I think Mayweather will win this fight by UD

[darius45]

At least the undercard is good... Mayweather still makes it up to the fans

Maidana's mouthpiece for the fight. Gotta love his confidence

That's not confidence, that's foolishness. He is fighting a person that's never been on his back while he didn't KO the likes of a Broner or a Khan. Yet he is going to KO the best defensive fighter ever? He is fighting Floyd Mayweather, he isn't fighting 45-0. Floyd isn't giving two ****s about 35-3 or 31KOs. Its all eyes on Marcos Maidana. I can't say the same for Chino.

I like Chino's confidence personally; plus I like the fact they haven't done a face-off yet which is WWE style to build it up I hope they don't face-off until the weigh in.

Lol calm down there buddy. What should he enter the fight thinking he has no chance?

Be realistic. There is nothing in their history that says he's capable of doing what he is saying. Expect to face the best opponent you will ever face and say that I'll give it my all and I feel that my efforts will have my hand raised in victory.

No, we get mouthpieces with records on them, saying Broner and Mayweather fight the same, awkward styles will cause Floyd problems, etc... I get it, he's in the limelight, he's enjoying the limelight. However, there is something to say for acting like you've been here before because when you don't, the enormity of the event can and will overtake you. In Floyd's mind, he's fighting Marcos. In Marcos' mind, he's fighting 45-0, 20 million dollar paydays.

His focus on this fight has never been right. Robert's focus has never been right. Having Marcos watch videos of boxing upsets. That right there shows Marcos that he doesn't feel his own fighter is on even footing for Floyd, that it is going to require a miracle to win. Is that the seed that you want to plant in your fighter's head. That this isn't a 50/50 fight or the greats have to lose at some point in time?

I know many people don't like him, but Floyd is different. He hit the genetic lottery as far as physical attributes and unlike virtually everyone in history outside of LeBron James, has never abused them or took them for granted or had a life changing event that forced him to avoid them for a while. He grew up with championship caliber boxers guiding his career. He does not overlook his opponent and as he has gotten older, he's become even more cerebral in his approach in fighting. I prefer his 2013 incarnation than I do the 2009 version, even with the decline in physical skills.

Basically, I understanding coming to win, but be honest with what you are up against and they aren't being honest.

Whilst I am 99.9 percent sure that Mayweather will win this fight I still think Maidana has the right mind set

Call me ****** but if he doesn't think he will win then this fight would be completely pointless,I like his confidence,you need that to even have a slim chance of beating Mayweather

[milkroot]

the last fight Floyd was in his prime was the hatton fight, imo.

What you have to realize is that -- unlike most boxers -- Mayweather does not solely rely on his physicality. His fights are won in the gym, press conferences, and weigh-in's.

Mayweather by boxing lesson.
