    Hughes of course but Floyd with have a punchers chance as they like to call it. A boxer would lose to a kick boxer or a jiu jitsuist of the same level, they just do not have the training in all the different aspects of no holds barred fighting. This is the thing Mayweather does not understand. You can say whatever, but you will not understand until you are on your back and you opponent has full mount on you and you can't move.

    Floyd would have a excellent "punchers" chance. There has never been a high calibur boxer who has made the transition from boxing to mma so people who flat out say "oh he stands no chance" are wrong to have that opinion.

    I remember a time when there was this big influx of K-1 and K-2 fighters switching over to MMA back in the late 90s - early 00's and there was alot of people saying "oh they arnt well rounded, they stand no chance against a guy like Ken Shamrock"

    Look at Crocop, the guy is a fantastic Kickboxer, but ask any knowlegable MMA fan and they know he hasnt got the Ground skills of some other fighters out there. Yet, Crocop is looked at as the number 2 fighter in the world.

    So to say Mayweather has no chance is rediculous, the guy is a legendary boxer, If he could keep the fight standing then he has the possibility of destroying ANY person in his weight class.

    sorry i know it was long :p

    In MMA it wouldn't take someone of Hughe's level (or weight) to beat mayweather. I think that Urijah Faber would take out Mayweather inside of a minute and he fights at 145. Mayweather would beat anyone his size in boxing, but Mayweather is a boxer not a fighter.

    Hughes round 1 by a kick to the head. He'd kick his legs till he brought his hands down to make a boxers attempt at a leg kick defense and get beefcaked in the head by a high kick.

    Hughes by murder.

    Mayweather is a junior welterweight. Even if he had KO power, (which he doesn't), Hughes would just dive in, double leg takedown, mount, then have his way with him.
