Other Sports Ronda Rousey vs. Floyd Mayweather who would win? - Page 9

**BigRedChief** · 11-09-2015, 11:44 PM

Almost everyone agrees that if boxing rules were used Mayweather would win. No contest.

So here is the rules for our hypothetical fight:

Either no rules or UFC rules.

I think Rousey gets him into an armbar in the 1st round and its over.

Depends on if Mayweather actually trains for her. If he does not. He gets taken down and submitted.

if he trains with mma coaches about takedowns and grappling i think he wins by ko.

It is a fun what if.

You can't extrapolate the outcome of every fight between a boxer and an MMA guy from ONE example.

This is true. However, the best boxers are better at their craft than the best MMA fighters are at theirs. Boxing is a mature sport, and the techniques have been refined over hundreds of years. The earning potential in boxing dwarfs MMA, so the best trainers and coaches gravitate to boxing.

Somewhere in the world, there is a guy coaching professional mini golfers. That guy isn't Butch Harmon. The people who train female MMA fighters might as well be training mini golfers in terms of earning potential.

Unreal that there are many here thinking she would stand a chance, just absolutely ridiculous. She's not going to take him down, she would go to sleep trying. I would not want to see it.

I have a theory that Rhonda Rousey is probably somewhat overrated. People like to say that she is the best athlete at her sport. That may be true, but it may just be because most women don't dabble at UFC. Lets think about numbers.

What percentage of males participate in football growing up, whether it be flag football, middle school, high school, or just playing with friends in the neighborhood. Certainly above 50%, probably above 75%.

What percentage of females participate in organized fighting of other females, of any kind? Probably less than 1.5%. The participant rate of males is probably 10 to 20 times of this.

What does this mean? It means that Rhonda Rousey likely would not even be a drop in the bucket at MMA if female MMA was as popular to women as watching Shonda Rhimes TV shows. It's certainly fair to say that a larger percentage of the male population gravitates towards aggressive sports and UFC, Boxing etc than females. So, it's easy to argue that it's much more difficult for Mayweather to reach the pinnacle of his sport than Rousey to hers.

I'm not saying Rousey isn't good. She is. But she's 135 lbs, Mayweather is 151 lbs. I think Mayweather would likely win rather easily. If your argument is that MMA is an acquired skill that is more important to winning a physical confrontation than the art of boxing, I get it. But then realize that any decent male UFC fighter, even amateur, would likely devour Rousey.

If Floyd isn't able to knock her out as she charges in, he's in trouble.

If he doesn't knock her out? If? He turns her legs to jelly with the first jab he lands.

Why are there no naked pictures of Mayweather?

I'm also responding and saying a female based on her past grappling experience with MMA fighters could easily get inside and take down Floyd who has no grappling experience.

Your comparison is stupid because Bryce has experience batting and is probably the best player in the game while Floyd has no experience grappling or defending takedowns.

Nothing else to really say about it.

Bryce has no experience hitting softballs, and he has no experience hitting underhanded pitches, and Floyd is the best boxer in the sport. He's also in his prime.

The simplest way to summarize this is to say that Floyd is a one dimensional fighter geared towards stand up, and Rousey is a one dimensional fighter geared towards submissions. That said, Floyd is the most skilled fighter in history at stand up. He is the biggest shark in the ocean. Rousey has 12 career fights...all against women that nobody has ever heard of. She's the biggest guppy in a tiny, tiny puddle. Add in the fact that Floyd is much faster, much quicker, and much stronger, and it all adds up to a lopsided beating.

UFC best chance is to take to the ground where the boxer is unfamiliar.

Floyd is not a one shot type fight who specializes in knocking someone out quickly. That gives Rousey more of a chance to grapple.

But he's also not a mindless brawler that's going to give her an easy opening. It isn't as simple as just rushing in and grabbing a guy. Mayweather's going to leave himself avenues of escape precisely because he's a defensive fighter. And because of Mayweather's strength/athleticism advantage, Rousey's only really good shot at getting inside of him is on a counter attack, IMO.

A Mayweather jab is going to be harder than she's likely ever been hit and she's going to face dozens of those looking for a chance to get in and grapple with him.

I think the only kind of male fighter she could beat would be the brawler you're describing. It would only take one parry and a smart counter to get his balance off and get him to the ground. Mayweather, OTOH, simply doesn't lose his balance and he most assuredly wouldn't do so if he's not forced to slug it out. Rousey has no real chance of flat out knocking him out (she could only win by submission) so Mayweather wouldn't sell out to take a HR swing at her. He'd simply stay over his feet, stay on his toes, keep on the move and wait until she tires after the barrage of controlled jabs.

Exactly. A caveman brawler type would be her only chance of beating a professional boxer. The guy would have to make a huge mistake that she could capitalize on. Mayweather is not that man. He simply doesn't make mistakes.

Fights between men and women have happened, sanctioned or not. Lucia Rijker, one of the most celebrated female fighters ever, with a record against a depth of competition that Rousey could only dream of, got absolutely smoked when she stepped in against a man. The guy was a scrub journeyman and he put her out with one of the first semi-solid shots that he landed. Floyd KO Rousey the first time she gets close to him.

**Saul Good** · 11-10-2015, 02:13 PM

Who here thinks that Rousey would even attempt to throw a single punch?

You mean a lady boxer fought a men's boxer and lost?!

No way!

I'll take the bait.

I really don't think she would throw a punch. She wouldn't have to.

Despite all the shit she talks she would never step in with him. She won't fight another woman who is only 10 bigger than her let alone one of the best pound for pound boxers ever to live. She is just trying to stir up interest in herself and increase her pay per views.

Again, I'll emphasize that it won't take much.

Maybe he doesn't even need 6 months, just give him 3 tough months with a good coach training judo defense, and I don't think Ronda has a chance. But Ronda should be able to beat any similarly-sized boxer who is completely untrained in defending the hip toss.
