In BJJ, the blue belt signifies the ability to defeat a larger, stronger opponent that is untrained (or should do, as defined by Helio Gracie.)

A boxers garb has no signals to represent ones proficiency. So what would an amateur boxer have to look like, perform, and demonstrate his proficiency in order for a coach (or an experienced boxer) to think that person could defeat a larger, stronger but untrained opponent?

Have a few amateur fights, ideally winning at least one

I always thought this was such a remarkably low standard, Because no kidding 12 weeks of boxing or less will get you to the same level then what up to 2 years of bjj? that's ridiculous

5-6 months of boxing should be way more than enough to beat someone who has never fought in their life even if they outweigh you by 80 pounds

Yes but the 2 years bjj guy is absolutely smoking mister 12 weeks boxing majority of the time, same for >>220290

Bro, your average blue belt struggles to pull of a shitty collar drag let alone a proper takedown. Starting from standing up in an actual all out fight, that blue belt is nearly useless.

Look sharp, be in above way average shape cardio wise, have good volume in your punching
