In boxing, I'm watching the smart dude win. In MMA, gritty blood baths, get down and dirty fucking fights. But, yeah. I'll watch.
It's also important to remember that boxing's only undefeated heavyweight champ was a shit boxer. Marciano had poor balance, almost non-existent footwork, and lousy defensive skills. He also had devastating punches and a granite jaw (an almost certainly apocryphal story has it that when Archie Moore's trainer told him to keep hitting Marciano, Moore replied, 'I am hitting him - it don't help!').
The smart money's on Mayweather, but anything can happen.
