Could a 5-foot-4 125-pound professional boxer pretty much beat up any 6-2 200-pound guy who is athletic but has not fighting

I was a trained boxer, martial arts guy in the 80's. I was about 140 lbs. A guy about 250 lbs started stuff with me, and when we fought, no matter what I did, he was just too solid, and too heavy. So, in the end, I got some great shots in, but he just was not effected enough to keep him at bay and when he got his hands on me it was over.

Noses, groins, throat, and knees. It doesn't really matter what someone weighs.

A pro spends hours a week on the heavy bag and has the equivalent of a baseball bat in each hand. With superb balance, fleetness of foot, high punch resistance, and accurate execution of counters and a whirlwind of combinations. With a chin that will be hanging out there, he might just swing a haymaker and have done with it.

For maximum panic effect, nothing beats a straight to a soft nose to back someone up - instant blood, pain, followed by dull numbing and disorientation; enough hesitation to invite a precision beating. Boxers will generally fight fair though, and will desist once the other guy submits or falls.

You can’t beat physics.

The little guy can punch and punch, will do little damage. One solid punch by the 200 pound guy will send the small one into bolivian. .

Naseem Hamed @125 lbs used to frequently knock out heavyweights in sparring sessions, even with gloves on his hands and them wearing head protection.

Once Frank Warren found out about it, he barred heavyweights from sparring with him. Emmanuel Steward believed Hamed could knock anyone out and had more pound for pound power than even Thoms Hearns.

There is some physics for you.

145lb Ricky Hatton could deliver 900lb punches in 0.1 seconds.

If a 125lb boxer manages even just 600lb of force with similar speed and accurately places one of those on your nose/jaw then it's broken.

Weighing 200lb doesn't make your face invincible.

Even with body shots a 900lbs punch to the stomach would make you vomit/rupture something.

Sounds like myth to me. If he did, it is because his paid sparring partners weren't going all out at him. The only time Naseem knocked a big guy out was with his car.

Joedirt despite your warning about not being untrained I have a boxer willing put this to the test. Actually, it will be a better test since you say you have fighting skills. Any chance you can make it to the Vegas area on the next month? Let me know and I will start making the arrangements.

It will need to be done in a gym setting but we will give you plenty of room to move around.

Warren wasn't worried about Hamed getting hurt - he was worried about his heavyweights.

A jolly good winding, and a pneumothorax ftw.

If a pro boxer has hit you, then you stay hit..

If I'm in Vegas, I'll bump the thread. It won't be in the next month.

When a 200 pound athlete hits a 125 pound boxer. The boxer stays KTFO.

but the key is the 200 lb athlete never gets a punch in. as others have said, the generally fit 200lb athlete is going to telegraph every punch. the 125lb boxer is going to beat the living sh!t out of the 200lb'er.

i had a buddy in college who was probably 140 (a bit more i know) and a state champion wrestler and golden glove boxer. he was a fantastic street fighter. standing up boxing, he was good. hit the ground, even better. he was also completely insane. like really nuts. we would wind him and and let him go. i saw this knock out 3 (yep 3) 250+ guys in under a minute. each lacrosse player took one punch to the face and went down. it was fantastic. he later went to jail for punching a police horse. and then attacking the cop on said horse. again, he was nuts.....

What's he going to use a step ladder to reach up to hit him?

Or is he just going to go for the nut shot?

LOLZ Some of these guys make these small boxers out to be super human.

ok, nut shot is funny....in a street fight, all is fair i guess.....
