I am pretty sure someone that talented could immediately transition to a decent MMA fighter to go along with his superior skills he already has.

I am not a Mayweather fan, but this argument is just ridiculous. RR would be a huge dog.
Firstly, a guy like Mayweather with a long history of domestic abuse issues is not going to fight a woman in a ring/octogon because there is literally no upside for him to do so (He losses and feels embarrassment or he wins and brutalizes a woman in doing so).

Secondly, IF such a fight was sanctioned, Mayweather would simply train take-downs for 6 months with the knowledge that if he could keep the fight standing for 20 seconds he would destroy RR and certainly knock her out.

Men simply are stronger and more powerful than women (who were born women unlike Jenner) and to think otherwise is just stupid fantasy talk. If RR WONT fight Cyborg at 140 because she feels that Cyborg's muscle structure aided by PEDs gives her an advantage at that weight doesn't it reason that Mayweather's superior male muscle structure and incredible skill proven by beating near equally skilled MEN would give him an insurmountable advantage?

p.s.-- I still want Polk to give Sands brain damage as karma for all his slow playing at the tables that has spread and hurt the live game while driving people from it or from every considering it.

p.s-- RR could beat any average Joe off the street who was not in great shape and under 250 pounds. She could not beat even the 100th best male boxer equal in size to her and that had 6 months to train take-downs so that any advantage she has in skill is largely negated enough for him to brutally knock her unconscious.

However its more than reasonable to think she beats floyd, a defensive boxer who walks around at approx the same weight, has never wrestled or grappled, and isnt known for his one punch ko power. If its in a cage or a ring, even if she is deathly afraid of his standup (which she has no reason to be) she could literally sit on her ass, buttscoot towards him and still tap him. Even if he connects on the feet, if its not a clean ko, she can sit on her ass at anytime to recover at almost zero risk. What is he going to do, drop elbows from guard?
Once, while standing around the St. Louis airport waiting for a flight to Midway a long time ago, I had a direct conversation over "boxer versus wrestler" with Muhammed Ali. (There were only three people waiting for the flight to Chicago's South Side airport, Ali, his girlfriend, and me.)

I asked Ali what was likely to happen given, at the time, his planned fight against a Japanese wrestler. He threw a few punches toward my face and said "He's never seen anything like this. He's going to do whatever he can to avoid getting hit".

Your post is on the money; the wrestler kicked then stayed on his ass all around the ring kicking Ali in the legs for the whole fight.

Agreed with the sentiment - but 6 months is questionable, may need a bit more. You can do absurdly cheap stuff to take it to the ground. You're not mentioning any jui jitsu stuff, cheap ways of getting into guard would be what she'd want to do if someone trained take downs a la Gracie.

I've watched UFC, but not that matchup ...


FWIW, Rousey has been matched with a former boxer-turned MMA fighter (sort of) for Jan 2d UFC 195 ....

id really like to see some of these people judging books by their covers (the polk vs sands fight)

i mean, i have never saw or met either one but in photos they dont look like pussies or anything. polk has a semi athletic body, looks semi tone. maybe its the fact that he spikes his heair and actually seems happy? also, cant say anything to negative about sands; a bit bulkier maybe a little bit of fat but nothing to the extent where id be like "wow, what pussies" and thats coming from me, a pretty confident guy, for instance i think id be a favorite over RR or a desert wolf

and i haaad to google pics of both of them after i typed this. Doc sands isnt fat at all, in fact he appears likes hes in pretty good shape, id consider him a favorite, plus the fact Polk asked for six months HA

bring on the ****ing wolf!

Yeah but FM has the same experience as the poker playing slob when it comes to MMA. Just because youre top .00001% at one sport doesnt mean you will be at other sports, Lebron cant be a starting pitcher, Dez bryant cant play on the PGA tour, Peyton cant be a point guard.

Its not like FM is known for his knock out power, hes a technician. Theyre pretty much the same size, she practices with men bigger than her, RR would hip toss him real quick, tap him out shortly after. If its MMA rules, RR wins 8/10 times.

yup, not to mention its not like training for takedowns is that wasy... top athletes at MMA have been training takedown defense forever and they would still get taken down by wrestlers like GSP or jon jones..

also boxing is the worst sport to transiton from, to mma

LOL

You are comparing a world class BJJ artist to a D level boxer. There has never been an elite world class boxer, in his prime, fight in the UFC. And likely never will until purses triple.

Elite world class boxers, with power, would do quite well in the UFC. Foreman, Tyson, Liston, Hagler, Hearns, etc. would have done well in MMA. Perhaps, they would not have been champions due to their lack of grappling, but they would have won a vast majority of fights. Foreman knocked out Moorer at age 46 with a punch that only traveled 12 inches. In his 20s with 4 oz gloves he literally could have killed some of these MMA artists especially the idiots who don't tuck their chin.

The St. Louis, Mo.,-based fighter had won 15 fights in a row prior to UFC 1 and McLaren was adamant in pointing out that Jimmerson was, "the highest-ranked, current, contemporary boxer to enter UFC. I think he was the eighth-ranked in the IBF at Cruiserweight. He was a real, real boxer."

most low level cirucuit fighters that that grind out 3k a show train only 2-3 months to get in shape, but if you've never fought or trained before 6 months is reasonable,but for a pro bout no sludge poker player v sludge poker player it may take them 3 years.... also it general consensu that doc sands is a bit of a d bag he was probably calling out polk expecting him to back down and polk was like F you

why are we derailing the thread with RR v FM bs, we wanna see Douchebaggery Fighting Championship broadcast live on twitch.

the inaugural Championship battle for top douchebag of the poker community

$500k ea wta format, i predict 2x 1 min round should be enough before somebody backs/taps out or w/e

Whatever happens tho these guys are showing the way forward of how school nerds get out of fighting someone but saving face "6 months bro i fight u in 6 months, conditioning needed"
