ESPN Reports: Floyd mulling move to MMA...

exactly.. as much as I rate Floyd in a boxing ring I can't see his fighting style working in MMA..

 

No way he would ever move over to MMA. The huge money makers in MMA don't even make what a fraction of Floyd does in his fights.

 

This is just way for Mayweather and Cuban do get their names out in the public again. No way this would ever happen.

 

AGREED...Floyd will be fighting jouneyman fighters that will probably get kod...boxers train to punch...mma train different styles but I bet if Floyd fights his punches will be a lot harder than his opponents...but he will have to worry about wrestling...

Floyd will fight 1 maybe 2 fights against no namers...ko them than back to boxing...

 

I wonder how far Mayweather could go in MMA if he really trained for it. I think if he got an amazing BBJ trainer and an amazing wrestling trainer and threw in some muay thai practice as well, he could certainly develop quickly and start by taking out some really soft touches. Whether he could go on from there and really compete at top level is less likely - but not to be ruled out.

 

Some of those bums are actually world class grapplers, BJJ submission experts & seasoned K1 fighters.

How would Floyd defend against takedowns or subs? How would he react to having his head held while a knee was lifted into his face? How would he defend against the ground & pound especially if elbows are allowed?

Floyd's only chance would be standing & striking and even then how much experience does he have defending against kicks?

 

There only chance would be to bull rush and get him on the ground. Stand toe to toe with him for a second at its over. He has world class speed and is the best boxer in the world. Some scrubby MMA schmuck wouldnt stand a chance. They do that kicking **** they catch a straight right lead, they try that grappling **** they get an uppercut to the jaw. They cant strike him, they cant kick him, so they try and bull rush, check hook into the side of the cage.

Boxing scrubs go to MMA, MMA scrubs dont go to boxing.

 

i dont know pbf threw some mean elbows against hatton. maybe hes on to something. hahahah

 

exactly, this is just a stunt. and i will not comment on this ever again.

 

Boxers retiring broke, and punch drunk has made a mochery of boxing.
Floyd Mayweather has made the sport a business that benefits himself.
I hope the future of boxing is more smart business, and less killing yourself to make someone outside of the ring rich

 

No way is this ever going to happen. Any publicity is good publicity.

 

It aint gonna happen. MMA needs Floyd a lot more than Floyd needs MMA.

 

:huh

Umm.......no. Not really.

 

If he wants to go to another fighting sport, then more power to him.

With serious training, I don't see why he couldn't be pretty good at it. He IS a great athelete, afterall.

Heck, Chuck Lidell was known for his striking ability and he always tried to stay standing up. He's a great sprawler and stays on his feet and always tries to just stand up and strike. He is a HORRIBLE striker, yet rose to the championship fighting with this method. Why is it impossible to think that someone who is a MUCH better athelete with much quicker reflexes couldn't also learn to sprawl and avoid take-downs?

 

Because Chuck Liddell is a big dude who is tough to take down, whereas Floyd would probably get tossed around like a ragdoll...

Look at Floyd's body type. Compare that to the body type of UFC welterweights like Matt Hughes or even their lightweights like Sean Sherk. PBF just doesnt have the physique of a ground fighter.. Floyd would be overpowered and manhandled.

I'd like Mayweather to win in a fight standing up, but's face it... any MMA guy who fights him would immediately go for the takedown. Try to slap an armbar on him, choke him out, or pound him into submission with elbows.. Floyd has trained his whole life to be the p4p best boxer and these MMA dudes have trained their whole life in their wrestling/jiu-jitsu/Muay-thai techniques. To assume Floyd would automatically just learn wrestling and takedown-defense with a few weeks of training is just asinine.

Floyd has too much to lose by making this ballsy move. WILL NEVER HAPPEN. GUARANTEED
