Could female UFC champion Ronda Rousey beat Floyd Mayweather?
A theoretical Rousey vs. Mayweather fight.
Boxer Floyd Mayweather and MMA fighter Ronda Rousey continued their verbal sparring last week.
It began on Wednesday when Rousey said that she actually earns more per second than Mayweather does. The following day Mayweather disputed this and argued, "She will never be at my status."
The pair have been going at it
for some time now. At the ESPY awards last month, Rousey won both best
fighter and best female athlete. She also took some shots at Mayweather.
In an interview before the show,
Rousey had some choice words for Mayweather, who has been pleaded
guilty to multiple charges of domestic violence against women over the
years. Rousey wondered "how Floyd feels being beat by a woman for once."
She followed that up with "I'd
like to see him pretend to not know who I am now," a reference to
Mayweather having said "I don't know who he is" regarding Rousey last year.
Their feud got us thinking: If the two fighters were to get in the ring, who would win?
On the one hand, Mayweather is a
man who is both slightly taller and heavier. He has an indisputable
advantage from the waist up. On the other, Rousey won an Olympic gold
medal in judo and is undefeated in mixed martial arts fights. If she was
able to get Mayweather on the ground, where he doesn't have any
experience, it could get interesting.
Experts we surveyed were divided about who would win.
Brian
Michelino, a coach at Long Island Mixed Martial Arts in New York, a gym
that trains several UFC fighters, predicted Rousey's more diverse skill
set would help her defeat Mayweather in an MMA fight. While boxing
strictly involves punching, MMA incorporates kicking and grappling
techniques designed for fighting on the ground.
"In an MMA fight I’m pretty
confident that she would mess him up, especially since Floyd Mayweather
does not have grappling experience," Michelino said.
His comments echoed those of UFC president Dana White, who has said that in a fight with Mayweather, "Ronda would rag doll him."
Because MMA is about technique as well as pure strength, Michelino says there are women at his gym who beat men all the time.
"Rousey is pretty proficient in
boxing," he said, adding, "When you start adding in punches, kicks, and
takedowns, a lot of techniques in boxing lose their power."
Michelino predicted this would give Rousey the upper hand.
"What’s going to happen is she is going to grab him — she’s going to grab him quick," Michelino explained.Michelino also said Rousey's grappling skills are such that Mayweather would not be able to compete even if he had "a year" to train in martial arts.
"He's not going to make it up," Michelino said
All that being said, if it was a pure boxing match, Michelino conceded Mayweather would win handily.
However, some people with pure boxing backgrounds think Michelino and White are wrong.
Sonya Lamonakis, one of the top heavyweight female boxers in the world, told Business Insider, "Floyd Mayweather would knock her out in three seconds. That’s a joke."
Bruce Silverglade, who owns Brooklyn's Gleason's Gym, one of the first in the country to train women, said that "the women are terrific athletes and often better technicians, but there’s a physical difference."
"The men are too strong for the women," Silverglade said.
Francisco Liuzzi, who owns the
Velvet Gloves boxing gym in Manhattan, laughed when Business Insider
presented the theoretical scenario. Both Rousey and Mayweather are near
the same height. Mayweather is 5 feet 8 inches and Rousey is 5 feet 7
inches. Liuzzi looked at the two of them by weight and speculated that,
though Mayweather only has about 10 pounds on Rousey, because men and
women have different body-fat makeups, the boxer probably has about 30
pounds more of muscle than Rousey does.
Liuzzi predicted that Mayweather could get in trouble if Rousey put
him on the ground, but even then, he said the boxer would probably get a
hit in and knock her out pretty quickly because Rousey has "never been
hit by a man.""There's nothing that’s she’s ever compared to taking a blow like that — I just don’t see how she could withstand it," explained Liuzzi.
As for a boxing match between the two of them, Liuzzi said it would be an easy win for Mayweather.
"It would be no different from him fighting a random woman on the street," Liuzzi said.
In spite of this, Liuzzi also
wanted it on the record that, even if he thought Mayweather would win,
he would be rooting for Rousey.
Though the boxing experts who
spoke to Business Insider all said they would expect Mayweather to
emerge victorious in a matchup against Rousey, one of the world's best
boxers has made the opposite call. Manny Pacquiao, who fought Mayweather
on May 2, has said he believes Rousey would win if the hypothetical bout between her and Mayweather were an MMA fight rather than a boxing match.
"She's strong, and she's strong enough to beat Floyd Mayweather in MMA," Pacquiao said.
Prior to emerging as a UFC
champion, Rousey was on the US Olympic judo team. Patrick Burris, the
director of coach certification and education for USA Judo, was a two-time Olympian
and one of Rousey's childhood coaches. In a conversation with Business
Insider, he said the outcome of a fight between Rousey and Mayweather
would "depend on what the rules are."
"I mean, does Mayweather wear
gloves? Does she wear a judo gi? Does Ronda have to wear gloves? Do they
do UFC rules?" said Burris. "There's a whole realm of questions that
would truly have to be answered."
If it was a mixed-martial-arts
fight rather than a boxing match, Burris said Rousey would have a very
good shot to win. Burris pointed to a match between boxer James Toney and former UFC champion Randy Couture
that took place in 2010 as evidence boxers can be easily overwhelmed by
the more diverse repertoire of mixed martial artists. Though Burris
said Toney was "not the same caliber" as Mayweather, he pointed out
Couture won that fight after "barely one round."
"I would say, if given certain
rules, Ronda would probably beat him. Other rules, Mayweather probably
would beat her," Burris said. "That would be kind of an interesting
concept."
