He was hurt far worse against Mosley and clinched his way back to puttin a whoopin on him, no different here.
Floyd put a whoopin on Shane... this is true, but best you can ever say vs Maidana is he outscored him, he actually ran the 12th pretty scared of Chino.
It was a GREAT FLUSH SHOT no doubt! He was still hurt that next round actually, Maidana did some damage on his a bit that round but Mayweather is very clever and and calm and knows how to get out of trouble
So who knows what would have happened if that punch landed earlier in the round, I think he would have found a way to survive just like the Mosley fight and the fact that Maidana is not that fast also probably would have allowed him to survive by default
Floyd definitely wouldve. Again, Chino landed the exact same shot at the end of there 1st fight. I believe it was round 10 and Floyd was hurt even worse that time but there was more time left and he still kept fighting like it was nothing. His chin is underrated. Chino wouldnt have stopped him or even come close
Floyd would've used what ever tactic he needed to survive. I think for the most part he would've done exactly what he did in the 4th round which is stay on the ropes and use his defensive skills. He would've also grabbed when necessary. I definitely think he would've made it out of the round but there would've been a lot of tense moments. That was a huge punch and Floyd was visibly shaken.
