I'm 6'3 and 215lbs, what are my chances vs: Mayweather?

Even at my weight, I can run a sub 6 minute mile, I can easily hit a 40 yard field goal. I was considering trying out for kicker for UCONN.

I have a decent memory and I don't recall many Kenyans or Martin Gramatica's competing in title bouts.

stephen,

If you trained pretty hard for about 4 years in martial arts, I think you could beat him in a street fight. 6-12 months in a boxing gym just won't cut it though, especially for a ring match where he can use a full range of different strategies he has mastered.

That's what I've been looking for!!! 6-12 months. Thank for an answer.

a year in a boxing gym wouldn't allow you to beat a stiff heavyweight either. Most 45 year old palookas would still pound you into nothingness. Boxing is VERY [censored] DIFFICULT, ok? You can't become proficient in it in a year.

I'm just fascinated by how he digs himself deeper and deeper...it's awesome

The Kimbo comparison is ridiculous. Kimbo's boxing skills are far from minimal and his experience is vast, in addition to Kimbo having an even greater weight advantage against Mayweather. Just like when the original poster compared Tyson and Mayweather when speaking about heavyweight punchers, the Kimbo comparison is completely off the wall and simply doesn't fit into the place where stephan is trying to wedge it.

I brought up Kimbo so i could set up a more realistic comparison, since Mayweather could allegedly take me in 5 seconds. 4 out of 7 people think that mayweather could take kimbo, which is pretty funny.

So basically, this thread has come down to me overestimating myself, and everyone else overestimating Mayweather.

Im pretty sure the reason Mayweather is hanging up the gloves is because of you Stephan.

Mayweather won that fight, but that was pretty lame, just like all lightweight/middleweight whatever the [censored] weight they are. They could put on their clubbing clothes and go out to town and no one would even realize that they had a 12 round fight earlier in the day.

This is as far as I've read down in the thread, but this is the only post anybody has to read.

they just don't have the knockdown power of a 6'3", 215 lber named stephan. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Athleticism is probably rare to a bunch of gambling nerds. Even at my weight, I can run a sub 6 minute mile, I can easily hit a 40 yard field goal. I was considering trying out for kicker for UCONN.

This part is hilarious. I'm not athletic at all, 5'11, 180 pounds, and haven't done anything physical in at least a year, and I'm willing to bet I could run a sub 6 minute mile in 3 weeks max of moderate training.

Also, you severely underestimate how fast Mayweather's punches are. I highly doubt you have the reflexes to dodge a jab from his left hand.
