Joe Rogan still defends her nuttiness.

It is what it is. Most casual fans who don't follow her day to day won't know or won't care. They'll still buy her PPVs just to watch her dominate.

She wouldn't stand and bang. She'd keep her hands up long enough to take him down whether it's a throw or a single leg/double leg takedown -- which she isn't known for, but she'd know he wouldn't be able to stop it. She knows where his biggest weakness is: fighting off his back. The interesting part to me is if he can connect clean enough to rock or KO her as she's coming in to make it close and personal. Sprawl and brawl is what he needs to do.

LOL, Mayweather throws lead rights to the body quite often, keeping your "hands up" and getting hit repeatedly in the stomach by the heaviest puncher you've ever faced doesn't sound like a winning strategy. He doesn't just headhunt, the lead right to the body sets up and masks when he throws it to the head, which is a KO punch vs her.

That lead right looks the same to opposing BOXERS, who can't time it, he has hurt people badly hitting them in the stomach with it. Just keep your "hands up".....

She hasn't fought long enough in a single match to make that determination though.

She has her armbar and fast hands. Floyd is physically stronger and fast, both reaction wise and hand wise.



No Rules would mean no gloves. He's quick enough to stay on his feet and get good hits in to KO before she has a chance to get a clinch.

Her advantage is with the armbar. She would have to get him to the ground and in a clinch tight enough for her to use it.

She's an Olympic medalist in Judo. Saying she "has her armbar and fast hands" is a drastic oversimplification of her skillset.

It's a good thing that she's saying all of these things and it will never, ever happen.

I'd love to see them work around it as a "sparring match", though.

When the queen of downhill skiing, Lindsey Vonn, wanted to go against the men she was shut down too. Too bad because I believe she really had a shot, incredible skill and is just dominating in the world cup.

And yeah, no question Ronda, boxer vs MMA in MMA rules? No chance in hell.

Hands up doesn't mean she's just protecting her face/head. She'd be slightly crouched forward with her hands up and elbows down protecting body shots as she shot for the clinch or takedown. He's so far removed from his element I could scream underhooks as she started to grapple and he'd be lost. By time it happened he'd be thrown and submitted, or she'd land in side position with one of his arms trapped as she punched him in the face.

He'd throw one lead right to the body, step back and throw the same punch to the head and she'd cover her body.

Miesha Tate & Bethe landed punches on her, Mayweather apparently wouldn't.

lol, Floyd average competition is 100x better that anyone Ronda is ever gonna face, right now she is afraid of fighting Cyborg.

It's out there and it's not even hard to find.

Personally, there's no doubt in my mind that she would break his arm. People just have a very inflated idea of what a boxer can do against an mma fighter. Even kickboxing savants really really struggle in a "no rules" context.
 
Ever since Bones Jones snorted the powder and lost my respect, Rousey has been my go to fighter. Plus, she seems like the most genuine personality in the league (besides the whole Sandy Hook thing... yikes.)

I'd pay big bucks for this fight and without question she'd win out in a no rules game but what she's capable of really isn't in Mayweather's wheelhouse, he's a boxer.

Throw them in a boxing match and Rousey goes lights out in seconds.
 
Floyd is a faster, stronger striker than anyone she would ever face. People are getting caught up in the fantasy of Rousey beating him in a non boxing match not realizing he's physically and technically better than her at throwing punches while also being one of the most elusive boxers in history. She can try to charge, grab, throw kicks etc but he's faster than her in every way and would be able to avoid such situations. Rousey isn't very good at protecting herself. She'd be two pieced and knocked out so fast it'd make your head spin. It's a fun thing to imagine but let's be real people; No version of this fantasy matchup would end with Rousey winning.

Very well put. I'm boggled that people are of the mindset that any other outcome is possible.
 
She talks more about Floyd than he does about himself and trust me, Floyd loves to talk about himself. I do not believe she can beat Floyd Mayweather, not in a controlled match with rules and no holds-barred free fight.

They aren't boxers. She wouldn't fight him the same way. She would most likely move in right away and if she got caught... oh well. That's it. She knows she can stand toe-to-toe and he knows he can't let her get a hold of him. I say she does at least once.

Would she refuse unless Floyd dropped to 135?

Only if he signed with UFC and there was only a 135 and 115 division for him and he said he would drop so he could retire her. Whatcha waiting for, wuss?

