    Floyd's next opponent needs to go for broke

    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.

      Out of all his recent opponents, Ortiz and Cotto had the best showing.

      Cotto really went for it.

        Herrera out boxed Provodnikov and you think that? Didn't you see how silly Bradley made him look when he opted to boxed?

          Provodnikov? HAHAHAHA

          This is why we get stuck with Mismatch Fights because fans love these Power Punchers who don't have any skills

          Mayweather would shut out Provodnikov

            I actually agree with this. Every opponent gets picked apart with punches they literally cannot see, yet none of them are getting knocked out. Why?
            1. Because Mayweather's power did not carry over to the welterweight division
            2. His offensive output is minute, yet extremely efficient, which decreases the chance of a knockout.

            What opponents need to realize, is the straight right and lounging left are inevitable. Accept that you're going to take the punches, and go to war. Cotto, Ortiz, and Hatton have been the only opponents that have really done this, Hatton was KO'd, we know what happened with Ortiz, and Cotto fought the most competitive fight of Mayweather's career since the 1st fight against Castillo.

            IMO, the perfect opponent which not only possesses the skill, heart, and determination, but also the marketability to do so, is none other than Timothy Bradley. He gets past Marquez, and he should be the next Mayweather foe IMO. We'll see.

                he would do ten times worse than Canelo did. What is wrong with these people?

                  No, the guys who have given him his toughest fights, and in Castillo's case arguably beat him, were fighters with skills that gave Mayweather trouble. It's never as simple as "rush at him" or "box him" when you are talking ATG fighters. You have to have the skill to back any gameplan up.

                    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.
