Would he actually hit me, or dance around?

These are professional boxers. All they do for a living is train and fight. Mayweather becomes a defensive fighter against other professional boxers.

Against people on here, I don't think he becomes the defensive boxer you see on television. The guy is noted for his ability to avoid jabs and power punches against other PROFESSIONAL BOXERS. Not only would no one here come close to landing a punch, but their "training" revolves around fighting with a sibling, fighting a drunk at bar close, or fighting with someone at school.

In my opinion, it's naive to think he would go defensive against your average OT Joe. He would mop up everyone here within a minute. It's comical that some people think otherwise.

Agreed.

He would knock me out. I would take 1 million for that because he would probably 1 punch me and I wouldn't be physically harmed other than a concussion/headache.

Yes, I would slow dance with Floyd Mayweather for one round in exchange for $1,000,000.

I only read the first page but you gotta love the OT. Mayweather would knock out every single person on this board and it wouldn't take long. I'm talking knocked out cold. I'm 6'2" 230 and I doubt I could take one clean shot from him and stay on my feet.
Hell, I'll bet most of us would crumble from one shot to the gut. A good liver shot? Forget about it. You're done.

Of course I'd accept all this punishment for a million dollars. I'd have reservations about a heavyweight hitting me though.

Sure...it's not like he'd really hit you hard. the guy has no interest in throwing hands. So long as you keeping moving forward he'll keep giving you his shoulder and occasionally sticking his jab out.


You think he would use the same fight style on you as he does with other professional fighters???? He would drop your arse like a dime and wouldn't break a sweat doing so.

without knowing anything about you, I would venture to guess that Floyd Mayweather uses his 150 lbs. better than you use your 215 lbs., and you would get the shite kicked out of you

I know I would. he's trained to fight his whole life

while he may work the system in the ring, I bet against an everyday guy he'd be aggressive and knock you out.


This is what people fail to understand he trained so much the mother fricker can barely read!!!! A man that trained so much to fight that it resulted in him reading at a 3rd grade level would own your arse in the ring in a short amount of time.

I'd go 12 with my hands tied behind my back for a million dollars.

Well you'd have to do this on 12 different days because you'd be knocked out in 5 seconds in all 12 rounds.

at anyone that thinks they would not be knocked out in a single round. He would EASILY get a direct shot to the head in the first few seconds.

I would guess that 99% of the OT would be knocked out within 30 seconds. The 1% either get lucky and black a few punches or Floyd just misses.

ETA: 30 seconds is a long time. Probably 15 seconds is more realistic.

Neither am I and while it's possible he(Fournette) hits like a pussy for a 225 pounder, I'd rather not conduct such an experiment.

I KNOW that a 140 pounder doesn't punch with the potential ability of a 225 pounder.

With a 225 pounder, I'd just have to hope he didn't use his potential.

I like sure things.
