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

[Frank Ducketts]

Floyd is not Broner. Floyd would beat Maidana's ass from start to finish. Floyd's body work would tire Maidana out. Maidana might try that dirty **** that he usually does, and he would realize quick that Floyd is stronger than he thinks. Maidana wouldn't stand a prayer. Floyd too defensive.

[punchr]

I love Maidana even more after reading this statement. The man is a real fighter. He puts it all on the line and throws with bad intentions. And he is very, very skilled -- considering he is a puncher/brawler. The second knockdown on Adrien Broner was a beautifully executed, perfectly timed combination -- left hook up top, right hook fully turned in to the body, and left hook back upstairs. All in less than two seconds.

If I was Mayweather I would be looking elsewhere, too.

Maidana knows how to set up power punches too well against movers and walk-you-down styles.

Floyd schools broner EVERYBODY knows this so takin the dana win and sayin he can do the same to floyd is plain dumb!!!!!!
Floyd whoops dana an wins UD easy!!!!!!
Those who think chino has skills dont know boxing dana has lost to skillful boxers who move an he knocks down brawlers like himself who come streight forward with no head or body movement or dummies like ab who can box but choose to ignore power floyd knows power thats why his defense is the best ever!!!!

They all say the samething before a Mayweather chance, once they get there it's the same old story from the 2nd if not the 1st round onwards. I actually want someone that can challenge Mayweather in terms of style and ring generalship.

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.



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.



See what I said above.



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

According to many prime has more to do with age than weight class. Also the talk of intangibles doesn't make sense. The only way to beat him is something we don't have a name for? Hes not a mythical dragon just a boxer. We've seen him face better versions of maidana. I for one would like to see something new

Yea the great Marcos maidana

Yes the Great Marcos Maidana..the picture you had of Broner punching Maidana in the face before Broner lost and now has been removed ever since the fight

[jondacon]

Guess you lost that in translation. He said he would throw 100 punches per second to land 2 or 3 and that EVERYONE can get knocked out. Basically a drown with punches strategy. That's exactly what he did with Broner and that's what he would do against Gayweather. And that's the reason why Gay wont risk fighting him.

Miadana is today the best fight Gay could make. Especially after the baby Floyd beatdown? NO DOUBT! The most marketable, big bro avenging little bro kind of fight. The only reason this fight wouldnt happen is that Floyd has become such a cherrypicker he doesnt even want to risk fighting Chino, a fight he should feel comfortable enough about winning.

That's that people. There's no side B to it.

So he wont fight Maidana cuz he's ducking.... not cuz Maidana is contractually obligated to rematch Bone-Head?

Floyd isnt fighting Maidana becuase the older he gets the more of a btch he's becoming. Sorry man but that's that.

He's being such a cherry picker by not fighting Maidana its not even funny. He should win with enough margin again Maidana, he should feel comfortable enough taking that fight but he clearly isnt.

After what Maidana did to Broner, the pushing during the weight in, the gun to the head, the humping and the 12 round beat down of who had been sold to everyone as Baby Floyd, its marketing 101 to put the REAL Floyd up there in the ring with Maidana and show everyone the difference between baby Floyd and the real deal. Floyd should win in theory, but at least you have some hope of Maidana keeping the pressure, a small chance of winning.
That's sht would sell like crazy!
But no, because old lady gayweather doesnt want the slightest risk of losing his zero so he's fighting glass jaw sissy Khan.

[WarMaidana]

he would definately bring it a lot begtter than canelo, guerrero, and mosley thats forsure
