An olympic medalist judoka (Ronda) vs a boxer who loves to clinch/hug (Floyd)

One jab from Floyd and it's lights out. It's that simple...........
 
He's bigger, stronger, faster, knocks out professional men, and can literally dance around her for 12 rounds. He has enough tech and power to hurt her off his back foot, sting her from angles as she's off balance and huffing from chasing him, and while he's peppering her, she's not seeing to clinch accurately. It would look foolish. If they fought in an elevator, Floyd dies. Anywhere else, Floyd makes her look stupid and sets both the sports back 50 years. I love Ronda and hate Floyd, but stop being so goddfuckingdamn delusional. An athletic world champion man known for elusiveness and precision is not an average dude.

Seriously dude? Dance around her? Against a grappler? Watch Ali vs Inoki, one Muhammed Ali one of the best outside fighters of all time. A world champion. A legend. The other Antonio Inoki a Catch-as-catch-can wrestler underground NHB fighter, not olympic caliber. Even with all the restrictions Ali's camp made for Inoki, (no kicking standing, no grappling) Inoki managed to take Ali down with ease.

Stick and move doesn't work against a grappler. Hell didn't you even watch the archaic Gracie challenge fights?
 
This needs banning. Floyd can outrun and jab Ronda for 12 rounds and she'd never touch him. He clinches as a strategic move. You know neither boxing nor grappling. Go away forever.

*EDIT* Actually, stick around and make moar thredsz.

Look, they could both easily stalemate each other. The whole Ali vs Antonio Inoki is a good example of that happening. He can dance and she could sit in guard. Or she could play with him and not really engage and then she'd win by walking up to him and having control and aggression and by staying out of the reach of his punches, or he dives in for a punch.

If he was smart he'd move away. Is he that smart? You think his ego would let him move away from a smaller woman?

Against Jake Shields he'd stay away for sure. But against a woman? The boxing world would kill itself the second he stepped away from her.

You are pretending again. Athleticism factors TREMENDOUSLY into a situation like this. A dude would have a better chance against Floyd, but do you even footwork? You can't compare Gracie Challenge days to a 2015 matchup of a woman champion in a young sport vs a bigger male champion in an ancient sport, who is regarded as the best of his time. It should be blatantly obvious to anyone who has watched both sports for a decade plus. Manny fuckin Pacquiao couldn't catch Floyd in a ring, and you think Ronda can in a huge cage with no corners? Anything can happen in a fight, and like I said, in an elevator, Floyd dies ugly. In a cage, Ronda has a 1/100 chance IMO.

Do you know even who Floyd Mayweather is? OF FUCKING COURSE he would be flying on his back foot for the first few rounds, tiring her out. He takes the absolute least risk possible at all times, and he's ALWAYS successful in his gameplanning. It's getting ridiculous now. He absolutely knows that if he gets grabbed off-balance, that he's dead.
 
Floyd can hire 1,000 male judoka and BJJ BB's better than Ronda. Who's Ronda gonna train for Floyd with?
 
"Ronda won't stand still in front of Floyd"
lol you honestly think it matters? So he can tag world-class boxers at will, but can't hit Ronda "No head movement or footwork or speed" Rousey? Mmk

This OP caused me physical pain
 
I really feel like a lot of people commenting in here have never even watched a full Floyd fight.
 
Not even in the same sport. Not even in the same weight class. Not even the same gender. Why would Floyd clinch? Does not even make sense.

Yes of course all fights start standing but 90% of the time when a grappler gets a hold of a pure striker, it's all done for the striker, even more for a boxer that only has a puncher's chance (a very slightly puncher's chance btw) and cannot kick or knee when the takedown is attempted for a double or single leg, and even MORE for a boxer of the type of Floyd who likes to clinch when things get ugly, and even MORE when you face a grappler that is a judoka or greco-roman wrestler that speciallize on hip throws that you only need to grab the arms for execute their techniques.

Stylistically this fight is perfect for Ronda and a nightmare for Floyd. Ronda won't stand still in front of Floyd like Tim Sylvia did against Mercer because judokas always look for a grip ASAP. Floyd is serving himself to her for his love of hugging, the perfect position for a judoka to work, arms grabbed, hip throw, position, submission.

do you have any boxing background? you do know why boxers clinch/hug their opponents, right? If your answer is "to avoid getting hit in the face by another talented/skilled boxer", then you are correct.

But for some reason i don't think Floyd has to worry about getting hit in the face by Ronda.
