I wouldn't think so... Floyd's defense is (in Tyson voice) impregnable. Rousey basically bull rushes her opponents in order to get the clinch... she eats punches while doing so. Floyd would clock her before she could grab hold to anything (pre-Holm, most of Ronda's opponents were done as soon as she clinched).

The Slack article you linked mentioned the same things Floyd would use- angles and footwork. Ronda's relied on judo takedowns her entire career- the only way she'd be able to get Floyd on the ground is develop world class footwork and wrestling takedowns (namely singles and doubles... even then, she lacks the quickness to avoid a Floyd cross and the explosiveness to shoot in on a miss). At this stage of the game, there's no way she'd be able to catch up.
