Comments Thread For: Mayweather Repeats, Decisions Maidana in Las Vegas

[Ringlife]

I watched the fight but I didn't pay for it &I'm glad I didn't that was a boring fight.

garcia said before the fight that they would get to wear 8oz gloves, so there goes the glove excuse, he tried to knee him in the nuts now he bites him...
Tyson Tyson was sentenced with a permanent suspension from boxing and his license cancelled forever. He was also fined $3,000,000 and had to serve long hours of community service. Thats what Maidana deserves and Garcia needs to be disciplined for being an accessory. Hes gonna lose his check for the fight. I hope he can borrow some money for a plane ticket back home.

Those gloves have to much padding on the knuckles if it didn't matter than why does Floyd insist in theses gloves ?

Maidana came in with a different game plan and it didn't work well for him. It seemed like he was trying to box a little more and control his aggression as oppose to bringing that same balls out pressure from the first fight. Maidana actually looked like a decent boxer (a very sluggish boxer but a boxer nonetheless)and not a brawler, and this in turn cost him the fight.
As far as Mayweather, he did not look the same either. He looked scared, worried, and at time unsure of himself. You could really see this whenever Maidana landed a clean shot ,it buzzed Mayweather, and made him think a little too much. It almost seemed like he kept second guessing himself, he didn't really flow into his rhythm like he usually does. Maidana, in my opinion, had the mental edge this time around, but just couldn't exploit it. As far as all the physical attributes though, I saw the same ol' Money May. His reflexes were sharp, his foot-work was great, when he let his hands go, the speed was there too. I mean he obviously isn't the same as say 10 years ago, but he hasn't declined much either. Does this all of a sudden make him any more or less "beatable" than before? Who knows. In my opinion Mayweather is beatable, very beatable in fact, he always has been, just for some reason everybody falls short and they keep coming with the WRONG game-plan.


One thing I didn't care for too much was the few times he "fell", the "KENNY HELP ME FACE" and the complete acting job he did after the alleged "BITE-GATE".


One more thing guys, one more thing. You can't say "Mayweather was hugging and clinching too much the entire fight" and then with a straight face turn around and say, "I can't believe the **** job Bayless did, by trying to separate them too much and make sure they didn't clinch"..lol..Think about it.

With that being said 47-0.

I see what you're saying, but I don't think we got an opportunity to see maidanas brawling style. MM stuffed that with the clinching and movement. Maidana is limited and MM had to give him something in order for him to have an effect. I don't think it was a flawed gameplay by Maidana. The ref stepping in compounded how ineffective Maidana could be. I know I'm in the minority, but I thought Maidana gave a great account of himself.

The big question is still :

Name the WW PRIME ELITE that JR has fought that defines his WW career making him TBE

For instance Clay fought the killer SONNY LISTON,,,, Then as ALI fought Frazier,,,,then fought PRIME ELITE Champion George Foreman

Name JR's prime Elites. Maidana has never been a prime elite WW

PRIME ELITES are the likes of Duran, Leonard, Pacquiao, Hearns, Cotto, Pacquiao, Hagler, Margo not Balto hahahahahaha, Pacquiao, Williams,

Why is this question so hard for the Joy boys to answer ?????

answer:
VVVVVVVVVVVV

Can you please tell me the outcomes of those fights you mentioned up above, as I was not around to have witnessed them.
You also mention two Pacquiao's above, can you please give me both their first names(please don't say Bobby). Roberto Duran, "Sugar" Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns and Marvelous Marvin Hagler have hung up the gloves, so I don't think Floyd will be facing them anytime soon. As for Antonio Margarito, he was soundly beaten (and exposed as a cheat)by a gentleman named Sugar Shane Mosley, who was then picked apart by Mayweather. And Paul Williams (I truly do hope he recovers from his tramautic motorcycle accident), was out-boxed by a gentleman by the name of Carlos Quintana, whom by the way is about 8 levels below Mayweather's skill set (Yes I know Williams destroyed him in the rematch). This Carlos Quintana character was also beaten by a man who goes by MIGUEL ANGEL COTTO (my favorite boxer actually). Miguel Cotto fought a very competitive contest with this said Mayweather at the 154 lb weight limit, to which Mayweather was named the victor and rightfully so. Do you see where I am going with this?

