Going up against Conor McGregor, the king of mind games, Floyd Mayweather should spice up his walk out before the fight on Aug. 26 with some faces that could rattle his opponent. Here are five people who should walk Mayweather to the ring.

In boxing, an important aspect that often gets lost behind the glitz and glamour of a fight is the entrance of a fighter. Before entering the ring, fans are treated to a small glimpse of what these fighters look like upon entering what could be the biggest fight of their lives.

From the entrance alone, we can learn so much from a fighter’s demeanor that it could be enough to sway our original opinion on the outcome of the fight.

Are they stoic because they are nervous or prepared? Are they jubilant because they are happy in this environment? How well did they warm up in the back? Are they ready?

In just two to three minutes, these questions can be answered. But the walkout doesn’t have to be used strictly for answering some last-minute questions you may have had about the fighter.

It can also be used to play some mind games.

A walkout in boxing is almost as theatric as the fight itself so a lot of times, fighters use this opportunity to try to get into their opponents’ heads one last time before they start fighting.

As we’ve all come to know, Floyd Mayweather is a colorful personality inside and outside the boxing ring. His words and actions can rub people, especially some of his opponents, the wrong way.

In his upcoming fight against Conor McGregor, there is no doubt that Mayweather could look to fluster the boxing novice before they throw down and one way to do this would be to walkout with someone with true disdain for McGregor.
