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

I asked a friend how i'd do against Mayweather and he said that I'd get destroyed. I'm 6'3, 215lbs and in pretty good shape, probably around 13% body fat. My boxing skills are minimal and i've got a 78'' reach.

What would it take for me to beat him? If I improved my boxing skills moderately, i think I'd have a great shot at beating him. Am I wrong?

He would crush you. Even if you were a "moderately" skilled boxer he's still going to be able to control the fight.

If there were enough interest in a prop bet a sparring session could probably be arranged.

You won't have the speed, coordination, or the reaction time to stop him. You'll go down VERY fast. Your bulk doesn't matter much if you can't apply it. Mayweather is a superb athlete.

Those saying he won't knock you out with one punch may be correct, but landing the first one is the hardest. After that, it can just be a domino effect. Especially when nobody's wearing gloves and the fight is real. Don't think he wouldn't kick you in the crotch, either.

I outweigh you by 20 pounds and have a good amount of martial arts experience, and think it would be pretty dicey to say he'd do anything but tear me apart. At his level of athleticism and timing and reaction speed, you just have to be half a beat behind and you're done. A world champion of his caliber could probably get a half a beat ahead of me in short order, if not immediately. Just more time spent in the ring. I've been very good at this before, but I've never done it for a living.

P.S.: A heavyweight professional boxer taking a punch even in the face is not like a regular guy taking it. You'd get hurt by a Mayweather punch a lot more than a pro heavyweight would, so your size doesn't matter as much.

How much does Mayweather weigh?

I'm pretty sure he'd KO or at least TKO you within one round. His fists would be flying faster than you can even imagine. By the time you realize you got hit, he'll be done with a three punch combo and you'll be unable to recover in time to defend yourself.

Remember, F=MA. He may not have a lot of M, but his A is >>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>&g t; yours

The other thing is, you aren that big, 6 3 and 215 is fairly lanky and skinny, so your size, other than reach isnt much of any of an advantage
