Does Floyd Mayweather Have A Successor From The US In The Wings?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

I'd like to believe Andre Ward can take the torch when Mayweather is gone, but the guy apparently doesn't fight anymore.

he's like an American Sal Sanchez...it's a shame broadcasting cut his career short...he coulda been the one

boner to floyd checklist

wasted money = checked
cherry pick opponent = checked
create more haterz = checked
punch a woman = pending

Contribute or GTFO.

"Broner? Eww...gross!" is what you call contributing? I'm not sure I can "contribute" like that.

Anyway, Floyd doesn't have a successor, just like Sugar Ray Robinson didn't have a successor. Mike Tyson didn't have one, Ali, Roy Jones, Julian Jackson didn't, Thomas Hearns, etc. Boxing is a sport of individuals and the variations of iconoclasts and unique human beings is endless. We don't need anyone to be another Floyd Mayweather.

I doubt it. Ward just doesn't have that "it" factor. Floyd did a hell of a job marketing himself, plus his skills are unmatched....Ward has the personality of a pavement.

I like Ward but I don't see how he could have been the one. Besides us hardcore boxing fans not many people know him.

Broner seems to be him
Crawford and Thurman have decent skill but still developing
Mares and garcia are exciting though they are Mexican/American

Floyd didn't turn heel til later...both have styles that the casuals dont necessarily embrace, both have that '0'


we just need Andre to turn heel

Yeah, but I can't see him doing that. Would be good for his career though. I think it'd work.

he needs to insult gay people...he's religious anyway...it would be a great start

...just to balance it out since Floyd's illegitimate online children dont like it when Manny has a thread about him





so what say you boxingscene ******s?


is it Broner?

Did you make this thread to mock mine? I was being serious and wasn't trolling, I think it's a legitamate question and it's not the same thing for Floyd, he didn't "bring" boxing to his country per se, he is just another american boxer.

He wouldn't need to do something like that to turn heel. All he would have to do is duck Golovkin in a year, claim the fight doesn't make sense, and instead beat an Andre Dirrell coming off a 2 year layoff in the most boring way possible.

Boom, heel status achieved.
