Who will be the next Mayweather after hes gone??

  1. I won't hate but I will be honest. Mayweather stayed away from fighters that he thought my give him problems, mainly pacman, and also other fighters like bradley he has purposely chosen to avoid, and fight slower fighters, like cotto and Guerrero. The fighters he has beaten is impressive, but let's face it, he has dodged fighters, that's facts.

    The gif is for the Bradley remark. I mean really? Floyd avoided Bradley?
     
  3. Of course Mayweather does not like to face speed, that's why it's public knowledge he dodged pacman, and after what he saw with Bradley out boxing pacman, he didn't want that either, why not fight the guy that best the guy you have been dodging forever, because he doesn't like Bradley's speed and boxing, what he does like is a fighter with weakness, like slow fighters, and I like khan but he has weaknesses, Bradley can be tough to crack if he is scared and looking to box and not brawl

    With only 12 fights, Rigo has already done better
    than Floyd at that number of fights.

    Right now Andre Ward's the closest in skill level and mentality. If he manages to have a breakout fight, probably at the higher level, then appeal himself to the mainstream then he has a good chance to make it as the next face of boxing. He's quite dry as a personality though, and looks like he's half asleep most of the time. Would need some major PR work.

    Rigo's got the skills but I'm not sure he'll ever achieve the fame and standing. Would say he's more like the next Ivan Calderon, sublimely skilled boxer fighting in the lower divisions, but not really a name guy. Wouldn't mind being proved wrong though.

    Broner's just a mindless clone and flawed in a number of ways. I doubt he ever replaces Floyd, nor would I want him to.
