Dear Floyd.....what happens if....

Underground

Bobby Lupo -  It would be hilarious if any MMA guy threw a leg kick at a boxer of PBF's caliber. The MMA guy would be tasting right hand and dreaming of getting some dragon jeans with that $2000 Condom Depot paid for his ass space before he got to put his foot back down.


floyd would be tasting feet before he could get a punch out

boxing is not ture stand up, mma is. MMA fighters will doge that one punch and boom broken arm mayweather

MMA fighters have trouble dodging punches from their fellow bingo-hall palookas.



If one managed to slip a punch from a pugilist-specialist of Floyd's caliber, there would be three more punches waiting for him wherever he weaved.



Mercer has written the blueprint.  Don't jab, don't dance, don't feel these mugs out.  Just lay on a solid shot and let your skills weave through their beginner-level defenses like a button-seeking missile.



Bop n' drop.

 Shame he couldn't do that with Kimbo.

 

24

Assuming Floyd actually fought MMA, which he will never ever do, nobody in their right mind would try to trade with him, leg kicks or otherwise. It would be straight to the ground if his opponent had brain 1.

whiteghost - why would Floyd be throwing leg kicks?
26

uniqueid09 - Kicking is vastly overrated. Is better to have great hands, defense, and head movement, than to have great kicks.



Kickboxing leads to poor striking overall.
based on what?

wtf? how can someone punch you if they can't reach you? i agree with the emphasis on defense and head movement. but that's all encompassing of what striking should be. Don't fight to win, Fight not to lose.

28

lol @ kicking is overrated.


Buakaw would beat Mayweather with no hands.



He won't throw one punch. He'd chop Mayweather down.

29

All Buakaw allowed to do is coverup with his hands and push away with his hands.



I'd bet the house he beats Mayweather with leg-kicks alone. He doesn't even need head kicks.

Just leg kicks. With Mayweather checking them and everything. Shin on shin.

D0N Johnson - lol @ kicking is overrated.

Watch Vince Philips vs Masato

I actually don't recall Masato throwing punches. He was just back-pedalling and leg kicking as Philips was dying to close the distance. Don't tell me he was over the hill. Dude went 12 rounds with Ricky Hatton in the same year.

Vince's leg got broken by the first kick in the 2nd round.

Those were Masato's kicks. Masato is known as primarily a boxer in K-1 Max.

Buakaw would send Mayweather out on a stretcher.

32

what happens if floyed ends up in a clinch with buakaw? Without Joe Cortez to break them up.


Pretty boy's nose is going to end up sniffing his ear wax.

33

D0N Johnson - Watch Verno Philips vs Masato

If that is aimed at me, you have misunderstood me friend. I meant that I agree with what you said, and have quoted it for truth.

 

34

tmr,

appreciate fren.


naw wasn't aiming at you. just general ignorance in this thread about boxing is the end all be all of striking.

idiots.

35

How can MMA'ers dodge a punch thrown by one of the fastest if not the fastest boxer right now if elite boxers who train in said art can't even see the punch coming? This is in 8 oz gloves too. Just sayin.

Any MMAer with a game plan wouldn't try to exchange like Silva did. They would grapple like Kimbo did.

Floyd is a counter-puncher. His style is terrible for MMA.

He basically sits on the outside and picks his potshots against the aggression of his opponents.


If a solid thai fighter were to fight him. Floyd would have no range to fire any shot.



Don't refer to Tim Sylvia and Bob Sapp please. The UFC and K-1 Heavyweights have always been a fucking joke.



K-1 Max for example has solid talent. Any of those regulars would put Floyd out.

38

It was Vince Phillips who fought Masato, not Verno.

39

uniqueid09 -K-1 striking has been utterly underwhelming, and a Thai boxers primary value lies in his clinch fighting. Leg kicks have an even lower success rate than head kicks when it comes to damaging someone in MMA, and the reason is obvious: Head kicks can end a fight almost immediately if the stars are aligned, but leg kicks are often based on their cumulative effect, much like a stiff jab in boxing.



lol @ this bullshit.

LOL @ legkicks are under-whelming in Thai boxing.


Have you ever thought that MAYBE those cats have super-calcified their shin bones since birth? They have killed all the sensitive nerves on their legs.

Ya they can go out there and kick each other for however many rounds.



Floyd has never taken a single legkick in his entire life. he doesn't even know how to stand properly in receiving a leg-kick from a leg-kicking specialist with supercalcified bones.




Floyd limps after 2 legkicks from a good thai fighter. He may stay up. but his footwork is gone.


Without his footwork he's nothign but a sitting duck.
