Can Maidana handle Floyd's speed?

Mayweather will be the stronger fighter in the ring May 3rd. I don't think Chino's corner is prepared for that. I think it will be the other way around actually.

Yeah but in all fariness Maidana is going to be a lot stronger Saturday night than he was for the Alexander fight. Not saying he's going to win but he will definitely be in the best shape of his career. Mayweather will be the stronger fighter in the ring May 3rd.

No. Like I keep saying after the first 45 seconds the speed gap will be the elephant in the room and thats when everyone cheering for Maidana will realize that he has zero chance. If you think Maidana will make this rough or even semi competitive like Cotto did then YDKSAB and you are delusional. Maidana inst half as talented as Cotto as a fighter.

It doesn't matter. As long as he does what he wants to do and doesn't worry about thinking of Floyd is doing he will make it at least competitive and interesting. Khan teed off on him for 3 rds and it never even showed on his face, and he just kept coming and adjusted his timing. Floyds going to land. Everyone should know this already.

Maidana will go Ironman on his ass. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdca81RmnH1rw29eto1_500.gif

Floyd will not only hold, he will, elbow, move, sucker punch, counter, pot shot, ........ So Maidana would have to do more than just be "stronger".

lol @ ghosts monster in fighting, he is overrated, didn't deserve the fight, and didn't have a chance coming in. Maidana won't let himself get clinched up, he will bully Floyd and out muscle him. but but he did get clinched and frustrated against Devon Alexander. Now imagine it's against Floyd?

Its Floyd cowardly clinching a lot that i'm worried about but Maidana did fight out of them a lot better vs Broner unlike when he wasn't even trying vs Devon after a few times he clinched.

Yes, Floyd doesn't punch in combination or jump in and out. Speed won't undo Maidana, Floyd's measured approach will. Thinking man's game.

Depends what it's mixed with.

Nah. He'll get clinched up on the inside. You'll see. The few shots Maidana will get off, won't hit the mark. He'll get clinched, separated, and pot shotted all night. Well cutting off a ring includes keeping distance to throw punches without getting clinched.

lastly, the most important thing Chino's team needs to accomplish is getting the ref on board to watch Floyd's use of the elbows...he's gonna apply pressure and if Floyd can't clinch, those elbows and forearms will be on Chino's neck and face...they need to make sure the ref doesn't allow that Refs will let it happen anyways. Only ref I'd trust is Kenny Bayless, and they're damn sure not using him.

lol @ ghosts monster in fighting, he is overrated, didn't deserve the fight, and didn't have a chance coming in. Maidana won't let himself get clinched up, he will bully Floyd and out muscle him. I wasn't implying Ghost had a monster in fighting game. I quoted it to tell you how people thought that was gonna cause Floyd problems. Just like with Maidana. You will see my friend. Clinch, clinch, and more clinch, all while being pot shotted.

He can't even handle shot Morales' speed. hehe...

He will get clinched on the inside, and his arms will have absolutely no room to move. Notice how Guerrero's "MONSTER" in fighting got nullified with Floyd's clinching? Same story. lol @ ghosts monster in fighting, he is overrated, didn't deserve the fight, and didn't have a chance coming in. Maidana won't let himself get clinched up, he will bully Floyd and out muscle him.

He will slip shots on the inside and attack Floyds body relentlessly as he drives him backwards. do you really believe this? I can't see it happening that way

It's all going to depend on how well Chino can cut off the ring IMO. Nah. He'll get clinched up on the inside. You'll see. The few shots Maidana will get off, won't hit the mark. He'll get clinched, separated, and pot shotted all night.

you dont need to ask me next saturday...imma tell you now that he wont be able to handle Floyd's handspeed or footwork for that matter while we're at it, let's throw in ringsmarts as well It's all going to depend on how well Chino can cut off the ring IMO.
