Okay, this topic should just die...
A bodybuilder isn’t trained to fight in a boxing ring, he isn’t trained to fight in a cage, what a bodybuilder trains for is to build muscle mass, tone muscle mass, build symmetry so who cares? Really? I can name some bodybuilders who can jump into a full sqlit, but those are very renown bodybuilders, that doesn’t mean they can do well in against any boxer... and it also depends on the boxer and the bodybuilder. Do you know what boxers train for? They train to build muscular endurance, very good footwork, a lot of conditioning and to box? Obviously.
Now stop making such useless topics.
Boxer wins
Reason: The boxer trains to fight, the bodybuilder trains to build muscle.
Edit: and if you are talking about the streets, boxers are still very likely to win because of the impressive footwork they have on them and their guard. Also they have very good fast twitch muscle fibers, something a lot of bodybuilders don’t have, why? Because they are bodybuilders!Shit.

I actually know alot of people that think a bodybuilder would beat a boxer.And yes I know the bodybuilder has no chance against a boxer,since I have expirience with such fights :P.I just wanted to see.If someone is actually so stupid to think that the bodybuilder wins.Oh and yes I did it for the lulz to!:P
boxer ought to win in both , strength without purpose is pretty worthless , a boxer is gonna be pretty tough and likely pretty strong anyway and they throw very hard punches , if the bodybuilder has no fighting skill hes not gonna know what to do and he’l get smashed.

This is an extremely vague topic.
Are both the fighters the same weight? how heavily conditioned are they? What is the age? Has the bodybuilder never gotten into a fight? Has the boxer never lifted any weights?
I wouldn’t say the bodybuilder has no chance, not at all. I would say the fight is very one sided if the bodybuilder has no training in the field he is taking part in.
I would say 85% boxer would win, 15% Bodybuilder would win.
Bodybuilders train to sculpt their bodies, Boxers train to win fights.
Stupid thread, I am not going to lock it.. as it hasn’t served its purpose yet. I will wait till it gets near the bottom of the list.

I would like to respond to comments made by Rosputin. His comments to a large degree appear to make the statement that a larger muscular person (in the form of a bodybuilder) means they do not have the capacity to move their limbs quickly because of their large muscle mass. And that a boxer’s training somehow endows him with the ability to move his own body limbs more quickly (obviously he is referring to delivering a punch faster than the bodybuilder in question. I am adddresing this issue because, despite Rosputin’s other comments on why a boxer would prevail, he particularly emphasised that a boxer’s certain victory would be due to his greater possession of white fibre muscle composition, also known as fast twitch fibres. In doing so Rosputin has evinced a fundamental ignorance in physiology and anatomical knowledge in asserting the diffrence between the bodybuiler and the boxer. If Rosputin would care to bring his biological knowledge up to date he would realise that when engaging in heavy resistance training and exercise, such as weight ligting, bodybuilding or powerlifting, one is actually engaging the white fibre-fast twitch muscle fibre groups. This is a fact which can be checked by referring to any basic text or journal on the subject. Therefore, the bigger the muscle mass an indiual person posses, the greater capacity to engage in fast limb movement to which he refers. As an example of what I am talking about many bopdybuilders have actually taking up boxing and evinced them selves as very capable fighters and vice versa. I am not going to go into a long presentation of examples where these situations have transpired. My point is that Rosputin has based his conclusions on an inaccurate understanding of biology. In other words Rosputin should take care of any bodybuiler who has taken the time to do any moderate to serious training on the punch bag etc. (and many do) Why? Well he needs to take note of the the sagious observation of a former leading trainer in the sport of rugby who said: “A big good’en will alwys be better than a little gooden”
