    Just watched that WWE wrestling match between Mayweather ( a 10.5 stone lightweight) against that giant Big Show on youtube and I am wondering who you say would win in a proper fight ( fight in the street )..

    Big show 7 foot 1, 500 pounds

    Big_Show_002.jpg

    Say against one of these hard hitters..

    Tyson 6 feet 215 pounds

    Vitali Klitschko 6 feet 6 240 pounds

    klitschkobongarts500_500.jpg

    Riiddck Bowe 6 feet 5 235 pounds

    All athletes at peak age/condition..

    Big show calls one of the boxers mothers a dirty Ho outside a cinema, both men run to towards each other, who wins?

    Buddy reckons the giant would win, as he just has to grab the boxer...

    I think if the heavyweights land a punch its over, they will tear him apart...

    My mother would beat him.

    Hes hardly a sports man

    Just an actor.

    I think the script decides who wins


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,556 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley


    a swift kick in the bag would cut him down to about 5'5" .. followed by a chuck norris round house kick to the head

    Instant fame

    Tyson would just rape him into submission

    He tried that with Holyfield.

    Holyfield didnt take to the ear nibbling.

    A UFC fighter would win.

    Wait... 1,500 lbs? Are you ****ing serious?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,243 ✭✭✭truecrippler


    Thats not his real height and weight, its close but not quite. (Doesn't watch wrestling btw :P)

    I remember the last time they had a wrestler fighting a boxer. It was Butterbean, I think. It was hilarious because it was an actual boxing match. Butterbean walloped the wrestler and knocked him out after only a few punches. I was kind of wondering if the Big Show match would be a proper fight or a rigged one. I'll have to check it out.

    the boxer, seeing as he's an athlete not an soap-actor/entertainer/clown

    Mayweather is not a heavy weight boxer but he would have floored the Big Show in 'real life' with one good slap.

    Mike "chewonanear" Tyson would kill the Big Sh'l'ow though, fat basta'd

    Agreed. Mayweather need only connect properly once and Big Show would be flat on his arse. Sure didnt he barely hit him and break his nose the first time they met.

    Wrestling used to be great back in the days of Bret Hart, Stone Cold and the whole Attitude era.

    Now its absolutely useless, ridiculous and even more far fetched, which is quite something considering its an act, not a sport.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,179 ✭✭✭FunkZ


    Wrestling isn't staged man, 'cause "Stone Cold said so..." :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,654 ✭✭✭kev_s88


    official weigh-ins for the fight were

    Mayweather: 5ft 1", 159 lbs
    Big Show: 7ft 1", 451 lbs


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 270 ✭✭idlesupernova


    The HHH,Rock,Austin,Mcmahon feuds were when wrestling was unmissable for me. Stagger in pissed at 1am and turn on Raw. Happy days!

    Man it should be three Mayweathers versus Big Show with a baseball bat!

    Well in fairness,BigSHow retired from pro wrestling and did spend the last couple of years training to be a pro boxer!?
    That would give him a bit more of a chance and if you throw in the fact that he has a 15inch fist, id say he would be knock anyone of those guys out, a ufc fighter might have a chance though

    Knock out Tyson, Vitali Klitschko etc!

    Couple of body shots/ uppercuts by those guys and its over imho...

    If a class heavyweight boxer put it all on the line and just went for a big bear like Big Show, its lights out...

    Big Show is huge and very very strong, but he does not have the speed, aggressiveness, sheer explosiveness or punch anywhere near as hard or fast as someone like Tyson/Klitschko at their peak...

    Big show can afford to swing his huge fist and miss against some tiny like Floyd, but if he doesnt connect with a powerful heavyweight and they catch him of balance, who knows...

    You need to watch one of the very early UFC's

    Sure Muhammad Ali fought Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki in 1975.

    when Ali realised it was gonna be a real fight, a great number of restrictions were put in place on Inoki. As he wasn't wearing gloves, no punches, no kicks above the waist, no head butts, basically no wrestling grapples/ moves. When the match started inoki went straight for Ali's legs, and basically spent the whole match (15 rounds) on his back kicking at Ali's legs.

    The fight was called a draw in the 15th round, Ali threw about 6 punches.

    :eek:

    Had no idea about this, must watch it now...

    Both guys 33, similar weight height etc, why do they wear the gloves though?

    Stupid...

    Ali isnt really suited to this kind of challenge though, doesnt really put in on the line and go straight for the kill, which you have to do against huge wrestlers...

    An aggresive animal like Tyson etc wouldnt give the wrestler the chance to stand off and not get into a punching match...

    Intriguing :D

    Theres not one specific boxer vs wrestler fight that stands out in my mind, but ufcs from 1 to maybe 12 were all about those guy from martial art 1 vs guy from martial art 2.


    Number one had a boxer vs a much smaller ju jitsu guy, jummerson vs gracie.

    Id say youd enjoy the Hackney Yarborough fight in number 3. Its a David vs goliath type fight.
