Comments Thread For: Maidana: I'd Come To Beat Mayweather, Not Get Paid

[HAY-B]

I think the time is ripe for the fans to step up here & now ..

Start an online petition strongly in favor of Mayweather vs Maidana and vehemently against Mayweather vs Khan.

Maidana has EARNED the fight by facing FIVE consecutive WW's winning both the WBA intercontinental and world titles.

Khan hasn't done shit!!! Except run away from Devon Alexander ... and getting one beat-down after another. WTF!!!!!!

Petition and Boycott: Mayweather vs Khan

No disrespect but I think this would be pointless because Floyd's money is already guaranteed. If he had no contract with SHO/CBS, this would be a worthy effort and your mission might be accomplished. Since the contract is in place, he could fight Mickey Mouse and we'd have to accept it should we choose to watch. Boycotting his PPV is only effecting his backend money, not his purse. If there was no one in attendance, he's still getting paid once the bell rings.

Thats exactly why he wont fight you my brother!

You are so WHACK!!! You repeat the same ish over & over again with every Floyd opponent, smdh...step yo post game up!!!

[Frank Ducketts]

Floyd would beat Maidana's ass. That wouldn't even be a fight.

[FerFAL]

Ferfal I thought you had picked Maidana....wtf


I saw Broner's mindset being trouble for a guy with the intangibles of Maidana... Add to that the fact Broner is largely stationary and the obvious improvements Garcia is working on, and it was a slam dunk Maidana pick for me.

Youre right ...

Broner has never faced someone like Maidana. I'm with Maidana in that fight too.

Broner is worse than I thought though. Its not just the attitude, but the skill just isnt there.

He might come to beat Floyd, but we all know he will not land anything

The guy fights one way, slow and predictable

Devon and Khan gave us the blueprint, he struggles with athletic fighters with movement, Floyd is just that, but with 100 times better defense


Maidana is just a poor mans Hatton

He'll get his wish though in September

Beat Floyd in what? Dominoes?

Beat Floyd in what? Dominoes?

No, Gayweather wont get close to Dominoes either. He's affraid of slipping with a piece and getting KO by accident. From now on he's fighting Khan, Morales, Zab II, Dallas Jr, you know, real monsters. For his last fight he's fighting a bag full of crap. Floyd has a press tour planned explaining how the bag full of crap is a dangerous and talented fighter.

Devon and khan gave a blueprint to beat the Maidana from 3 to 4 years ago. The Maidana that threw a mere 36 pawing jabs and landed 8 on Devon and laid in over 100 clinches, or the Maidana that didn't straighten his shots and looked sluggish against Khan.

And I've seen you say that Hatton stuff a couple times, it's horribly inaccurate like a lot of what you say. First of all Hatton didn't have the same pop, second Hatton fights completely different from Maidana. Don't know why people even let you get away with saying this bs.

I had Broner pegged to win the Maidana fight on skill alone. And I was wrong. But lets not act like Maidana didn't just beat a guy who was no where near the WW limit and not even in his prime yet ( an excuse I hear a lot about Floyd's win over Canelo).

Honestly I'd rather see the Khan fight for the speed factor alone. Maidana throwing caution to the wind and just going at Floyd, means nothing, considering that's something most fighters learn to overcome in the amateurs.

Nowhere near the ww limit? The guy had to cut a lot of weight. Lol at Broner's prime too...I would say the guy's "prime" was at 135. You guys just don't get it, at all. Speed doesn't matter if it's kept at home. Skills don't matter the most against Mayweather either. Mayweather has crafted a style that outskills anyone, he can fight any style. He can fight ANY style. Style considerations when you talk about Mayweather are well meant but misguided. What matters most against Floyd is mindset. Intangibles. And power. Intangibles and mindset allow you to weather the mind games everyone likes to say Floyd plays. Power lets you make your shot count when you finally land. A Castillo with more power would have beat Floyd. A Jesus Chavez with more pop could have beaten Floyd too. They both had iron chins that enabled them to WALK THROUGH FLOYD. Take 10 shots to land one. Maidana can do this too. That's what he brings to the table that Khan does not. Khan's game plan will change as soon as he's hit flush.

MM is nuts if he thinks guys are just fighting Floyd for the payday. Floyd gets in these guys heads so deep that they come in the ring ready to kill him and get discouraged when they can't hit him. The one who beats Floyd will get the huge paydays and might get elected as an honorary President of their nation. I know most of the folks posting in boxing forums would regard this person as a God. People think Pac fans are over the top. Just wait and see the folks coming out of the wood works to praise the one who beats Floyd. I'm telling you, you'll think it was the 2nd coming of Jesus.

See what I said above.

And I completely disagree - the vast majority of Mayweathers opponents in recent years are not known for their skill but known much more for being "tough" fighters - Hatton, Cotto, Guerrero and Alvarez have all ended up being completely outclassed - the power is irrelevant if can't hit your opponent. I'm not saying someone can out skill Mayweather but I do think a fighter with skill and speed will cause more issues than a flat footed brawler.
Amir Khan doesn't deserve the fight but that fight is a whole lot more interesting than the option to fight Maidana - ok there is the chance Khan could get caught early and the night will be over BUT if he doesn't the fight will be interesting, Khan is never in a dull fight and if goes to a decision it will be close! I'd rather the risk of a KO against Khan than a snoozefest against Maidana any day.

So much wrong with this... Many of you clearly have not watched all the Mayweather fights.

[Augustane]

Um....everyone comes to beat Mayweather

Not Robert Guerrero and Canelo Alvarez. They came to box Mayweather.
