Erm no that's bullshyt tip was just pulling a bytch move to help advance his career.
The "arguments" as to whether or not a rapper, of any size or self-proclaimed "thuggishness", would stand a dying chance against a trained boxer in a no-rules street fight, has shown me that some of the dumbest and most ignorant people in the world congregate right here on this very website.
If you're one of the posters in here arguing that a rapper would last more than 10 secs in an all out brawl with Floyd Mayweather..
You. Yes you. Are stupid. As Hell.
People that have never done any combat training before have a warped perception of the reality of fighting. When you just watch fights on TV it looks easy, but when you actually train or fight you realize the skill that's required. The average person has no idea exactly how skilled an average pro fighter is, yet alone a guy like Floyd Mayweather. This thread is pretty much the equivalent of a guy that's never played basketball before thinking that he could be competitive against NBA players.
I fukk with tip but he lied about that whole flip shyt. TI still ain't release the tape of flip saying he's the king of the south.
To be fair
Bobino was drunk as hell and Huerta and them tried to jump him
Bobino got blindsided, once he got hit it was over then hey were stomping him when he was down
But yeah you're an idiot if you think t.i could last for 5 seconds with floyd
Wouldn't that make the professional fighter more dangerous
Not necessarily. What I'm saying, there's not a clear cut winner on either side if we're to just assume that the pro boxer would automatically slaughter someone who's not a pro boxer.

Train hard, fight easy
That is very true indeed, about the warped perception the general public has about the reality of fighting.
Add to it that everyone watches MMA and thinks that they can execute the same techniques in the heat of combat(which is when these techniques are required to be a reflex, not a move you 'remember' to do from watching it on tv and practicing it with friends) and there you have it, a thread on a forum with a shytload of people who think a "big" rapper would stand a chance against a trained fighter.
And the trained fighter happens to be Floyd Mayweather, at that.
It doesn't mean that it hasn't/couldn't/wouldn't happen or that it's out of the realm of reality. There's many factors that go into fight besides someone being professionally trained to compete vs. someone who hasn't had the training.

i am not a teacher/sifu and i don't discuss that knowledge.
every physical confrontation is different and about being malleable to the situation.
anything past that dealing with what i study, i don't disclose anymore, to anyone.
only way you would get an insight to what i do know, and have only one time talked about.
is in spoilers in a thread on here from way back.
that was deleted,....
only way to get a bit about it was from people quoting me.

The point I'm making is in regard to those emphasizing the weight classes in boxing as if T.I. was sparring in the ring with Mayweather. It's not necessarily about fighting dirty. It's the fact that you can't apply what Mayweather does in a ring to what could possibly happen in a fight with T.I. Do you really think Mayweather is going to stand there and box T.I.? Do you really think T.I. would really box Mayweather? Anything could happen in a fight and fighting itself isn't really a skill, but boxing is.

on the real.
suge was a football player that does what most football player types do.
hide within a pack and try to dictate shots.
one on one, greg tha barber ate suge's food.

That doesn't automatically mean that he's going to beat the breaks off someone in a real fight though. He's a professional boxer meaning he's trained to take on an opponent in a ring. His knowledge may give him an edge, but his opponent is whole other monster because everything is different. The boxer's mentality is different because he's not fighting someone that's just competing against him. It's not for show, titles, or money.

a PROFESSIONAL boxer does have an automatic advantage over a street dude.
i've taken martial arts when i was a teen and have taken down some of the most popular street dudes. 2 to be exact. street dudes get caught up in their "tough" image. there are r&b dudes who can put the beats on rappers/people.
rappers are just rappers. they're not fighters.
i know t.i. got this tough image and shyt but in reality he is a little light skinned dude. he rap like he has goons in his circle and where he/they come from they're untouchable. he's part of a pack. like most street dudes are part of packs. and resort their differences shooting or JUMPING other rappers.
selling drugs, acting tough on the mic, bragging to other rappers, pulling thots =/= being tough in reality.
he already pulled a no-show for his event so the score's settled.
most ppl can't even last 3 minutes in a fight. they get tired and already look. most street niccas don't have real fighting techniques.
At the end of the day, Mayweather and T.I. are still human beings underneath their "professional titles". In a fight, nothing is guaranteed. No one knows what the other person is going to do. Everybody is a fighter to some degree. If someone feels threatened, you don't know what that person is capable of. Just because one is a rapper and the other is a boxer doesn't necessarily give the boxer an automatic W.
Not every street dude can hold their own in a fight just like every trained boxer/fighter wins every fight against someone who isn't trained.
