Bitch get me on the ground she getting fucked
If you were fighting Floyd Mayweather, and knew what Rhonda RouseyYou're a man and I would be Ronda would beat ya ass!
If that woman was Eve and I was Adam, all of you would not be here.
Good answer, but wrong. Floyd is used to fighting standing up, so that is a different use of muscle strength. He couldn't keep up with her without jabbing and hooking to keep her off him. All she needs is one hand, one arm, one leg, or his torso and he is done. As often as Floyd clinches to slow his opponent down, a clinch would be the end of him. He can't defend against a knee or kick to any part of his body. He couldn't take that type of hit. Even his she swiped his ankle or just leg kicked him to the thigh, he'd be fucking done. I was with my MMA friend last night when the shit came on the set, and he laughed and said, "She's right!" Rhonda knows too many forms of fight, Floyd knows one :Stick and move. Mad respect for him, but he couldn't beat her. And he definitely couldn't go 2 rounds or more unless he stays on his feet running. No chance.
Ronda Rousey has a history of talking reckless, whether baited or not. As much of a silly question as this might have been, she actually volunteered an even sillier claim before when she said she could beat Cain Velasquez... Cain Velasquez!

Those of you agreeing with Rousey, that she'd beat Floyd Mayweather Jr, is that only applied to him or are you of the opinion that she would also beat all 45 of his defeated opponents in an MMA match? Would she also beat a 147½ lbs Diego Corrales @ 33–0, with 27 KOs? How about Miguel Cotto @ his natural weight or Canelo Alvarez @ 42–0 and entering the octagon @ 172lbs? Are you suggesting that--by her beating the man whose beaten all those men--she would beat all of those men, too, in an MMA rules fight?
Niggas talking about floyd is "shakey" rememember this is a bitch he would be fighting
you think with floyds world class defense and speed she would just be able to grab him ?
men have tried and he just evades... Black athletes are disrespected too much...especially the greats.. Money... Lebron
motherfuckers think they can "just take them"

It's not really worth it to start the boxing vs. mma argument again. In a fight where both fighters are allowed to use ALL of their tools, MMA seems to usually win out (talking fighters of similar sizes and skill levels at least). Of course if you say to one side that they can only use two of their tools and have to leave the rest by the wayside, that side is gonna lose usually.
This one comes down to gender as much as skills though. As good as Ronda is, you can't just sweep the man vs woman thing under the rug. It's not the same I know, but remember old out of shape Joey Buttafucco easily beating Chyna down in the celeb boxing match. No MMA involved, but she was a big, athletic chick (and fake or not, pro wrestlers are pretty damn strong).
I give her a shot, but I don't think I could go more than 40/50. I need to see a woman take some shots to the head from a dude and keep coming before I give her the advantage. As someone mentioned earlier though, a lot of this depends on Floyd and whether or not he would take it seriously. If he didn't, that would be real stupid, because he seriously needs to keep her from getting one of his joints moving the wrong way. If she could manage to get him in one of those positions....
I'm not saying that's how fighting works. I'm asking it you all also think she'd beat the men he beat or if there's something specific to him.
Corrales got down to 135 for weigh-ins against Mayweather, but he stepped in the ring at 147.5lbs on fight night. He was also 6ft tall with a 73'' reach and one-punch KO power. Rousey does have to cut weight to make 135, also. Her natural body weight is actually between 156-160lbs. Floyd would actually have the weight cut advantage against her, too, since he's closer to her weight division than she is (assuming they didn't meet at a catch weight).
That's because, as you said, he was way past his prime (old), slow, no experience, overweight (which makes his year long training story suspect) and fighting a Hall of Fame former champion who was coming off beating Mark Coleman the same way he beat Toney (only one round later). That fight was a farce. Surely, we can all see that 'fight' for the WWE sideshow it was? That being said, I gather the answer to the question is that her chances against the fighters Mayweather beat 'depends' on certain factors, but she'd likely beat the man who beat them?

It's not like he's so fast and slick he can't be grabbed. He would be in completely alien turf. She only needs to grab his legs and take him down and it's over and that's exactly what she or any MMA fighter would do.
Rousey's not just some weak woman or even just some strong woman, she is an Olympic medalist in judo.
Floyd's not beating her anymore than Tim Duncan could beat Michael Phelps in swimming and Duncan used to be a swimmer.
Chyna's not a skilled fighter in anything. She's hella strong but she and Buttafucoo weren't lifting weights or even grappling, they were boxing.
If this crazy fantasy did take place, Floyd would take it deadly serious. That's how he is. He plays to win at everything.
Not only did James Toney have no chance in MMA, he was shot as a boxer, too. This was his last 'fight' (spectacle) as a boxer.
Yes, there are "ways" take someone down without getting uppercut, but there are also ways to ward off a take down with strikes. Just as you thinks it's "not true" that Rousey would get caught with strikes while trying to land a TD, who is to say Mayweather's superior striking wouldn't fend off her TD attempts? Rousey has gotten caught and wobbled by female MMA strikes, despite her TD prowess.
She would have to cut to fight them at 135-145. Her cut at 154lbs wouldn't be as much, but then neither would Mayweather have to cut ti make 154lbs. Which would throw the weight cut 'advantage' out the window and leave her at the disadvantage of fighting a male opponent with more sold body mass at that weight. And one punch KO power is also relevant on the ground, not just standing. She can get her chin checked from the bottom.
How can Floyd Mayweather be past his prime when he's still just as undefeated now as he was in his prime and beating world class opponents? There's no formula for calculating an athlete's "prime." You have to judge them by their performance. And Mayweather is still currently voted the P4P best boxer in the world. And Rousey's coming off wins dominating wins against relatively subpar female opponents. You can possibly compare that to Mayweather coming off beating Canelo. Had she dominated Cat Zingano or Cris Cyborg, I would make that relative comparison, but Dana's spoon feeding her mash potatoes for competition.
