Does Maidana have to use dirty tactics in order to beat Mayweather?..

You do know if Maidana wins, he'll get 20mill. Why in the hell would he throw the fight? Because in the very back of his mind, in a room, there a box, that is under another box, covered in layers or cement, with epoxy glue, tappered with riviets and in that box is a voice saying you might now win, just take the money. But i don't think that could happen with Maidana, but others could be influenced. Do you know who the ref is for this fight, has it been announce yet? If its Robert Byrd, we know he is in Mayweathers pocket.

Most fighter would need probably the old 15 rd system for this strategy to work. Floyd is a little tougher than most give him credit for and nearly every fighter he faces looks pretty winded close to the championship rounds. I say this could work but it would take time and you would need an intelligent pressure approach and being longer thsn Floyd would help tremendously. Get a ref that doesn't help out Floyd in the fight and its possable to happen in a 12 round fight, other wise i aggree. Pay attention to what the ref i also doing when Floyds opponet has momentum going in a round and you'll immediatly see the ref give a warning the Floyds opponet.

"Chino needs to fight dirty" "...So when Mayweather fights dirty don't complain" Lol, Mayweather is one of the dirtest fighters in boxing and looking back to his career he's always been a dirty fighter, why no one noticed before i don't know, i know i didn't. But, every fight he is in Mayweather uses the elbows countless times, he also likes to illegally bend at the waist his face almost touching the ground. Maidanna should worry about who the REF is going to be! Floyd didn't get out of line against Guerrero so i doubt he gets out of line aginst Maidana, would be funny to see Maidanna put Floyd in his place, but Floyd won dare act a fool.

Roberto Duran has been saying for about 2 or 3 years you have to be dirty hit the arms, the hips,shoulders the Kidneys and no one does it. If I trained someone I'll focus on hitting arms and shoulders and back portion of the ribs and side stepping to your right to avoid his counter rights and upper cuts Most fighter would need probably the old 15 rd system for this strategy to work. Floyd is a little tougher than most give him credit for and nearly every fighter he faces looks pretty winded close to the championship rounds. I say this could work but it would take time and you would need an intelligent pressure approach and being longer thsn Floyd would help tremendously.

What do Mayweather's anti-fans have to do with his fight being fixed?? I googled "boxing corruption". I did my own research and came across this excellent objectively made documentary. I am certain Mayweather's fights are fixed. And I'm not the only one. I have talked to a lot of real fans who don't hate Mayweather, but the shady secretive Al Haymon. I know why HBO cut ties with Al Haymon; it's because they knew he was setting up easy fights for Mayweather and, on top of that, fixing them! HBO has real boxing, don't you see it? Showtime is shady. Not all fights are fights, of course. Just the important ones, when there's a lot of money on the line, i.e. Mayweather and Canelo. Gotta protect their investment! You should be aware of the corruption element in boxing. Only a fool would deny its presence. The general public is ignorant to it. You do know if Maidana wins, he'll get 20mill. Why in the hell would he throw the fight?

Of course he will

Depends on what you consider dirty. If by dirty you mean roughing up a fighter in the clinch, staying inside, and and throwing borderline low shots to the body then yes. If by dirty tactics you mean blatant rule breaking like intentional rabbit punches, forearm blows, low blows, and hitting before/after the opening/ending bells, then no. That pretty much sums my feelings perfectly. Chino should show him no undue respect, go tit-for-tat, and make it as long a night as he can for Floyd.

Maidana isn't beating Floyd no matter what he does

i hope maidana uses the entire book on mayweather. those sneaky elbows from mayweather are dirty. just before the break during clinches, mayweather throws those fast sucker punches from the ref's blind spot. mayweather is the master of dirty tactics Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Just go in there n rough him up, no one cares about Mayweather lol Ricky Hatton tried that, ate a ringpost, and now nobody cares about him.

