Rousey would get sparked out badly by the entire top 100 of super featherweights in her own weight division. There's no need to matcher her with welters.

I'm all for equality and not one for sexism but there are segregated male and female sports for a reason. If a male boxer lands shot on Rousey, she would be out cold before she hit the floor.
That's no disrespect to her, it's just how it is. Look at Tennis, the Williams sisters (both amazing female players no doubt) once claimed they could beat any guy ranked below 200, so they played a guy called Karsten Braasch ranked 203 in the world, who then beat them both in a row and he said there's no way they could beat any guy in the top 500 and Braasch said afterwards He said that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun."
It might sound silly in compare these things to MMA/Boxing but it's not. Although they were all tennis players, the gulf between men and women's strength, speed, endurance etc..when it comes to sports is just too big. I played Football (soccer for the americans) for England under 16's when i was a teenager and we had a friendly game against the full England ladies national team who complete in the women's world cups and we comfortably beat them without even breaking a sweat and we were just 15-16 year old guys. The physical advantages are just too much.
I know Rousey is MMA and she has the ground techniques but it wouldn't even get to that. A welterweight boxer is just way too big and strong for her. Nevermind Thurman. If she was in there with Floyd Mayweather, she would be out cold within about 10 seconds.Comment

Guys, C'mon. I know this stemmed from the Mayweather/Rousey beef.
Look, Mayweather beats Rousey in a boxing ring and Rousey beats the crap out of Floyd on the street and in an octagon, OK! Are we happy now?Last edited by BOXEO _; 07-17-2015, 08:40 PM.Comment

RIGHT NOW, Ronda wins without a doubt. But she doesn't floor Keith like she would floyd. Keith will probably make it to the 12th but in bad shape. I can't wait to see female vs male fights for real with the whole equality movement. Id love to see Ronda catch some bodies in boxing.Comment

Well I don't agree that every male boxer beats every female boxer BUT yeah all of the competitive male pros will have a distinctive biological advantage and likely completely own any female boxer. The lower you go though the more competitive the top women could hypothetically be.
Other thing is that MMA and Boxing are two different beasts. Some of the ways you avoid getting hit in boxing won't save you in MMA, plus you have new concerns to deal with (wrestling, submissions, knees to the face...). But in the other direction you lose access to many of your skills going from the octagon to the ring. So I think majority of MMA fighters beat boxers in MMA and vice versa.
Nonetheless, this topic is getting really tired really quickly. I assume the OP was just trying to take a stab at all the anti-Mayweather stans who have been hyping a ridiculous match between May and Rousey, but even still I think it's a pointless thread.
Please people, stop doing this.Last edited by BrometheusBob.; 07-17-2015, 09:06 PM.Comment
