People are still underestimating WARana, he will take Floyd into deep waters.

Seriously, who is in charge of the graphics for this fight? Goddamn. I could do a way better job of putting together a graphic / art theme. So many possibilities yet they go with the most generic, cheap looking bland look. And "The Moment"? Come on!!

This could be an epic fight (including buildup) if they work on it right.

Thankfully, this is one of those fights that will speak for itself and will deliver. Maidana will be a wild bull.

I am the furthest thing from a Mayweather fan - I'm one of the people who would LOVE to see him get knocked on his ass and beat up in the ring, but the simple fact is that Maidana isn't the one who can do it.

Canelo was also going to give Floyd a hard time because he wouldn't stop coming forward and he was a power puncher. But in Canelo's case, he was younger and wouldn't gas out in later rounds. And look what happened - Floyd made it look easy.

Look at Maidana/Khan... how on earth do people think Floyd won't be able to do what Khan already has done?

I would love to see Maidana win, but his only shot is a lucky power punch early in the fight that rocks Floyd and gets him a TKO. And there is about a 0.0001% chance of that happening.

Three factors: improvement, styles, and time.

Maidana has improved hand over fist, and learned from his losses. One difference is his approach to the clinch against Devon vs. His approach to the clinch vs Broner.

Styles make fights and May is not Khan (doesnt run as much doesnt throw as much combinations) or Devon (doesnt clinch as much or throw as much combinations.) He is a different formula, a slower pace, so the same tired arguments about Amir and Devon are tired.

And time eventually gets to every fighter.Floyd isnt prime and Maidana pretty much is. Its a mystery factor but not to be ignored.

Floyd is letting his hands go in camp already.

While agree with you that time isn't on Floyd's side which makes this fight very interesting especially if Chino fights Floyd like Jesus Chavez did. But let's be serious for a second Floyd does everything better than both Devon and Khan.

anything less than a KO from floyd would be consider a failed. floyd has to KO maidana

This is what you call child abuse

Something tells me most of votes for Maidana and who members want to win, not who they think will win. This is not that good of a matchup competitively.
