Ruslan Provodnikov is the only fighter Mayweather can't bully on the inside

[DARKSEID]

Look at what happened when Bradley tried to do it.

Plus let's not forget about the Roach factor. Make fun of him all you want but this guy is obviously a boxing genius. He's failed against mayweather before, but that doesn't mean he can't figure out how to beat him if he keeps trying.

Ruslans fun but he's a bleeder. Mayweather probably stops him on cuts.

Man i'm rewatching the fight right now, and you know who else Mayweather can't bully on the inside? ****ing Timothy Bradley. That guy is a soldier in the ring.

He baited Ruslan to brawl with him, got him tired, off his game plan and then proceeded to box him.

Timothy Bradley Vs Mayweather is another good fight.

You lost me when you said Roach is a boxing genius.

And you know two fighters who boxing fans, boxing writers and casual fans will spit on after a Mayweather fight because they are not Pacman?

Bradley and Provodnikov!

*throw Golovkin in there too...

unfortunately Pacman and Mayweather need to end this...they need each other more than they think and their pride only allows them to say they don't because they are content with their success and money to not risk losing to their rivals...Arum knows that because he's also playing a part in it not happening

You lost me when you said Roach is a boxing genius.

Why do you say he isn't?

[revs1227]

um if he beat hatton on the inside with dirty tactics ruslan would be a walk in the park

Mayweather couldn't bully Robert on the inside either. He just nullified the guy by tying him up. The only thing he was doing to robert up close was that roll counter of his.

Doesn't matter though... Robert was lost in mid and long range.. and his strongest asset was nullified rather easily...

[Syf]

Oh, and Ruslan would be a good fight to see against Mayweather, just because of the styles.

Ruslan is the type of guy that will go for broke, a la castillo. You need that against Mayweather. All these other guys... Robert, Cotto, Mosley, Canelo... tried to box him. laughable.

That makes no sense at all, trying to break someone at their strongest point. You should try to exploit weakness not play into your opponent's strengths.

Having said all that, Provodnikov brings the best out of May, and unless May ages overnight, May still wins by dec.

Great fight though

[Holywarrior]

What does that matter? I doubt he could bully guys like Angulo either
