[Royalty]

Not a bad series of paydays

Why tarnish his reputation by getting beaten in under a minute by literally any UFC fighter in any weight class?  Is he broke?

Remember this?  I would post the link to the event, but I had no idea it was just remade into another movie.  I will have to check Google Play to see if it is on there:

LOL. He's not stepping into the Octagon regardless of how much he could be paid.

If hes like 99% of boxers then yes,,,they always seem to lose everything...

[oldtimer1]

He would never agree to an MMA fight. He might be tempted into another boxing match.

shut up and take my money !

Unfortunately, yes.  Wrestling and boxing would be fine, but boxing alone...unless he is Mike Tyson...would not be enough to match a UFC fighter.  IMO [as I mentioned above], my guess is the fight would last under a minute with virtually any UFC fighter of any weight class.

Interestingly, in an interview with Mike Tyson, he said the Mayweather would be a tough fight and might have forced him to fight dirty...do you have any idea why that is?  Wasn't there like a 68-lb weight disparity between the two?  Lol.  In the UFC, that would be nearly impossible [if not impossible] to overcome.  Is that not the case in boxing?    Sorry if the question is ignorant; I am a MMA/UFC fan - not so much of a boxing fan.

Tyson is being kind toward his fellow champ paying him respect. Tyson knows what would happen with a welterweight going against him.

Hate to say it, but size does matter

The great Bob Foster got his ass handed to him by both Ali and Frazier

[QuietYou]

All boxers that have moved over to the UFC have dominated everyone. Holly Holm for example as of recent. All UFC fighters that move over to boxing, end up sucking. Mayweather would do fine, but he's too old and would not dominate the sport nearly as much as he did boxing.

Foster was  the only guy ever to cut Ali.

[chess315]

This whole thing is going to taint the sports

Both ali and fraz were under 220

That makes a lot more sense.  Good for Mike for being respectful like that.  Had me confused until I read your post though.    It strike me as an odd comment given the weight disparity, but Mike sounded very serious when he said it.

Tyson vs McGregor

THE ONLY WAY HE DOES UFC IS IF THEY ALTER THE RULES, SO THERE ARE NO TAKE DOWNS.  BASICALLY IT'S A BULLSHIT BOXING MATCH. HIS HANDS ARE FUCKED SO HE CAN'T UNEVEN USE 6 OZ GLOVES. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF ORTHOPEDIC MMA GLOVES.  NOTHING MORE THAN TROLLING TO STAY RELEVANT. HE COULD ALWAYS FIGHT SPENCE, THURMAN OR CRAWFORD AND GET THE SHIT BEAT OUT OF HIM.

You really think any of them would "Beat the shit" out of him? Even now? lol you're crazy. It's like you haven't been around for the whole Floyd Mayweather era. He's come out of retirement, out of the woodwork, out of "relevancy" time and time again and proved his doubters wrong. Not only is he boxing, but he IS fighting. Fighting = Floyd Mayweather.

MMA can't replicate a real street fight but it's the closest thing we have.  A true fight where anything is legal favors the mixed martial artist.  Boxers have a very specific skill set and, although useful, its very easy to defeat for the MMA fighter in a true fight without rules.  Takedowns, punches, kicks, elbows, slams, groin shots, eye pokes and jiu jitsu are all what make a fighter dangerous.  I shouldn't be entertaining this troll thread but I have already typed all this, so meh....

[polychronopolous]

I wish Couture hadn’t taken it so easy on Toney.

[rangerwil]

If they in fact are offering him close to a billion dollars for a series of 4 pure MMA fights, he would take it.
Anybody would.
His reputation isn't worth a billion and he knows it.
His legacy my ass...a billion dollars is a billion dollars.

Street fights take place on concrete and in clothing by by individuals who are mostly untrained and not conditioned.

A true fight would involve weapons/items available to use for victory.
