Dana White saying Mayweather would....

[-MAKAVELLI-]

The only boxer who might have had success in the UFC was probably V.Klitschko, and thats because of his prior experience with kickboxing.

I think Cintron would be good as well..he has a good pedigree in amatuer wrestling. .and he would have insane KO power witg those little ass gloves


but on the topic, even the most mediocre MMA fighter would beat the **** out of Floyd..


Dana White should put up $60mil guarantee to Floyd..I'd love to see that fool get grounded and pounded then put in an arm bar in 2mins

Floyds style would actually transfer awesomely over to muay thai and he woud be strong and fast enough to learn a mean takedown defense.

But all this is besides the fact.

Dana White says he loves boxing but he talks trash about PBF? PBF has done things in the ring that we have never seen in the history of boxing. I cant think of any fighter that we have ever seen be able to stand in the pocket and not get hit.

Statements like this prove to me that Dana White doesnt even know the sport of boxing or is trying ruin the sport of boxing. Or at least promoting his sport at the cost of boxing (obviously).

Best defensive boxer of all time and Dana White brings him down then turns around and acts like he knows and loves the sport. This is illogical.

I dont think any smart fan looks at statements like this and think less of Floyd or higher of MMA but less of Dana White.

Proves what a moron you must be. I can't stand Floyd Mayweather.

Only moron here is you, GSP is by far the SUPERIOR ATHLETE. That doesn't doesn't take away anything from PBF's boxing acumen.

UFC is dying, who cares what that guy says they get no views at all anymore. Joke sport

LOL network deal that pays them 100 mil a year, half a billion a year in total revenue and a massive international expansion, yup its dying bra....

Not just Vitali, any elite Boxer with enough cross-training could be successful in MMA.

BS, Vitali was a Kickboxer/Sambo player BEFORE he became a boxer (aka he learned to strike and grapple already).

Its obvious that you have never trained in any form of grappling art or wrestling, much harder to learn let alone master then a punching bag.

Just finished watching GSP highlights. Even funnier now.

Hey Dana, stop comparing horse **** to a New York steak. There is no equivalence between the two sports. One sport appeals to a mostly white audience hungry to see other whites actually win bouts. While another has a history that is etched into the American fabric. When Joe Louis was on deck against Max Schmeling he represented the USA at a critical point in our Nation's history.

What does the UFC stand for, or more precisely why does a punk like White get to talk like he has any real meaning?

I couldn't agree more. Great points!

Have you ever watched MMA? There's plenty of Brazilian, Black, White, Asians etc...what's race have to do with anything? Fuc**** ******ity. ..

There is nobody in the general stratosphere of a Floyd Mayweather in terms of overall quality as an athlete or "practitioner of the arts" in the UFC. Not even close regardless of what Boxing vs. MMA arguments are all lamely comprised of. For that reason alone it's not a discussion. These MMA people do enjoy flattering themselves..

Look that's ignorance on your part, I'm a 100% boxing fan! I watch some mma here and there but it will never capture my attention like boxing! That bent said, there's plenty of guys that are as good as if not better athletes than Mayweather, guys like St. Pierre for example, then there's guys in the general MMA world that are far more dedicated to their respective sport as well such as Rickson Gracie!

And to be fair to Dana White he was asked the question in an interview and he answered fairly and truthfully, Mayweather wouldn't compete in the octagon! He also stated that MMA guys couldn't compete with boxers in a ring!

[Calabis]

Only chance he would have is his hand speed and accuracy with those little gloves. Floyd could beat some of those guys with some training against leg kicks and take downs. But once he has to take on MMA elite fighters he has no chance.