LOL.......

If she fights Cyborg and loses, does that mean Cybrog could beat Mayweather as well?

You can't "avoid" a leg takedown. You have to know how to defend against it, which Mayweather does not.

Edit: I'm surprised by a lot of people in here tbh. It's already been proven that MMA fighters who only have a striking game don't stand a chance. Grappling is WAY more important when there are no rules.

I know you have to be aware of styles make fights, correct? Ronda's advantage over Cyborg against Mayweather is the grappling game.

I'd take wrestlers/grapplers/BJJ over boxers any day and they'd win most of the match-ups.

You use a gif of an individual that isn't an experienced boxer as anectdotal evidence that Floyd would suffer the same fate. If you are familiar with Floyds style you'd know that he doesn't attack first. He's a counter and evade boxer. Translation, he'd wait for Rousey to attempt a move like that and then strike. Funnily, Rouseys style of attack first plays right into Floyds hands. Like I said, she not good at protecting herself. She's taken some hits but has simply had the advantage of being physically superior than her opponents. If she charges for Floyds legs like that he'd get in two quick punches to the side and front of her head and she would not get back up.
 
Majanew said:
Yep, you can tell those that have zero MMA training.

You can also tell those who just believe MMA > Boxing regardless of the fighters. We aren't comparing a shot Paulie Malignaggi vs Jose Aldo. We are comparing a female MMA fighter who has no comp in her division to a an all time great boxer who's heavier, more powerful, quicker, and more accurate. Ronda isn't winning against him.

These guys have no idea what they're talking about, back pedalling and off his back foot he has the power to badly hurt other men....but she'll just charge in and that's it.

I really hope some of you guys that do wrestling try to rush a really fast & sound boxer, once you wake up tell me how it went.

In a boxing match, no. In MMA, he's the one out of his element. He still has a puncher's chance, though. She may be a woman (OMG) but she is capable of grabbing him and he doesn't know what to do if that happens. He's not a big dude.

He has to get the shots off. He could catch her, sure; but if he doesn't, then what? And your gifs showing boxers fighting a boxer with their hands dropping to throw a punch means nothing. She shouldn't be foolish enough to throw a punch.
 
I'm not huge into the boxing scene and really only watch MMA, but the amount of people saying Rousey would "just charge in" is crazy. While she's "just charging in" he's going to be throwing punches. He's not gonna stand there dumb. She needs to take it to the ground to win, and he's going to do his best to hit her hard before she gets the chance/while she tries.

Really it comes down to the size and power advantage he has, and I don't think she could take the hits she'd need to to grapple him.

The last paragraph is all that needs to be said.

Ronda would also have to move up on weight, or Floyd would have to move down in order for it to happen.

So basically any MMA fighter could beat any boxer in similar weight division, regardless of experience or skill. Hence Ronda can Floyd. Makes zero sense.

Grapplers have an advantage against strikers in MMA. They train to beat strikers, while strikers can't do shit against grapplers on the ground (they try some basic technique but can't keep up). It's why BJJ is pretty much required if you are serious about competing in MMA.

If you think Ronda would spend 1 second attempting a striking game against Mayweather then you're wrong. She would never attempt to throw a punch and leave herself vulnerable. She would close the distance, get her hooks in him and take him down, and he would have no answer for that. If he's able to evade her and keep the distance than he wins, but I just don't see it happening. Closing the distance in boxing is not the same as closing the distance in MMA.

In an MMA fight, any professional MMA fighter could beat any professional boxer in a similar weight division. That's like....common sense.

I've wrote that nowhere. I just wrote about styles making fights on this page. I'd take a wrestler like Chris Weidman to beat any boxer around his weight. GSP also as his takedowns are unstoppable.
 
I feel like she has said this exact same thing like 20 times about him or other boxers. Im surprised that it manages to qualify as a news bite over and over again.

So again with this discussion about Rousey beating Mayweather doesn't make sense. He has more experience, stronger, faster, heavier. Only benefit that Rousey has is she does MMA something that Mayweather doesn't do. So if she's winning this fight it's ONLY because she does MMA. Nothing else is on her side.
 
Mayweather gifs are the best. The dude has so much Damn skill and the quickest reflexes. He really is so far apart from the next best boxer.

Watching Rhonda strike is really embarrassing but her judo/submissions are top notch.
