the whole pound for pound ranking. What they are doing is ranking all fighters from 105 to heavyweight. You can't have a guy at 140 lbs fighting a guy that is 250 lbs in the ring. But just because the 250 lbs fighter will destroy the 140 lbs fighter doesn't mean he is the better fighter. He was in that fight but weight and size more then likely played a bigger part in it. The pound for pound ranking looks at all fighters and says if they were all the same size, who would be the best.

If you looked at cars it would be like comparing a go kart to a 911.

So if all things were equal in size who would be the better fighter. Here is Ring Magazines list.

1. Manny Pacquiao

Country: Philippines (General Santos City)

Record: 52-3-2 (38 KOs)

Ranking: This Week: #1 | Last Week: #1 | Weeks On List: 364

Titles: WBO
2. Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Country: USA (Las Vegas, Nevada)

Record: 41-0-0 (25 KOs)

Ranking: This Week: #2 | Last Week: #2 | Weeks On List: 61
3. Juan Manuel Marquez

Country: Mexico

Record: 51-5-1 (37 KOs)

Ranking: This Week: #3 | Last Week: #3 | Weeks On List: 192

Titles: WBA, WBO, The Ring
4. Nonito Donaire

Country: USA (San Leandro, Calif.)

Record: 23-1-0 (15 KOs)

Ranking: This Week: #4 | Last Week: #4 | Weeks On List: 81
5. Paul Williams

Country: USA (Augusta, Ga.)

Record: 38-1-0 (27 KOs)

Ranking: This Week: #5 | Last Week: #5 | Weeks On List: 54
6. Sergio Martinez

Country: Argentina

Record: 45-2-2 (24 KOs)

Ranking: This Week: #6 | Last Week: #6 | Weeks On List: 29

Titles: WBC, The Ring
7. Pongsaklek Wonjongkam

Country: Thailand

Record: 77-3-1 (41 KOs)

Ranking: This Week: #7 | Last Week: #7 | Weeks On List: 29

Titles: WBC, The Ring
8. Fernando Montiel

Country: Mexico

Record: 43-2-2 (33 KOs)

Ranking: This Week: #8 | Last Week: #8 | Weeks On List: 18

Titles: WBO
9. Wladimir Klitschko

Country: Ukraine

Record: 55-3-0 (49 KOs)

Ranking: This Week: #9 | Last Week: #9 | Weeks On List: 14

10. Timothy Bradley

Country: USA (Palm Springs, Calif.)

Record: 26-0-0 (11 KOs)

Ranking: This Week: #10 | Last Week: #10 | Weeks On List: 9

Titles: WBO

There is one heavyweight in the top 10 and he is in 9th place.

**Pabinator** · 11-17-10, 01:11 PM

Jose Aldo would beat up Mayweather Or Manny PacRoid with no rules.

But of course those guys are Boxers not real all around fighters

**Grits n' Gravy** · 11-17-10, 02:03 PM

MMA guys would get destroyed in a boxing match and vice versa. 2 different kinds of fighting. Floyd is a beast in training and an artist in the ring. He walks around in the 150 range and if he was able to get the right money, he'll fight Manny at 147. Unless his speed disappeared overnight, he beats the super talented Pacman by decision or late TKO. Too quick with hands and feet and don't underestimate that he is the smartest boxer around right now. He doesn't overpower anyone, but he makes them look silly.

**marcoloco** · 11-17-10, 02:19 PM

flyod is a boxer not a fighter he wins off scoring points. he cherry picks his fights. before he started talking smack he was just another fighter with a good record. there are many of them out there. most people pay to watch his fights hoping he loses & gets ko'ed. his fights are boring, not much too see, he runs, sides steps & dodges, which does make him a great boxer just not an exciting one. his ego & record are more important to him than money, i bet he never fights pacman

Have you seen them fight outside the ring? You do realize that most boxers grew up fighting and move into boxing. Most of these guys are not bankers that decide they might want to fight so they go to the boxing gym.

Not many street fights are one on one. Who do you thing is going to have a bigger crew with them?

Some street fights come down to a few punches. These guys could throw those punches fast and on target.

And just because they are boxers you think they are only going to punch? If a guy goes down you feel 100% sure that the boxer won't stomp your ass while your down? Or put a foot on your ribs or jaw? Its a damn street fight.

People are nuts that think that just because someone is a boxer that they will lose in a street fight. Have fun with that boxer that you decide to square off with in a bar.

6'0 180. Standing right next to him I was amazed at how small he seemed. I am not a big guy.

**Grind House** · 11-17-10, 07:00 PM

Boxing and fighting somebody on the street is no way close to being alike. If you think so, you never fought before. Wit ya soft ass.

**OMGRandyJackson** · 11-17-10, 07:54 PM

I think you guys are forgetting when Floyd beat Big Show.

SO OBVIOUSLY FLOYD > BROCK LESNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said that too but it seems nobody grasped that concept lol.

**Fieldysnuts44** · 11-17-10, 08:22 PM

If the Pacqaiuo and Mayweather fight happens,Mayweather will kill that roid eating Bitch.Mayweather is pound for pound best in Business.

Look what he did to Big Show

Floyd will kill the fukk,hes no Margaritta

**lasker** · 11-17-10, 08:33 PM

Like everyone I really wish the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight would happen, but sadly it never will because Mayweather doesn't want to spoil his perfect record. Pacquiao is better.
