Floyd's next opponent needs to go for broke

I have always said The guy who doesnt give a damn has the best chance And i still believe that person is Provodnikov

I love Provodnikov but no, just no. Let him try to establish himself as the #1 guy in the division before talking about this matchup.

Herrera out boxed Provodnikov and you think that? Didn't you see how silly Bradley made him look when he opted to boxed? :nonono: so fighters don't get better? Ruslan nearly knocked Bradley out a few times until he gassed, his conditioning was a lot better, and both Alvarado and Bradley are better fighters than Herrera. People grow as fighters Ruslan will at least go out swinging dude is just ferocious.

If Ortiz had a stronger chin and mind I think he gives May a very tough fight...but he is not

Bump Now im not bumping because im saying Prov can beat mayweather, but with the limited options Floyd have (better than devon or amir) This is the better fight to make.

We say this every time but it never happens. Not many fighters are willing to get knocked out anymore.

IMO if you aren't just as fast as Mayweahter then you need to pressure him. Khan and Judah are the only 2 guys that I believe should ever consider "boxing" Mayweather.

For real, no one is ever going to out box him or out think him. The only chance anyone has against him is to charge in and just go for it Hatton style. Hatton was a clumsy mess, he cant pull it off. Im gonna get alot of shiet for this but I think Provodnikov got the best chance outta anyone to beat him. Very low but still the best chance. Every fighter should go against every opponent with a "go for broke" mentality, to be honest, but it's clear you didn't watch the Hatton fight. Also, as the poster says below your OP, it's easier said than done. As I have said mroe than once around here, you can have the blueprint all day, executing it is another story.

That gameplan will get your asswhooped and embarrassed.

I think the best chance to beat Mayweather is to remain calm and not get frustrated. I thought Canelo had the patience to at least make it competitive but he didn't. Mayweather didn't make it easy either. He kept his hands in face popping him every chance he got. Some of those shots were just annoying but it worked. Canelo got frustrated and was never to mount an intelligent game plan. Mayweather was in his head the whole night and probably before the fight with the catch weight argument they made. Team Canelo was frustrated even before the first bell.

rushing in head first is never a good plan

You'd see more people going for broke if they could just eat his punches undeterred, but they take a toll.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's give Floyd another flat footed, limited power puncher who has a "punchers chance". Rios Provodnikov Maidana Ortiz rematch Those should be his last 4 fights. Taking punches to the face put food on the plate.

It's easy to talk about what a fighter should do when you're not the one getting punched in the face. There were a few times where Canelo would swing for the fences, or would launch a flurry, but Mayweather would dodge and counter him. You could argue that if he kept it up he might be able to catch Mayweather with something vicious but as I said your mind isn't going to think that way when you're paying for your misses. Also lol at the thread starter mentioning Provin***ov, Mayweather would have his way with him.

Did you see how Bradley was able to outbox Provodnikov in spots during their fight. Well x10. Ruslan would probably look like gatti. He is far too slow and frankly isn't good enough. I would never want to see that fight.

Fighters maybe thinking too much now of how to beat him rather than do what they do best. Floyd just does what he does and hopes its good enough. Just make sure your fit enough to punch him for 12 rounds.

Whoever it is they just gotta give him the D

Whoever goes for broke is just going to look like a clumsy mess. Hatton did really well.

Provodnikov?! Good fighter in his own right but he would get his ears boxed off. The perfect "go for broke" fighter to give Mayweather hell is Pacquaio. I still want to see this fight. Pacquiao is too gun shy now. He got no chance. Maybe the Pacquiao that had his first fight with Marquez.

Martinez whups Floyd but with the high pressure strategy the best chances woulda been Paul Williams and Tim Bradley.
