Does anyone get annoyed by how small these boxers are?

Floyd's a great fighter and all, but he fights at 147 or sumthin? That's like how big I was in middle school. Sometimes I forget how small he is, cuz he's fightin another guy just as small. But Floyd's small enough that if he got disrespectful I'd consider fightin him (may not turn out good for me, but whatever). Don't you miss seein heavyweights fighting...2 big ? tryna knock each other's heads off?

    i get more annoyed at the heavyweights who are fat and slow and can only throw a few punches per round.

    I miss the heavy weights too.

    Most of all don't like the Euro takeover in the higher weight classes.

    i don't think there is a person outside of the sport who could dodge adn withstand a punch from Manny, much less mayweather. Now Roy Jones, you may have a shot

    By the way....don't ever run up on a good boxer or wrestler (NCAA type wrestling) in the streets.....highly likely it will not go the way u want.


    Well...actually don't run up on a WWE wrestler or MMA dude either.

    yeah, heavyweights falling off and the 15 different titles they can hold ruined the mainstream appeal of boxing. And they throw these scrubs and the Klitchkos and damn i swear Lennox Lewis is the worst fighter i've ever seen retain a belt. But i'd still rather watch a mayweather pacqiaou fight over Tyson/Holyfield in their primes.

    and i wonder if MMA would even be relevant had boxing not fallen off.

    lol...that ? is hitting another trained fighter, who's also trained to TAKE punches as well as give them, and you're tryna compare that to somebody who isn't a boxer...if PBF hit you most without his gloves on he'd knock you the ? out

    Exactly. All these guys do all day is train on how to ? a person up. Their reflexes is off the chain. The moment u make one single mistake, u are screwed.

    LOL @ dudes thinking they can mess with one of these dudes and then tapout or throw in the towel once it gets hectic.
    There's no refs or bell to save you in the streets.

    I'd say a bigger dude has a legit chance of beatin up Floyd. Not outboxin him, but if u can grip that mother ? and get em on the ground, he ain't gonna roll u or no ? . If u get on em, u can beat his ass. That's y boxers aren't gonna go into the UFC n start fitin dudes

    lmao...when i started boxing...at this gym in Durham NC...the head trainer would regularly invite random ? off the streets to spar...lmao...that ? nvr ended up good for them not once...? would be winded in the first 30 sec...? ? me with that ? ...like ? we fight each and everyday...we're in here getting our ? whipped...smaller fighters have to spar heavier fighters and vice versa just so u can get used to fighting someone who's bigger,stronger, and can take ur best punch...and big ? can get used to fighting someone who's faster more elusive and has to think moe about his movements...i been training as a fight for pretty much as long as i can remember and been competing in different styles since i was about 13 and have yet to see a ? stand a chance against me in the streets...and the highest lvl i've ever competed at was semi-pro MMA....so i know ? arent trying to see the best of best world champions...yall ? clowning...lol

    Givin mayweather too much credit here. Ya'll wouldn't be afraid of a 147 pound wrestler, and IMO that's more dangerous than a 147 pound boxer.
