K-1 rules?.. I hate to say it but PBF has a chance
PBF is way too fast for those guys, he could and would potshot them and literally run away for the duration of a short K-1 fight and then would laugh at the fans of kickboxing (and by extension MMA fans) and would make it rain. :( Sorry bro, "thats jsut the way it is"
^^ true but he would lose the decision as K-1 rewards aggressive fighters who move forward
His style is horrible for K-1. He is not a tremendous one shot KO puncher. And i would lol @ his use of the mayweather shoulder roll as Buakaw kicks him hard enough to break his arm
Floyd would outland anyone in K-1 to the extent that him losing the decision would cause the Japanese fans to protest the injustice as in the case of Sakuraba vs. Akiyama. And when was the last time someone's arm broke from a kick when the fight didn't involve Frank Shamrock?
PBF sure looked to have some 1-shot power when he made Hatton fly head-first into the ringpost, although maybe then you have to give the post some credit as well. ;)
How would Floyd handle teeps and leg kicks? His boxing stance wouldn't go over very well and his power would be gone after 4 or 5 kicks to the thigh.
LOL@the consistent fantasy worship of kicking techniques on this forum. Floyd would connect with multiple punches before the K-1 man could use his "teep kick", which he could also simply STEP OUT OF THE WAY OF
"Floyd would outland anyone in K-1 to the extent that him losing the decision would cause the Japanese fans to protest the injustice as in the case of Sakuraba vs. Akiyama"
Come on now Sensei Sanders, you know damn well Floyd is no volume puncher. If he fights like a man, he gets a limb broken. If he runs like he owes the IRS money, then he loses the decision

Unfortunatly for him, K-1 bouts do not go into the 10th round!
Buakaw or Masato would heavy bag him
and if he was silly enough to try philly shell he gets kicked in the dome
he simply does not have the skills to compete at that level of K1. those guys are not shitty athletes or mediocre technicians.
Diego stole my name - Come on now Sensei Sanders, you know damn well Floyd is no volume puncher. If he fights like a man, he gets a limb broken.
Yes or no, would he be fighting Frank Shamrock? LOL@people still buying that "arm got broken from a kick" script after little Shamrock revived it to get out of the match with Cung.
Sorry, that only happens when FRANK is in the ring! Floyd's arms would be fine.
If he runs like he owes the IRS money, then he loses the decision
What if he outlands his opponent at, say, a 5-1 rate simply by avoiding all of their meaningful strikes? If Floyd lands 5 punches and "Buakaw" lands 1 then the fight goes to the Money Man, my friend.

Floyd just teachin young brothas how to count and kick it decimal style bro
How does he defend kicks then? His lead leg is always out in front and when somebody attacks him he goes into the philly shell leaving his legs wide open...Completely different strategy needed.

PBF would fuckin PWN Masot or bucocki
"Sorry, that only happens when FRANK is in the ring! Floyd's arms would be fine."
Samkor vs Kobyashi
Or lower part of the body. Vince Phillips vs Masato
Face it, Floyd gonna be one limb short after the bout
That is if he doesnt do the Ray Mercer "What the fuck!! this aint the Marquis of queensbury rules, that fool kicked me, im gone!" boxing routine
"What if he outlands his opponent at, say, a 5-1 rate simply by avoiding all of their meaningful strikes? If Floyd lands 5 punches and "Buakaw" lands 1 then the fight goes to the Money Man, my friend."
He wont outland them 5-1, you forgot that he quits from a broken limb or simply because someone kicked him brah!!

No.Randy Couture.
Floyd has literally superhuman footspeed and is a superior athletic being. When the teep man throws his "teep" kick at the image of floyd in his brain he discovers it is merely a phatom, almost like a holoduke, and the man they call "the money man" has disappeared like that dude fromt hat movie about the dude from american beuty and hes like a bad guy
Not that we'll ever see it, but Buakaw, Masato, Souwer, Kyshenko, etc. would ALL leg kick PBF into a living death.
Conversely, none of them would see the third round against Floyd in a boxing match.
The problem for Floyd is his punching power, if he used his typical sniping he would be slaughtered with kicks.
You cannot lean against the ropes and use head movement and gloves to defend kicks to your legs etc..
Having said that, if Floyd trained kickboxing he would quickly become a favorite simply because K1 is so far behind in terms of striking levels
in fact according to zeno and his paradoxes of motion the k-1 stylists would NEVER be able to catch up with floyd literally and if you disagree refute those paradoxes
btw what makes you think flyod cant kick? just FYI kicking is illeagal in boxing so we have no idea if he can kick or not
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that leaning away isn't an effective defense against guys who can kick the shit out of your legs or just kick you in the face.
LOL either of them would kick the shit out of his legs and he'd have trouble moving after half a round.
Teach him how to check kicks and maybe its a different story. But if it happened tommorow, PBF doesn't stand a chance.
