Official Mayweather vs Maidana Master Discussion & Postfight Analysis Thread

[simmer]

I want to see a war.

I know, right? Hopefully Mayweather gets caught early, loses his legs, and is forced to duke it out with Maidana.

Only thing is... Mayweather is not gonna gas out, so he should presumably be able to box for twelve three-minute rounds. However, he's going to need a high work rate, I think (because I don't think he can hurt Chino with one shot). Some guys have that stopping power in their punches, e.g. Keith Thurman, Marcos Maidana, Lucas Matthysse, Gennady Golovkin, etc. But I don't think Floyd has that stopping power, so he's gonna need to really let his hands go and be on his bike.

The power differential in this fight is huge. He's going to feel Marcos Maidana, no matter what he does. He will feel that freakish bull strength even if he wins on points.

Canelo had a mouse under his eye after 4 rds vs Floyd vs Angulo who's supposed to be a much bigger puncher he looked fine after the fight. Guerrero was cut and had a mouse vs Floyd vs Berto who also is considered a bigger punch he came out better. Ortiz and Cotto had facial damage early. So think the power difference is huge there's a reason nobody goes balls to wall. Floyd isn't Tommy Hearns be his power is good enough to put you in your place.

I don't necessarily think it is because of his power, which is underrated, I think it has more to do with Floyd's punches being so fast, crisp, and accurate.

Floyd doesn't have concussive power; when he decides to sit on his punches they do put his opponents in there place. When do you get into Vegas?

Said they aint tryna outbox mayweather and he mentioned cotto and castillo but mentioned a tactic never been tried before... Seems like garcia knows the deal.

[dc3383]

Garcia either going to look like a genius or get Maidana chopped up.

I predict Maidana doesn't even land one big punch.

Does it occur to anyone that Mayweather and Manny could have a trilogy of their own, generating over 100mil each for profit...I mean, floyd could double his net worth with Manny... But yeah, "boxing is a business"... except when you don't wanna lose your 0

I like Maidana i think most fans do he is a silent killer a real tough SOB but he is out of his depth against floyd its going to be a shut out
