Comments Thread For: Maidana: I Don’t Need the KO to Beat Floyd Mayweather

[LoadedWraps]

Though some might believe that there’s no way that Marcos Maidana can defeat Floyd Mayweather by decision on May 3 — that he would need to hurt Mayweather and finish him off — that’s not what Maidana believes.

“With Broner, everybody thought I had to knock him out, and I [won] by decision,” Maidana said on a media conference call on April 16, as translated by his trainer, Robert Garcia.

Maidana is right, people are counting him out too quickly, if he can out do Floyd's output per round and he doesn't stop him, he can outwork him to a decision.

The whole Maidana camp is drinking out of the same punchbowl. Yesterday it was Garcia saying Chino could beat anyone on Floyd's resume. Is any work getting done in that gym?

Their mouths are doing a lot of running.

they need to run their mouth or else this fight wont sell a dime because of the fact that this is completely a mismatch

If you remove the KOs, Maidana's record is 4-3 and nothing that shows that he can beat someone at the level of Floyd. Who he lost to are important to note as well as the close win against a past it Morales.


Maidana, sure you have a chance of a UD against Floyd.

Floyd, Schaeffer and Ellerbe must all be laughing all the way to the bank!

No choice.

All people need to do is check out the other carefully selected opponents made by Floyd. They beat a hyped up fighter and then people expect the guy to do the same against Floyd. How many times can people fall for the exact same freaking formula ....... unbelievable!

Floyd doesn't hit hard enough nor will he stand in there and fight to hurt anyone. Maidana will walk right thru anything he throws and really hurt Floyd in this fight. Floyd will play to run and pot shot and hold and clinch, but at some point he'll get caught and we all know Floyd does not take a good punch.

I have not seen a fighter yet walk through Mayweather's straight right hand. When Floyd hits him repeatedly with that straight right Maidana will rethink his whole fight plan!!!
