    Only if Penn is stupid enough to (try) outstrike Mayweather. But in a normal situation , under mma rules... As soon as Both are in the clinch...Mayweather goes to the ground and gets subbed.

    Floyd would have a puncher's chance.

    Floyd walks around at at least 20 pounds less than BJ! We should be talking about Floyd vs Aldo, Faber and Brown. Even they probably walk around heavier than Floyd.

    Aldo would beat the **** out of Floyd standing up.

    :good

    Surely, no human being that has ever existed could be so dumb tbh matel! So the TS is obviously just a sad, pathetic creation, trolling for some much needed attention (The ****ing loser).

    a KO artist - boxer would have a good chance to win an MMA match. but you're talking to a top MMA fighter against a defensive boxer. shoulder roll ain't gonna work against a leg kick or a takedown.

    I think that Floyd would transition very well because of his ability to move, and counter give angles, not stay in the pocket and get taken down

    His stance is horrific for mma. He is ripe to get single leged and get the crap kicked out of his front leg.

    If he changed his stance his technique would have to change.

    Mayweather has also never even tried to defend a takedown. Movment does not stop takedowns from a good wrestler... or even get near stopping them.

    If you were not a really good takedown artist or not a really good kickboxer, I could see how Floyd could create some problems.
