      That's a concept that would get lost on somebody like Joe Rogan. You gotta beat the best to be the best. Period. Greatness I'm combat sports comes through legitimate accomplishment. Not by looking like King Kong against off duty cab drivers and sanitation workers.

        Nothing bias going on there, simple misunderstanding over the word "sensational" and thinking he meant Pac was better, when the guy mentions Floyd Tyson goes on to say "No one said who is better".

          Yeah, slippery at dodging punches from somebody stood in front of him.

          Kicks (longer range than punches) and grapples and hip throws etc, I'd love to see how he could handle that. Maybe expecting a 135 girl like Ronda to be able to pull it off is a stretch but in general he'd be in a pickle (and don't forget she boils down to 135 so is really more or less the same size as Floyd).

          Let's see how well he moves after a few kicks on his thighs. Dead legs really have a habit of slowing people down.

              Nope. Floyd's ability to do that is actually somewhat overrated. It's collapsing on him and trying to run him down that's so hard. Distance control is virtually his entire game. Folks should do their research before commenting on themes like this..

                Boxers put around 65% of the weight on front foot,MMA fighters have more weight on the rear foot so that they can kick with the front leg and can't have the front foot kicked away. That nailed down front leg is what MMA fighters target in boxers both with takedowns and kicks. Boxers are not used to or trained to deal with takedowns. I am pretty sure she would manage to grab his legs and then it is takedown time and over.Floyd is elusive with his upper body movement but can be static with the legs.

                  If she somehow was able to grab onto one of his arms, then sure. But she'd have to grab the arm first and avoid getting punched in the face.

                  Floyd has had a little practice with this sort of thing, ya know.

                    The fuck?!?

                    Have you ever even boxed??

                    Putting weight on your front foot is one of the biggest no-no's in boxing, lmao.

                      What a low blow move to try to big up MMA/Rousey. Shouldn't even be taken seriously.
