Official Mayweather vs Maidana Master Discussion & Postfight Analysis Thread

[pugilistprophet1994]

I would love to see Maidana win, but I don't see it happening. Maidana is improved and has been on a steady streak of wins vs good fighters. One thing is for sure, Maidana isn't going to be like past Floyd opponents who are scared to throw, Maidana will try to tear Floyd's head off and he's not going to try and box him for the first few rounds. He should come out aggressive like against Broner, and try to make it ugly. He also hits harder than all of Floyd's past opponents. Don't bring up Maidana's old losses, the guys that beat him wouldn't beat the new Maidana. Especially not Khan. I'll watch this at a friends or somewhere, but I won't buy it. If Maidana beats Floyd=86 World Cup win for Argentina.

are 14:1 odds the definition of cherry picking?

for those that say fighting maidana = fighting rios
pac was coming off a ko loss nd floyds P4p#1 in the world, never lost.. so wtf?

Maidana will give Floyd a good test, because Floyd is not held to higher standards. SSM was supposed to test Floyd as well even though he was ancient.

But Floyd should continue to fight the Maidanas of this world because this is where Floyds real level is. Whereas the Miguel Cottos of this world can fight the Sergios. Pac can fight the Bradleys of this world after coming off a ko loss as well because Pac and Sergio are real fighters challenging themselves.

Floyd is also challenging himself, its just his challenges are not on the same level as his peers. Because Floyd is not on that level.

Mayweather. He has a really good jab when he wants to use it and I fully expect him to work it early like he was against Canelo. Maidana being Othodox, Mayweather has a lot of tools to use in this fight.

Barring a big punch, I think Mayweather puts Maidana down mid way through the fight, and takes a decision.

If Devon can take maidana to school, wtf do u think PBF is going to do. This might be my first Floyd fight I don't buy. Lol who am I kidding?? Money always entertains!! Here comes my 70 bucks floyd

I picked Maidana by ko. Just hoping he gets lucky and puts the boxing world on it's rear.

Though truthfully, I feel like Maidana will give it a go for a couple of rounds then be discouraged by constantly being beaten to the punch and tagged and somewhat mail it in in the later rounds.

Even old floyd is just too quick and slippery for Maidana no matter how much he has improved.


But will patiently wait for that wild right hand from el Chino to land....

I think Maidana is very focused, he showed that in the Broner fight (no one gave him a chance). Maidana has to attack, attack, attack non stop. He can take a beating, he can go down and come up ever more determined and Floyd has to win on points as he always does. Floyd isnt what he used to be and if Maidana is mentally focused yes, he can win by KO.

Since when is adrien broner = the greatest ever Floyd mayweather. I'm a huge fan of broner but Floyd would friggin destroy him.

Some of u guys just hate so much u don't appreciate what you r seeing. People hated on Jordan all the time but then after he retired the haters turned to fans because they realized that was one of the greatest athletes we have ever seen. Floyd has brushed a lot of people the wrong way but at the end of his career he will get that respect he really deserves.

Ps. Sorry Marcos you are getting your ass beat. I would take Guerrero and even khan again to beat him
