You don't get this type of question in any other sport, but somehow people think that the sport in which strength, speed, and quickness are more important than in any other sport is the one a woman would have a chance in?
Floyd is much faster. He is much stronger. He is much quicker. He has much better footwork. He has much more experience. The best male fighters in the world can't lay a glove on him, but people think Rousey is going to somehow get inside on him and take him to the ground? Good luck with that.

The thing about his speed is he's fast in a sport that doesn't allow grappling. The action occurs and the points are scored on strikes from distance, and sustained contact is broken up by the ref. Different story where someone only has to pin him down once if their grappling skills are sufficient.
