Do you think you can take this guy in the boxing ring?

Damn bully ;D

Well I'm 6'1 and weigh about 150lbs. Got a fairly long reach too.

So by my estimations I'd be unconscious in about 30 seconds.

Of course I can, I will help him through the ropes but who is he going to fight?

If I could hit him then I could hurt him.

I'm 6 foot, 175 lbs and have sparred hundreds of rounds and had 3 boxing "smokers", or unauthorized matches.

I've sparred a fair amount of professional MMA fighters, including one who is now fighting in the UFC at featherweight since the WEC just merged into the UFC.

The featherweight being 135 lbs never hurt me but he was very fast and got the better of me in sparring a couple of rounds.

Admittedly I've never sparred anyone even close to as talented as Calderon.

But I honestly do not think a 5 foot 108 lb man could hurt me, unless I absolutely fatigued myself and then I'd be screwed.

Problem is I'm not sure I could hit the man. I most likely could not.

I told him the same thing another time; we used Calderon for a couple of days. I said, “Go ahead and hit that little mother.” Again, he couldn’t do it."

haha yea man.

it's hard to say really. There still is some validity to the if you hit the guy logic. I know I've sparred some world class fighters in lower weights, and just the size difference alone gave them such an edge in the speed dept it is unreal. If they are defensive wizards, forget it. It's like you are better off fighting world class your own weight, then some tiny midget. At least if you get smashed, you prob get a few in, and won't look or feel nearly as stupid doing so.
