Floyd Mayweather vs. Ruslan Provodnikov.

[daggum]

Mismatch. Worse than Guerrero

guerrero is slow, has no power, and tried to counter punch floyd. prov isn't going to do that. he's going to come forward and take punches until floyd falls. i bet floyd would have margarito flashbacks and start crying in fear.

Seriously? Floyd probably wouldn't be able to outwork him the way Bradley did, but I don't see how Ruslan would win two clear rounds, let alone be able to land consistently on Floyd as he did Bradley. Floyd by a shutout UD.

24 hours from a Pac fight and all his biggest fans can talk and think about is Floyd.

Floyd would stuff him on the inside and use movement on the outside.

Ruslan will find it tough to get off and get frustrated at being unable to find Floyd.

You need hand and foot speed with weird angles to catch Mayweather. There is only one fighter that has the whole package.

Jab to the body, straight right hand upstairs. Unlike Bradley, Floyd has a better defense both on the outside and on the inside. I can see Floyd stand in the pocket with him and potshots him without getting as reckless as Bradley did. Ruslan doesn't even use the same dirty rabbit punches tactic that Guerrero use. How would he frustrate Floyd? Remember, Floyd isn't Bradley.

That ship has sailed. Pacquiao needs space to get his straight punches off. He isn't effecting at fighting off the back foot. One thing that Floyd does well when he's fighting southpaws is that he can systematically walk them down and cut their punching range off while he gets his punches off first. Manny is still a dynamic puncher who can still throw and hit his opponents at very weird angles, but he makes far too many mistakes that Floyd would capitalize on.

Floyd doesn't fight like Marquez, but i actually think that Floyd would use the same blueprint that Morales used against Manny in their first bout. Even if they don't have the same style, but Floyd's style is a lot closer to Morales than to Marquez. Morales managed to counter over Manny's jab with a left hook(That's something that Floyd does quite effectively well against southpaws), and would be able to offset Manny's rhythm with a straight right hand downstairs and upstairs. He ate a lot of leathers from Pacquiao, but he landed the better effective punches and controlled the pace of the fight.

I'd like to see it myself.

Provodnikov is a free agent isn't he?

Definitely an interesting fight.

Let me guess though it would be a cherry pick for Floyd.

Mismatch. Worse than Guerrero

Ghost did tons better than canelo

Another fight that would be a "risk" for everyone else but Floyd.

It's amazing how people can hype up an ESPN fighter because he did better than expected in a loss. He has absolutely no chance against Floyd.
