It's really silly. Floyd would be standing on his stick legs ready to throw some punches and a guy like mcgregor would spinning back kick the fool into tomorrow. Goodnight sweet prince sorry you never had a chance to show us your flurry of fists.

Again....a MALE fighter, sure. But not Rousey, or any other female. Too much physical difference.

Regardless, you folks keep saying that "if Mayweather gets in the Octagon, he'll lose to a top male MMA fighter".

Well NO SHIT. It's a different sport. It's not what he does. And if he steps on the golf course against Jordan Spieth, he'll lose that, too.

They are different sports. If the MMA fighter steps in the ring with Mayweather, he'll get the crap beaten out of him, too. Works both ways.

But if it's a FEMALE UFC fighter....she's not beating Floyd, or any male UFC fighter. Too much of a physical mismatch.

I don't agree. How about that! In Ronda's case anyway. The rest of her division is trash. Maybe holly holms. Actually holly holms would beat up mayweather.

Really?

http://www.iwflsports.com/

And maybe consider from this point forward cooling it with the spouting off like a know-it-all prick who thinks his word is gospel truth and stating your opinions as cold hard facts. Just a suggestion.

And maybe you should pull your head out of your arse and get a better grasp of the English language.

By "really no women's teams", that doesn't mean or imply "literally ZERO teams". Clearly, that wasn't obvious to you, so allow me to clarify that point.

There are thousands of men's football teams. So there are "really" not any women's teams in comparison, are there? And I don't notice you disagreeing with the actual point, which was a team made up of the best women you can find around the world couldn't compete physically with a decent high school boy's team. And THAT is a fact that really can't be argued against with any modicum of logic.

nobody has to get into punching range. The MMA fighter will dictate the range with kicks against a boxer. And any MMA fighter watching tapes and planning how to fight floyd would kick the shit out of him - literally.

As for your men are better then women thing - ok. I'm not even arguing that. In fact I've never even thought about it before because its a weird thing to fixate on.

Well, my point is that it IS a stupid thing to fixate on, yet millions of people seem to be doing just that with Rousey vs Floyd. I merely pointed out that there is just too huge a physical mismatch and provided examples. Probably a bit over-the-top, but everything I posted is true, and anyone who is honest knows it.

As far as the Rousey vs Floyd...again, why is it that HE has to get into the Octagon? If she's so keen to fight him, do a charity boxing match. She is the one, after all, who keeps calling him out. Let's be honest: She wants no part of him in reality. She (and UFC, too) is simply using his name to build hers up.

It's kind of like the Rousey vs Cyborg thing....she won't put on weight (which would be easy for her to do) to fight Cyborg and is insisting Cyborg cut weight to come down to her...because Cyborg is A) a legitimate threat, and B) challenging her.

But somehow, that doesn't work for her vs Floyd. She doesn't want to box him, but all the comparisons are in the Octagon. Why is that? Because she is in the same place in this comparison as Cyborg is when compared to Rousey. The one trying to build up her name.

She'd get smoked in the ring. No chance, whatsoever. However, Floyd DOES have at least some chance in the Octagon, because he's faster, quicker, and stronger. He COULD win there. Might not, but he COULD. But he would win 100/100 times in the ring boxing.

because millions of people know floyd doesnt ever get into real fights.

And lol - so you want ronda to be at a even bigger disadvantage by making her box? Fine under the boxing rules mayweather would win. Thats so not what we have been talking about.

Cyborg is a roided monster who has to come down to 135 to fight for the....wait for it...Bantamweight belt (because that belt is at 135). ITs not Rondas job to go to cyborg. Cyborg just needs to lose some muscle mass and she will be 135. You need to stop. Nobody is telling cyborg to cut to 135 - she cant! She needs to lose muscle mass that she has built up with steroids. Then we will have a fight.

Don't disagree about Cyborg. My point is, Cyborg is the one expected to make the change because Ronda is the one SHE wants to fight. Right?

Yet the folks talking about Ronda vs Floyd insist on him coming to HER domain. They totally concede that he'd crush her at boxing.

Do we see the irony? The ones talking about whether SHE could beat him at HER game....they are asking a well-known fighter from a completely different sport to beat her at her own game. Then, most folks STILL think he can win unless she can get him on the mat.

What does that tell us? Comparing a man from a totally different sport and he still has a shot at beating her at her sport. Think about it, folks.

She would beat him at her game. And he would beat her at his game. I think ronda would beat a lot of 135 mma guys up.

Cyborg has popped once for roids, where does this roided up monster bit come from? Long term speculation at it's best. Yeah she's manlybwith all that muscle but it could be natural. Either way Rousey and her camp kn;ow they will get smashed if she moves up to fight her.

If she built muscle up to 145 she would then need to crash it down to go back to normal defense. If cyborg wants to get paid $$$ she needs to make weight. That should be her primary focus at this point - $$$$$

I'm only pointing out 1 fail doesn't make a roid monster and that Rousey is afraid to fight her. Cyborg is trying to move down but it may not be possible because of losing all the muscle mass. Yet Rousey fought at 145 before and said she would fight Gina at 145, but not Cyborg. Time to admit it, Rousey is a freak talent, but she know Cyborg would just walk all over her.

Ok Ronda is a professional who is maximizing her career. To bounce up and down weights to fight a person and pull yourself out of competition just to do that because people say you are afraid if you don't isn't rational. You wouldn't do it and neither would I and it has nothing to do with being scared.

She can drop the muscle mass. Stop the ped and get on a normal routine for a while and it will go away.

If she can hit 135 she will have a payday. What more incentive does she need?
