The point is it's wishful thinking that Mayweather would land that 1 punch. He has no idea how to defend takedowns. Rousey in training takes down male MMA guys who are bigger than her. But somehow, Mayweather can do it. |

I have my doubts about even that. I like ronda a lot, but fighting a grown man with a lot of skills? Nah. I do not like her chances.

The crucial point of this hypothetical fun exercise is can she get close enough to him to take him down. I think, and most people would agree that its over if she gets him on the canvass because the armbar is a coming soon.

His entire strategy would be 'don't let her get close enough to tackle you'. He can handle that in his sleep. He fights the best athletes in the world for a living. Ronda is slow and weak compared to the worst fighter he's ever faced. He is quicker than she is. He is faster than she is. He is stronger than she is. He would absolutely murder her. I can't believe this is even a discussion. Professional bowling has a women's division...****ng bowling. Why? Because women can't compete with men even in a sport that requires as little physical rigor as bowling because women can't roll a ball as fast as men. But some chick beats up other chicks, so she can beat Floyd ****ing Mayweather. |

Rousey would clearly, obviously win and it wouldn't even be close.
Now, if you tell Mayweather 6 months in advance and have him train with a grappler working on nothing but takedown defense, then it wouldn't be a good matchup for Rousey at all, but right now he would not have any clue at all how to avoid getting thrown on his ass and put into an armbar.

The only way it ever happens is if the striker nails their opponent 30 seconds in the first round before they have a chance to close, and I don't really count that because thats not really what you are describing.

I think its also useful to point out that when we talk about takedowns, most people think about wrestling single or double-leg takedowns.
Rousey does not do that. She has perfected the hip toss, and a boxing clinch which Mayweather is very comfortable with getting into, is a near-perfect situation for a hip toss (which is obviously illegal in boxing). The boxing clinch is a crucial part of Mayweather's defensive game that he gets into several times every single round, you can't tell me he's going to successfully avoid it.

Somehow this reminds me of the Tyson vs. Lee debates.
Everyone just assumes that the martial artist is this master strategist and the boxer is a slow, lumbering dipshit that doesn't know how to defend himself against a takedown. Just exactly how the hell is Rousey going to get Mayweather to go to ground? The girls Rousey is hip-tossing aren't anywhere near as athletic as Mayweather. Moreover, once she gets him there, he's not going to just give her his arm. Finally, we've seen someone like Jon Jones simply be too damn strong to take out via a simple arm bar and Mayweather will have a similar relative advantage with regards to Rousey. Maybe in 10 fights, Mayweather screws up a couple of times and Rousey gets to him, gets him on the ground, gets a hold of his arm, gets it extended and gets a rip. But Mayweather's going to win the vast majority of those matchups. He's a brilliant fighter and among the best athletes in the history of the sport. He's not going to just stand there - he'll learn some basic defenses and lean on some pretty insane athleticism to pick his spots and poke/pop Rousey into the L.

She is slow. She is weak. Floyd would abuse her, and it would be painful to watch. |
