    thanks dude :good

    its such a bizarre match up to consider

    trust me I would like nothing more than to see Ronda arm bar Floyd, lmao, no male part of me would be upset if she beat him, I think she would have a good chance to beat him, I just don't think its out of the realm of reality that his speed is so good he could back peddle all over the place while pot shot-ting her and technically one of those pot shots could stun her more than any of the shots she has yet been hit with.

    Ronda still makes the classic mistake of closing space with her chin up and comes in way too straight imo. That's a dangerous way to close space on top notch strikers.

    Don't get me wrong, I think she would probably beat him, I just don't think its out of the question that he tags and hurts her with his great speed and mobility.

    And as i mentioned before, all it takes from a boxer is one punch to put someone to sleep.

    Yeah, that's also true. PBF sucks, but he is freaking fast, and I agree that it just might be possible to evade the takedowns for long enough to seriously mess her up. If she got her hands on him, though, she'd tie him up like a shoelace and snap those breadstick arms :D

    Floyd would have the power to put Rousey flat on her back with a jab.

    A man fighting like that would have multiple KO losses on his record. Luckily for Ronda she is fighting girls who suck. Just to give you some perspective on the level of WMMA, Sara McMann recently entered a grappling tournement and got submitted in 30 seconds by a 16 year old BJJ blue belt.:lol:

    No it isn't. :lol::lol:

    The chance of someone landing a takedown on someone compared to a KO is MUCH easier.

    A straight KO is VERY hard to make happen. So, you think the minute a Boxer hits someone they go to sleep? :lol::lol:

    Az, go outside and get some fresh air.

    This is an elite male striker vs a weaker, much, much slower woman. Mayweather would easliy land punches on her and when he does he would knock her out.

    The garbage women fighters she currently faces have no trouble landing on her ffs.

    I guess what we are really arguing about is: does the edge a MMA fighter has over a boxer outweigh the edge a man has over a woman? It's all a matter of opinions ... :?

    Mayweather stops nobody. Does he stop a woman? Sure.

    But remember! If you're within punching distance, you're also ready to be grabbed!

    Floyd's style does not translate well to fending off grapplers, man or woman.

    Have you ever trained with women? The first thing you notice is how slow they are, it's like they are moving in quicksand. Poor female fighters with no punching technique, no speed and no power have landed on Rousey and have clearly buzzed her pretty good, so Mayweather would have no trouble landing on her as she comes in, difference is he would have to power to knock her out cold with a single shot.

    Rousey is slow as hell, flat footed, moves forward in a straight line, chin up in the air, not moving her head, eats some punches, grabs, throws, submits. That's the only way she knows how to fight. Now she can do this in the womens UFC and still win easily as she an Olympic class judoka fighting accountants, soccor moms, waitresses and strippers. But gainst an elite male stiker like Mayweather things would be a little different:lol:

    That's another way of saying you've never had a fight.

    The difference Is, I have.

    Here's a video of Bert Cooper vs undefeated street fighting champion Joe Savage.
