Or it's been this way but wasn't exploited due to floyd's adamant of fighting primes and elites over the years.
Really there's nothing mayweather can do as long as maidana is on attack mode, he does nothing but wait for the man to tire/fatigue out; and because maidana is merely a class B fighter; --he surely did get tired after round 5 and opportunity for floyd to box him finally came.
I mean I am very disappointed with floyd for a boxer that was supposedly the best in our generation "he was merely made a child's toy by maidana". It is only when maidana got tired of playing(attacking) with his toy(floyd) that mayweather was able to do his thing after round 5. But of course stamina is not maidana's cream of the crop so floyd had narrowly escaped this embarrassment. Even then, floyd should have done more, devon alexander a merely class B had done more than floyd.
The key is to make it ugly and bully him, but there aren't that many fighters who can use that style and Manny certainly isn't one of them. I remember one of Larry Merchant's quotes from the Hatton fight. "Floyd want a pretty boy fight, and Hatton want a brawling fight. It's an ugly."
any decent fighter who applies pressure will make floyd uncomfortable and make it ugly... victor ortiz did this also... but after about 4 or 5 rounds floyd figures it out and wins so i say no to your question
Did Maidana put Floyd to sleep? Did Maidana beat Floyd 4 times? Is Floyd still trying to figure Maidana out after 5 fights?
To answer your question, no
The closest are guys like Castillo, Cotto, Oscar, Maidana, Hatton, etc, who applied rugged infighting pressure and out-muscled him on the inside. Outside of Hatton, even though those guys used their size to bullied him on the inside, they weren't able to dropped him on his ass though.
No.
Because with Pacquiao-Marquez, Pac still hasn't figured out Marquez after 4 fights.
Pac only won the first fight because of the KD's. The 2nd fight could have gone either way. The 3rd fight was a draw IMO. Then he got KO'd.
Floyd won 6 of the last 7 rounds. He figured out Maidana after 5 rounds.
No he never
He got gift after losing 8 rounds
Manny figured out JMM in the 4th fight, and had him finished, but you know the rest. Combination counter punchers give Manny hell.
The Marcos Maidana's of the world give Floyd hell. Imagine if Maidana had elite level stamina.
