I guess it makes sense that Floyd had clowns enter the ring before him because he's the kind of the clowns. Really he's a joke of a p4p champion and certainly cannot be ranked in the top 5 of all time. He's had nowhere near the amount of fights as a true legendary boxing champion such as Chavez Sr., Sugar Ray Robinson, Archie Moore, Joe Louis, etc. and has had the opportunity to cherry pick all his opponents and arguably have an influence on the judging and refereeing thanks to his financial and political boxing power. None of the previously mentioned boxer had this luxury and fought whoever was put in front of them for many more fights than Floyd did. All the Money Men should stop talking about Floyd as the best ever as it only displays your ignorance of the history of boxing. Just because he's p4p today doesn't automatically make him the best ever. Do some research about the true champions in boxing's past and stop talking BS.
Oh and by the way, I had the fight 7-5 for Maidana. I don't know how you could give Floyd more than 1 round of the first 6. Floyd definitely won the second half of the fight but I gave 2 rounds to Maidana. Floyd clearly won 7 & 8 and 10 and 11 I thought. I gave him the 6th and the 12th as well.
Another note about the fight: Tony Weeks allowed Floyd to hold for the entire fight when Maidana was trying to work. He also pushed down Maidana's head and used his elbows and shoulders a lot. Maidana responded by pushing Floyd's head down and some low blows. This was really Maidana's only option to even the playing field given Weeks had no intention of penalizing Floyd for his inside tactics. Realistically, however, the low blows were either borderline or light because Floyd never reacted physically as if he really hit him low unless Floyd has a small package. He complained but didn't really appear to have been hit low. That's just my view on it anyways. It was no surprise Floyd scored the decision easily on two cards. The judges were likely on his side and with Floyd's money and influence could easily be swayed in a corrupt business such as pro boxing.
