Official Mayweather vs Maidana Master Discussion & Postfight Analysis Thread

[LoadedWraps]

Not to mention Chino and his trainer have probably given a lot of thought on how to avoid having the 'Devon template' applied to him again.

Without question. Maidana is better defensively and quicker on his feet. Now he can pivot like sweet pea, on the inside and gain new angles without losing range so he can still land devastating shots to Floyds untested ribcage that will go through earthquakes.

Do you guys legitimately think Maidana wins? If so considering you've been screaming he K.Os Floyd for months how much credit are you going to give Floyd when he inevitably takes him to school?

Or is it the usual case of they will win, I bet anything all my points & ****, Floyds '0' is gonna go then post fight its all; He was drained doe, cherrypick doe, he a bum doe, he flat footed doe?

I just don't understand the whole betting and almost going mad claiming, promising he will lose only to give him no credit when he proves you wrong which is time & time again..
Its something you'd probably come to expect from a bitter ex girlfriend who can't let go of a grudge & I am not particularly a fan of the guy but you better believe I respect him & won't ever bet my hard earned cash against the guy or against anybody for that matter out of hatred.

Fair enough if you don't like him and its a case of wanting him to lose but the whole betting your money out of hatred, ranting he will lose & sounding like you firmly believe it only to backtrack after the fight & give the guy zero credit, continually, its alarming.

Look at known or semi-known Floyd fans on this board, we mostly have Floyd in our avatars or signatures.

It's an obsession with them. The thing about it, a lot of people don't want to marvel at greatness when its in front of them. Especially when its not your favorite that is performing great. I know that feeling, I'm from Michigan, I'm a Detroit Lion fan as well. However, in the case of Floyd, there isn't really a rational reason that people use. It's why Castillo and the punch from Mosley is so often repeated on these boards. Floyd has seen this fight before, there is only one way Maidana is going to come at Floyd and that is hard. Maidana has never seen anything like Floyd. Sparring Steve Forbes isn't enough, nowhere near enough. Like Floyd said today, he couldn't knock out a blown up lightweight in Broner nor glass chin Khan yet he's going to KO the one of the greatest defensive fighters ever? Hate shouldn't fall into delusion yet that is a common occurrence here and other places. Appreciate what we have here in Floyd. 46-0 on Saturday.

Dwyer says this is Dan Marino vs Tim Tebow

Vamos Chino

I have a feeling Mayweather is gonna get ****ed up worse than Broner. Karma for ducking Pacquiao and draining Canelo? Perhaps.

[simmer]

Floyd Mayweather will resemble a frantic person being attacked by a swarm of killer bees when he steps in the ring vs Marcos "The Bee Hive" Maidana. It is not the KO power that Maidana is carrying that gives him a chance to defeat FM, it is his unrelenting high volume of punches that come from all angles that will give Floyd hell. Floyd's clinching tactics are not going to be a factor in this boxing equation for it will only play in favor for Team Garcia's formula of assault.

[IMDAZED]

Is that your prediction?

Dan. Dan. Come on

[IronDanHamza]

Dan. Dan. Come on

I didn't think it was, just wasn't sure.

Very much excited for the fight now.

It's hilarious to me because the same people who say he cherry picks, pick him to lose his fights What sense does that make?

There are guys literally who picked Mosley to win, Ortiz to win, beg questions like "Mayweather should fight Cotto at 154" etc and then after the fight say they were cherry picks. Literally cannot work both ways.

I think the whole cherrypicking thing is just played out now. I get it before the Mosley fight it was the "in" thing to say, which was followed by "If he does fight Mosley I'll never call Floyd a cherry picker again" but to continue it at this stage is just silly to me.

I hear you. But the the ignore function is the way the go. Doesn't rid all of the garbage on this site, but it helps.
