BJ Penn vs Floyd Mayweather; Who Wins

[Motofan]

Boxing rules, Floyd toys with him. MMA rules, BJ toys with him. Combined? Im inclined to go with the MMA guy. Floyd isnt used to being tackled and kicked.

If you take away the ground game, Mayweather wins every time.

His standup skills are, needless to say, by far the best in the world, MMA or not.

He would immediately be UFC's best striker, so Mayweather would dominate with those rules IMO.

I agree Floyd be ufcs number one striker!!!

Nah, Floyd gives too much of an angle in his stance to presents a smaller target to his opponents. A solid round house kick would put him flat on his ass.

hes 155 pounds, mayweather 147

how about mayorga-penn 154 catch weight

146-155 is considered "lightweight territory" in MMA.

Grappling is much easier to learn....Look at Mirko Crocop for example, he was a champion kickboxer in K1, he made a successful transition to MMA with only a couple years grappling experience.

Crocop's grappling is crap. He's got a sprawl and a guard. That's it.

I think grappling is a bit harder not only because of conditioning, but because there is so many more possibilities of cause and effect that you have to anticipate. If you get a guy on the ground, you have just as many options to dominate as your opponent has in reversing and escaping. So your constantly thinking sixteen ways of the game before your first move.