Just go in there n rough him up, no one cares about Mayweather lol

You're acting as if everything is in absolutes. You have a black-and-white mentality, totally ignoring the gray area. Not all fights are fixed, e.g. Garcia-Matthysse, Trinidad-Vargas, etc. But some are, especially when there's a lot of money on the line. In Mayweather's case, there's millions of dollars in future fights. Don't be a fool. Open your eyes. Think critically. Boxing is not a pure sport. I like Maidana. He's a real fighter. People call him names like flat footed and whatever. But make no mistake about it he's a real fighter. You have to be special to become a legitimate two-time world champion in two different weight classes with the kind of style that Chino has. Boxing is WWE... They have unproven hypejobs that they try to force feed to the public, e.g. Canelo, Broner. I like Maidana because he made his own path by thoroughly beating hypejobs. The promoters never wanted Maidana because he doesn't have a next-level fanbase. Maidana legitimately earned everything he's got. Are you new to boxing or something? You sound like a stupid WWE fan or something. Is it that hard to believe that Floyd is that much better than all the people he faced? Why is that so far fetched. Floyd has been dominating fighters his whole career. Are you saying even his earlier fights were fixed? Before he even became a valuable "investment" as you put it. If you are correct, then it makes sense that he started fixing fights post-De La Hoya because that's when he started generating PPV numbers. But if that was the case, then why did he dominate De La Hoya, Judah, Corrales-all arguably more skilled than any fighter you claim threw their fight with floyd? Pull your head out of your ass man.

Maidana needs to use voodoo to have a chance of beating Mayweather.

If boxing is fixed, why keep supporting it? . You're acting as if everything is in absolutes. You have a black-and-white mentality, totally ignoring the gray area.

In the hopes that Maidana "breaks his 'take a dive' agreement" and beats Floyd, to show the world that even in a fixed match some boxers can be dissenters? Why not stick to watching the WWE and WWF instead? . I like Maidana. He's a real fighter. People call him names like flat footed and whatever. But make no mistake about it he's a real fighter.

Every sport is fixed. Don't be shocked at the possibility of boxing being fixed. :*******: This guy gets it. Congratulations for not following the herd or going along with the hivemind. This is silly. Maidana has too much honor and pride to do all that. He's coming to fight! Why don't you think Robert Guerrero has fought yet? He got a cut of the Mayweather-Canelo pie; that's why. Free money for playing ball. However... I hope you are right, but I will be watching Mayweather-Maidana with an eyebrow raised. I know what El Chino is capable of, and if I see anything less I know he took the money. Hopefully as Maidana is in the ring with Mayweather he thinks, "You know what? I have enough money. F*ck this." Then throws an overhand right on Mayweather's chin. It would be beautiful. ...but there's some ugliness in this sport. Fixed fights are real. Trying to pretend they don't exist is ignorant and foolish.

You think there's "evidence?" Aren't you taking into consideration that the powers-that-be are very good at covering their tracks? The "evidence" is using your brain -- putting two and two together. As long as Mayweather is undefeated, Showtime has to cough up a pretty penny ... You see, Mayweather has a guaranteed minimum of millions and millions, so long as he has his zero. It's called a guaranteed purse. Plus he's getting pay-per-view dollars. Doesn't it make sense to give Maidana an extra chunk of change to go in sparring mode instead of going full blast? Yes, it does. And for anyone saying that Maidana has more financial incentive to win -- because he would make more money in future fights -- is not taking into consideration that Maidana will get a percentage of Mayweather's future purses if he plays ball! That's free money! He doesn't have to even fight to get some of that dough! Boxing is the prostitute of sports, my friend. It's pro wrestling with boxing gloves. Their mentality is, "Fool the public. Pull the wool over their eyes. Milk 'em for as much as we can. Let's keep this money train going." Maidana is no fool. He wants a piece of the pie, and he is certainly entitled to some as long as everything goes according to plan. The man has been boxing since 2004, and he has a brutal style that takes its toll. Now is his time to cash out. He's got a ticket to the Mayweather/Al Haymon money train! http://i.imgur.com/1IDxP5Q.png If boxing is fixed, why keep supporting it? Heck, why even comment in boxing forums if it's fixed all the way through? Makes no sense to be wasting time watching it if "the fix is in". In fact, if it's fixed why have a pic of Maidana in your avi? In the hopes that Maidana "breaks his 'take a dive' agreement" and beats Floyd, to show the world that even in a fixed match some boxers can be dissenters? Why not stick to watching the WWE and WWF instead? .

I think Chino should make it a fight, not a sparring match. Keep things always hostile towards his rival. He shouldnt bathe in dirt but kick up a little dust sure.

And when Floyd returns the favor, I don't to any whining from you fanboys (the Ortiz match). maidana isn't ortiz, he aint apologizing or kissing.

He doesn't need to solely rely on them but definitely incorporate them into his strategy. Mayweather doesn't like rough fights, he gets uncomfortable.
