Why Ronda Rousey Vs. Floyd Mayweather Is a Bad Idea

A future fight between the two boxers wouldn’t strike a blow for equality—but likely underscore how appalling violence between men and women really is.

Hot off the heels of her epic 34-second knockout of Bethe Correia, Ronda Rousey already has her sights set on her next opponent in the ring: documented abuser of women and winner of the highest-grossing boxing match in history, Floyd Mayweather.

Doubling down on her post-victory swagger, “Rowdy” Rousey responded in Monday night’s Reddit AMA to a question from a user under the alias “Knuckledork.”

Do you think you would legitimately beat Floyd Mayweather in a ruleless fight?

You could almost hear the crackle of Rousey’s trash-talking through the silent computer screen.

“Do I think I would legit beat Mayweather in a ruleless fight? Floyd is one of the best boxers of all time. He would definitely beat me in a boxing match. I unfortunately don’t get into “matches”. I fight for a living. In a no rules fight, I believe I can beat anyone on this planet.”

this should never happen
