Does Mayweather have any take down defense whatsoever?

If they fought under UFC rules, I'm pretty certain Ronda would just take Mayweather down and win by decision (I don't think she'd make him submit but I think he wouldn't be able to do much down on the mat with her)

If it was under Boxing rules, I'm pretty certain Mayweather would knock her out

This is why I don't get the whole "MMA Vs Boxing" thing

They're completely different sports with different rules and regulations

It's like saying "Wayne Rooney wouldn't be able to do a thing if he had to be wicket keeper for Lancashire this season"

Well yeah, of course he wouldn't. It's completely different to what he's doing now. I think if you took Mark Rampracash and told him to play at centre forward for Man United, you'd get a similar outcome

Except they're both hand-to-hand combat sports. They ARE different but pretending they're as different as football and cricket is a bit silly.

Nope, even IF she did get him down (and she couldnt get holm down) then Mayweather would be so much stronger that the types of move that worked on women would be pretty much ineffective against a man of Floyd's strength.

It's all moot, if Holm can keep Rousey at range then Floyd would be able to do it with one hand tied behind his back.

I take it you have never grappled. Strength would play no part as the skill levels are miles apart.

Oh and holm will have very good wrestling. As far as I know mayweather has none.

You've lost the plot mate. If that was the case there wouldn't regularly be overall (no weight limit) winners of BJJ tournaments that are much lighter than their opponents.

Smaller people can be stronger than bigger people. Mayweather is stronger than Rousey. Can you provide a link to these BJJ tournaments? Besides those bigger BJJ people wouldn't have Floyd's boxing skills so it's a tad irrelevant.

Holm has MMA background but Rousey couldn't even get close to her to test her, Floyd would be able to batter her with his eyes closed.

p.s I know you dont really think she'd win.

Jacare Souza beat Fabricio Werdum in a BJJ tournament, for one.

Werdum being a heavyweight and Jacare a middleweight.
