    Please, ***ist much? By that line of reasoning, its a joke to call Floyd pfp king, because we know lighter weight men effing suck compared to bigger men. You know what they say, pfp is just a way to make little people feel better about themselves. How long would Floyd v Wlad last? I'd say Wlad brutally ko's him in Rousey like time. Technically I think Wlad is pfp king, and HW's are usually greatly underrated on pfp, but even I'd still admit pfp has its place.

    Would prime Tyson beat Rousey in probably any kind of combat match? Yes. Is Rousey's accomplishments as great in their own way as Tysons? Yes. I can't recall a series of 1 minute stoppages like this in any combat sports history. You just have to take her physical limitations into account just as you would lighter weight classes for men.

    Are you literally so ret@rded that you will sh!t on your own argument by taking the sarcastic WWE comment seriously? "I'd rather watch WWE".. Both are f*cking sh!t you moron.

    Tyson gets paid to endorse the UFC, it takes an idiot not to know that. I suppose it's a good marketing tool given by your dumba$$ falling for the endorsement hook line and sinker.

    Now go dress up in your little spandex and play wrestling with your brother in the garden you fool.

    You're not taking into account the (lack of) quality of opposition. Female mma fighters are a much smaller pool. Every time she fights they say there's nobody else for her to beat then all of a sudden they hype up some nobody.

    And the reasoning is not the same with P4P, it's all within the same sport (male boxing and female MMA)

    Lol.. You're to stupid to realize that neither of us follow MMA, show me where I said I watch MMA... Again, all I did was post the irony of the OP argument.. Why you chose to take that personally, I don't know..? Whether Tyson really gets paid by the UFC, be honest, neither of us know this as fact. If you can provide the proof, I will take a look at it.. Otherwise STFU..!! But either way, he was quoted as saying these things about Rousey..

    Why don't you just admit that you overreacted to my stating a FACt to the OP.. I will accept your apology, the way you accept cawks!!

    Quality of opp is a legit but debatable thing to take into account. I'm inclined to agree that her comp is proportionately lesser than Tyson's, but people criticize Tyson's comp too.

    I think what you're saying in the second paragraph is that your attacking MMA, not comparing females to men, which I'm cool with. The reasoning is entirely appropriate for the original poster, who simply said it was wrong to compare men and women, all the while comparing lower weight men to higher weight men. That was absurdly hypocritical

    No I am incensed by stupidity. And if you read your initial post, it was laced with that and ignorance. Tyson endorses her so that means she's as good as Tyson or should be compared to him? Like are you really that dumb?
    And who is "neither of us"?

    Nah he said women suck compared to men at fighting, or whatever else. Technically speaking, they do. But "Floyd sucks compared to Wlad" is not a like for like comparison... the only advantage there is weight. The disadvantage with women is that their level of competition is lower for many reasons,!one of which being that the pool is much smaller therefore there is obviously less quality across the board.

    Your last point, about competition, is a good one, otherwise, no. Wlad's advantage is not just weight, but height, power, and many other factors. They all turn on weight, to some extent, it is true. But that's equally true of male/female advantages. Being male usually gives you some degree of strength, and perhaps other athletic advantages relevant in combat sports, over a similarly situated female, in the same or similar way that weight gives advantageous attributes.

    I don't know what was so hard to comprehend about my initial post.. Maybe I can draw a picture for you..

    You, me, and Tyson are having a convo.. Somehow Rousey comes up.

    I look to you and say-- how bout that Rousey, she's killing everybody, she reminds me of ol Tyson right here.. She's KO everybody in under a minute... She's the female MMA version of Tyson..

    You get this ugly look on your face and say--- hell no, she's garbage, her comp sux.. She hasn't done anything.. That's an insult to my friend Tyson right here.

    So, I turn to Tyson and he says---- I don't know PBA, she's a bad *****.. She's a beast, she's killing everyone put in front of her.. She kinda reminds me of me when I was younger...

    So, what am I supposed to say next..?? Fk you Tyson, you don't know ****... You're a dumbass to say that about her... Who the fk are you to make that comparison?? You must be getting paid to say that...

    That's all I was saying about the OP.. Lol

    chill people it's just hype. Zuff/UFC are a hype factory, there's all there is to it. But I have to say this, Ronda is not even the most exciting female ufc fighter. Joanna Jedrzejczyk is!

    I don't see your point because Tyson fought weak competition.

    Well, mostly they're boring armbarms. But its like her competition just lies down for her. they all talk a good talk, I thought this Bethe chick would actually outbang her on their feet but its the girl didn't even get set and rhonda just bumrushed her and finally got a legit KO. It was just a street fight basically. But its like once the fight starts, these girls just let Rhonda do whatever she wants for them. Its weird how far apart she is from these inferior competitors. Its just strange to me.

    true, and its sad a little, I just think Tyson appreciates being spoke about in this context. I know him and Rhonda have met several times and like each other so i definitely can see him being cool with it.
