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

a bully?
floyd is good at deflecting his opponent's aggression when fighting inside with his counters and shoulder roll but he's not a bully. a bully brings the fight to his opponent until he finds his way inside...floyd is simply not that kind of a fighter.

Floyd isn't really a "bullier" in the inside.
He's quite strong but his strength is overrated since the Mosley fight.
He was getting completely outmuscled by Cotto when it went to the inside.

Cotto was more impressive, but he only won the rounds more convincingly. Your statement is incorrect.
And Ortiz was more impressive than Cotto, Canelo or Guerrero combined...
Mayweather don't want that rematch, Ortiz was walking him down.

Originally posted by Syf View PostMayweather 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...
