To Floyd skeptics

Even though I'm not really a skeptic (I think FMJ is OOTBE one of the best ever defensively) I don't rate his toughness. This was not really a dog fight at all compared to some and I wasn't impressesed with how he handled a very average cut ( complaining he couldn't see for 2 rounds ) and excessive holding ( including ropes ). Compared to Marciano's split nose,Gatti v Ward and countless others his toughness is not that impressive although his skills are.

We've always known Floyd was tough, he rematched Castillo after the first fight, the way he was walking Mosley down at the end of the same round he was hurt in and how he stood in front of Canelo all night. I might be alone but I was surprised at how poorly he was dealing with the hard moments against Maidana, his constant complaints to the ref, his sheer panic at being cut, his excessive holding and his refusal to let go of the rope in the final round. The way he came back in the round after the cut is what Floyds toughness is about, how he was for the duration of the 12 rounds actually surprised me the other way, in that I thought Floyd would deal with these things better. Mayweather fans, it was a poor performance from Floyd and a good one from Maidana which is why it was a close fight. These threads are designed to find something positive to take from that fight, he didn't look great or even good no matter how you try to spin it, just deal with it and move on.

Yeah now let me see him do that getting hit with Chino's gloves of choice or Cleto Reyes and not the pillows he paid 6 figures for.

They sparring gloves doe? That's really how you talk? Why you mad doe

I was really surprised in how Floyd aged over night :)

I'd rather move on and see Mayweather vs Khan or Thurman.

i believe so too, sparring gloves made a lot of difference. but i still scored it 8 - 4 maidana

for those that don't like Floyd and feel chino beat him and the gloves were the reason chino lost, I'm sorry to tell you that Ariza does not agree with you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAxKZn2hj1U&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvVNJxACkcQ&feature=player_embedded so please stop with the chino beat Floyd and the if chino would have had on the MX gloves he would have beat Floyd. if chino's camp can concede they lost, why can't you? Exactly, I wrote in another post that Ariza was being unbiased in his assessment of the fight and gave him props for doing so, especially since he was a part of team maidana

He's tougher than Adrien Broner. I really thought Broner had a better chin and better toughness than Mayweather. Props to Mayweather, but I would like to see him take on Maidana without the sparring gloves. That was some bull ****. Jesus Christ they weren't sparring gloves look up the product review of the gloves

He's tougher than Adrien Broner. I really thought Broner had a better chin and better toughness than Mayweather. Props to Mayweather, but I would like to see him take on Maidana without the sparring gloves. That was some bull ****. yeah I remember before Maidana came along, a lot of people's perception was that Broner was stronger and tougher-although less skilled- version of Mayweather. turns out he's worse in that department too.

;14536550']They are 8oz gloves regardless if u cant ko sum1 with 8oz u wont ko them at all. Floyd can take punishment that's what we learned in that fight. Maybe so, but it also proved that he wants to have all advantages going in to the fight even against 12-1 odd opponent. He sure wants to protect that "0". And his health. :lol1:

Much like they were proven wrong after Floyd fought Cotto by saying Floyd was shot and finally ripe for the picking, and his legs were gone, and he's old, and his dad is ugly, and his head movement is not there, and he ain't got it no more, etc., they were proven wrong yet again after the Maidana fight but now its time to blame his success on Maidana not being allowed to use MMA gloves. Floyd continues to son those kids and rack up wins. They cant believe it. They're still shocked from last Saturday. . It helps when you take HGH and Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Nah it proved how Floyd is a cheating coward that's all.

they sparring gloves doe

No, I've never seen Floyd hurt to the body and don't think I ever will. No point hitting him in the ribs unless you're doing it to set up a head shot. He was taking shots to the side of the head with pillows so not exactly flush to the face so it wasn't as bad as you think.
