Marcos Maidana is one of the few fighters to have faced Floyd Mayweather and given him problems. There were a lot of factors involved in making this a tough fight, not least Mayweather's choice of tactics, but beyond that Marcos Maidana showed us two main things that are surely necessities if Floyd Mayweather is to be troubled in the ring. I explore those in this video.
Thoughts?
Floyd backed up to the ropes. In the middle of the ring it was evident that Maidana was the least successful.
Maidana did show a good jab tru-out the fight and lowers his head and throw high punches.
Maidana ability to set up punches, use the jab, and his defense and foots peed are criminally underrated on nsb.

Decent analysis, actually didn't realise how many jabs maidana was throwing
I think Floyd adapted well to him towards the end, I reckon Floyd was going for the body shot ko from the start. In a rematch he'll fight with a lot more movement, hope they do rematch
