    Alright, BJ Penn vs. Floyd Mayweather, who wins!!!!!!!!!

    Obviously, this is a stupid question, it makes about as much sense as saying who would win - Michael Jordon or Tiger Woods.

    Because, Mayweather and Penn are both athletes - that's where the similarities end. Mayweather is a professional boxer, and Penn is a mixed-martial artists.

    So, Floyd knocks Penn out in a boxing match, and Penn submits Floyd in a MMA match. What would either event prove?

    The answer is nothing.

    Let's stop comparing these two wonderful sports. It's like chocolate and orange juice; you don't mix them, you appreciate them seperately.

    I never compare these two sports and like both of them, so don't label me as a hater. Mayweather loses no doubt in my mind, but I am arguing that NO ONE would stand and trade with him; that would be the dumbest move ever

    Another cameo in WWE or a film is more likely.

    When a world champion does make the transition to the UFC, which will def happen eventually, it wont be a defensive slickster like Mayweather itll be a comeforward power puncher with 12 months take down defence training in the bag. imo a hard hitting boxer with the correct defensive abilities will inevitably win the UFC title, that is basically what Chuck Liddel is/was and he isnt much of a boxer.

    Mayweather would never fight in MMA.

    No way in hell, that's ridiculous. You think he doesn't have the motivation for some really big-money fights(DLH rematch or Cotto) yet he will have the motivation to benefit a "sport" he always bashed on?, doesn't make sense and there's no way they'll offer him more money the boxing fights he can go for.

    With the correct trainers and a lot of time to train in wrestling and jiu-jitsu, so he could adapt to MMA and then being fed easy opponents to begin with, it´s possible for him to do ok in that sport.

    But I think if he had trouble motivating himself for boxing, he probably won´t be getting into another sport at all. Most likely he´ll opt for advertising and acting, like in the WWE or small roles in TV shows / movies.

    I think the major announcement has something to do with Takanori Gomi.

    Trust me, i agree but they did do an article on him training at extreme couture. And the UFC people don't give a flying **** about his loss. He's a big name. Remember, it was suppose to be Rua vs Liddell for today's UFC main event. Rua, after getting starched by Forrest Griffin, getting the main event.
