Do you expect Floyd Mayweather to give us a crowd pleasing fight on May 3?

[champion4ever]

I have a question for boxing fans. I was wondering since Mayweather hasn't given us a fan appreciation fight since his Ricky Hatton bout in 2007. Do you expect him to settle down more with combination punching by trading with Marcos Maidana or just simply outpointing him with movement, clinching and landing single counters and punches at a time? So I am just curious to know what do you all think? Will he fight or just box to an easy 12 round victory?

Yes, Floyd will go toe to toe with Maidana in the center of the ring until one of them drops.

Well it would be awesome if he did though. It's the kind of fight us boxing fans deserve for supporting him these past 18 years of his career.

Floyd Vs Cotto was a crowd pleasing fight, without as much clinching.

He will counter Maidana over and over again. I doubt he will go to war with him.
The fact he is expected to win so easily puts the pressure on him to get the win. And with Floyd, he wont take major risks to please the fans.

So im not sure if he will throw combos if Maidana is punching with him. Its too much of a risk. Unless he is out of range.

Another UD i think. The excitement will come from Maidana who will push the action all night.

If Maidana can put pressure on like Hatton it might be entertaining, but if Maidana is slow-footed like Guerrero it will be boring.

If they aren't tired of seeing him do essentially the same thing he's done since 2009 they'll be pleased I'm sure.

That was a very hotly contested fight. Hatton was able to effectively cut off the ring against Floyd; Thereby, forcing him to fight at a much faster pace than usual. In that particular bout, Mayweather was actually forced to dig deep and bite down by putting combination punches together in order to fight Ricky off of him and subsequently stopping him.

If you can appreciate boxing and what a master technician Floyd is in the ring, then yes. A lot of people say Floyds fights are "boring" but I enjoy watching him pick apart his opponents for 12 rounds.

Floyd Vs Cotto was a crowd pleasing fight, without as much clinching.

I agree in spurts, Cotto was very effective but his detriment was that he was too inconsistent. He had his moments though, however he was never able to sustain an effective rhythm or attack against Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

He would press Mayweather along the ropes for a single round then relent. Then he would effectively out box and out jab Mayweather for a single round and then once again would relent as well. The problem with your assessment is that Miguel lacked the stamina and cardio to fight like that for the full twelve rounds.

He arguably lost at least 9 of those 12 rounds.
