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

[Biolink]

Skill-wise. No. I don't believe there is one at the moment. But Broner is the heir apparent in terms of the way he markets himself. Broner will be (if he isn't already) the most hated fighter in the sport once Floyd retires. He also will be one of the highest earning and most polarizing figures.

Don't see Broner having the kind of dominant run that Mayweather has. Doesn't have the ring IQ.

but before he ducks GGG, claim he's on steroids


and yea, that Dirrell fight would be something else...Byrd-Williamson-esque


on a $70 ppv

Damn, you actually brought up the Touch of Sleep

In terms of being an arrogant *******..probably Broner.

Skill wise has to be Andre Ward.

definately not broner he wont be undefeated in 5 fights time

I wasn't suggesting that in my post at all. I said skill-wise he's not there. He's actually not even close but the things he does outside the ring are Floyd-like. In his last fight he made more than a million and he's only 23. He's getting attention and marketing himself in similar ways that Floyd did. That's where the comparison stops though. It seems like boxing will always need someone to hate and he will be the next guy. The question is will he stay relevant when he loses.

GGG wouldn't turn down the fight then lie about not giving blood only to get caught on tape, when trying to negotiate a cutoff.

GGG Would never use a blood test as a roadblock to avoid a 100 million dollar fight at all costs. Especially against a guy who he claims is so easy to beat.

the guy who made that thread meant who has the potential of being the next big thing from the philippines (not an exact replica of pacquiao but someone that has enough ability to be at the fore front of Filipino boxing)


and to answer..........theres really no one.

with mayweather there are a few. broner, ward, russell, crawford,

if i had to pick i would pick ward.............

[I Love Jesus!]

u dont have to have the same skillz as floyd u just have to follow whats his doin with his career in the ring and outside the ring

looks like boner is catching up so fast if u ask me
his already becoming a ppv attaction

u just have to cherrypick like floyd
burn money like floyd
act arrogant like floyd
VIOLA! we have a new floyd maywather clone

Dont forget to vacation 3 years between fights then come back for yet another tuneup. Preferably against a guy three divisions below you or well past his best.

[I Love Jesus!]

I'd like for that guy to be Andre Ward...it's too bad people are more concerned with what a fighter says and does outside of the ring then they are about what goes on.

Broner doesn't seem to have the hunger. I enjoy watching his fights, but he's missing something big and I just cant put my finger on it.

He doesn't that have elite skills. A lot of guys can beat him, Hes just not the best

[StarPower]

Crawford can matchup skill wise but hes not quite there defensively. But I dont know how much punishment he can take over a long career. Didnt he catch a bullet to the brain a couple years back?

In my opinion Mayweather is a great fighter in the ring but a mean, nasty, conceited A hole out of the ring. Broner has the conceited A hole part down good. But Floyd is smart and Bronr is ******. Floyd is handsome and Broner is ugly. Floyd is a great fighter and I don't think Broner will ever be more that a good fighter and that's not so bad. Some fighters may possibly come along that are as good as Mayweather but in a different way. It is hard for me to imagine a better pure boxer than Mayweather showing up for a long time. In the smaller weights Rigo is a great boxer.
