Pro's vs. Joes?
Hilarity.
There's a thread with several hundred posts in it in the general boxing forums where EVERY poster there, literally, is completely confident they could beat boxers lighter than themselves.
Flashforward to reality and we have a 44 year old Whitaker, after being a crackhead for years, out of shape kicking the SHIT out of 220 pound men. While laughing. While they can't touch him.
An ancient shot Gatti was actually letting loose and damn near killing guys over 200 pounds.
People don't seem to understand the facets of being a fighter. The abilities, skills and mentalities these guys have.

Considering his age/condition and everything else, pretty incredible.
Those guys are all athletes of some kinds themselves, too.

Pernell Whitaker would have murdered him if he was 22. :good

I saw both. It was obvious that either of them could have knocked their guys out if they felt like it. The guys they fought were all screwed up after it too. I was laughing when the one was acting like they weren't going easy.

even though i do say that some of the other esb guys might be able to box as they do know the sport or at least respect the techniques.
they would get murded by a decent shape guy. pernell and gatti may be small in hieght but they are strong men and can judge there distance and land at will because the other guy dont know what they are doing.
this is also a reason why i feel boxing is a more rounded self defence than most martial arts becuase the main idea is to land the hardest and throw the fastest shots possible.
people who like mma seem to think that boxing is one dimensiional should look at most of the strikers in the sport today.
thats really made my day that pernell left cross

I'd love to see Mike Tyson on that show.
Oh, come on. You know you'd love it.

I certainly would.
Even an old washed-up fat coke-addict Tyson could throw that one punch.
I wouldn't mind seeing a guy like Toney on there. Lay on the ropes and just pick the guys off.

Same here.
I mean, it's one thing to do what 99% of the people here do and talk shit about Gatti when on a message board, but it's another thing entirely to have him staring across the ring at you.

Roy Jones Jr. Was also on the show.
If you watch the video you'll notice Whitaker is not using mouthpece. Clearly he was not concerned about getting hit.

Toney is the kind of fighter who'd still beat the shit out of them if he was seventy.

Funny, isn't it? :lol:
There was a guy in the general forum called Ambition Def who gave himself a 20% puncher's chance against Wladimir Klitschko, because he was 210lbs and a trained.......... computer programmer. :lol:
A lot of people who don't box don't know how hard it really is.

Oh... My... Fucking... Lord.
Yeah, I'm 220 pounds... I can hit like Corrie Saaaaaaaaanders!
People forget that guys a world class athlete... when he's being LAZY. In several sports.

Roy was on the first season.
He took it easiest of all three of these guys.

I asked my sister's boyfriend, a guy named Alex, if he thought he could beat a smaller professional boxer than himself. He replied yes.
Alex has no experiance in Boxing and isn't an athlete of any kind.I'll show him these fight and see if he changes his mind.
Russell

You should spar with him, bust his lip, and change his mind.