Name the WW PRIME ELITE that JR has fought that defines his WW career making him TBE

I don't know what you consider ELITE, you Mentioned Margarito and Williams, who are far from ELITE. So it's a little hard to answer your questions, for the obvious reason, that we may have differing opinions on "ELITE WW".

But to make you feel good about yourself, I will dare to say NONE with the exception of Cotto, but that was at SUPER WW so hmm, maybe I'm reaching.
The only ELITE level fighter that I guess Mayweather can prove himself against is MANNY PACQUIAO. And while I'm not a huge fan of Pacquiao, he has done enough in his career to be considered ELITE. But Pacquiao had a lot of trouble and even got Knocked out by a gent' named Juan Manuel Marquez (another one of my favorites), and well he fought and lost........you know what I'm not even going to get started.

Good DAY to you Sir.

BTW Floyd Is definitely one of my favorites, but TBE, its definitely a stretch. I do think TBE is a good brand name and great marketing ploy though.

I am so disappointed in Marcos.

That was not the same Marcos Maidana that we saw on May 3rd of last year.

I was worried that he would "BOX" Floyd.. and look what we get.

I'm a Floyd fan, but THAT!? That was Floyd fighting the same.. and Marcos fighting different.

I was still expecting a competitive fight, but Floyd changed NOTHING while Marcos changed EVERYTHING.

Honestly.. Marcos was no where near that "I DON'T GIVE A FUH" mother FUH that he was from the first fight. To me, he was trying to be a boxer.. and failed.

Marcos almost gave Floyd his first L and this time around, to me, he was far from doing it again.

Why he tried to outbox one of the best boxers in history behind an ineffective jab is beyond me.

I thought it would be a closer fight, but it wasn't.

I was really looking for that rough and tumble, wide looping Marcos from the first fight.

He didn't show up.

Dah well, I'm still half drunk.. im out

There is no way Maidana would have been allowed to fight the same fight without being DQed. If he got DQed everyone one be saying how he didn't adjust to how the fight was being called. And truth is, he didn't really adjust, the ref simply stepped in and broke them up. He only hit once at the break, and it was when he had a free hand. Maybe he could have done it one or two more times, but that wouldn't have changed the outcome.

In regards to the bite, both fought 'dirty'. If someone is placing their glove in your eyes and mouth, that's an illegal move. Biting is an illegal move. In boxing, I'm fine with two wrongs making a right.

And some of MM's antics reminded me of an old Hopkins. He is a master of hiding dirty tactics as well as crying to the ref. still Hopkins my favorite fighter, but he needs to resort to those tactics because he is not as physical gifted.

MM has been boxing since age four. It's his life. He trains nonstop. He's the best fighter in the world. A bit shocked to see him resort to those tactics, as well as imitate DLH in round twelve the the Trinidad fight.

Who is that In your avi

smokey robinson?or richard pryor?

[RobBond]

I realize that boxing is a very opinionated/subjective sport, but I just cannot understand how anyone considers Mayweather the "best ever". I personally have a hard time fitting him into my top 10. That fight last night was classic Mayweather aka boring as hell. Someone at CBS is going to end up losing their job over the Mayweather deal, there is no way in hell they've made any $ of his 6 fight contract. With only 2 fights left, only 25% of the PPV's have sold over 1 million buys...if this fight sold 600,000 they would be lucky. It's time for Floyd to step up and end his career fighting the best and that means Pacquiao.

[StrangerInTown]

One of the worst PPV cards in the history of the sport.
I'm done.
And hopefully so are most of the other suckers who give this woman beating, non role model, hardly the best ever ass their hard earned bread.

Man up and fight the only reasonable contender deserving of a unification bout.

I've seen them come and go in the grand hotel of prizefighting and I'll wager that Pacquiao will erase that unholy zero.
