PRETTY BOY FLOYD was a BEAST! MONEY MAYWEATHER is a complete different fighter that is more worried about the business part of boxing instead of pleasing boxing fans with great fights.
Khan was whooping Garcia until he got caught. If u watch it Garcia actually got lucky with his left hook bucuz he wasn't even looking when through the punch.
Porter has done just as much as Guerrero, Ortiz and Maidana, but becuz he's not Latin Floyd won't give him a shot. Floyd uses the Latin fighters to sell his fights on Latin Hoidays.
When you get done in the last 3 years Khan has been floored 5 times in 3 fights one time against a old lightweight, While Maidana has got on to win a ww championship.... The person you need to be upset with is Khan, if he did not duck Alexander he could have had a chance to win the IBF title and he would have gotten the fight
I know a lot of people don't give Khan a chance vs Floyd, but a few things he brings into the ring are boxing skills, speed and good footwork. Unlike Hatton, Marquez, Ortiz, Cotto, Guerrero, Alvarez and now Maidana who were all slow and flat footed.
Floyd's head is always mentally right come fight night..
People hate on Floyd, but one thing that isn't debatable is that he is always 100% focused at the task in the ring... He is always in shape, always trains hard year round, and is always mentally focused on his fight.. It's the key to his longevity and success
I'm not questioning his dedication to the sport. I'm curious to see if the major breakup is heavy on his mind.
And about miss Jackson.... Floyd has millions and is willing to trick on the ladies... Replacing her when u live in Vegas, with Floyd's celebrity and money, it will take about 5 mins to replace her
Yes, he can buy another hoe, but obviously he loved her if he asked her to marry him. He can't buy love from a hoe.
Remember all of the complaining Floyd was doing about 24/7 at the end of the HBO run? He has control over what we see now, so we get a bunch of stuff about him hanging out with 10 women - the purpose of the whole thing is trying to make his ex jealous.
It just all seems real contrived whenever he tries to make it seem like he's sleeping with all these women. Aren't 90% of them on his payroll anyway?
At the end of the day, it was probably better when he didn't have as much creative control over what makes it onto these shows.
I agree with u 100%! Floyd is BUTT HURT becuz Ms. Jackson dumped him and Floyd has been begging for her to come back, but she won't. Floyd doesn't like the idea of her being here in LA and messing with Nelly now. He's not use to people turning him down and his lil feelings are hurt.
I think it's Keith Thurman. I am a huge Mayweather fan and never tabbed anyone to beat him, however, out of all the current boxers in the running for a Mayweather shot, I feel Keith has the best shot at taking his 0. He has good hand speed, incredible power, and good footwork. I doubt he can beat Mayweather if it goes to a decision, but Thurman has the skills to get to Mayweather and possibly hurt him.
People laugh at him, but Khan can give Floyd problems with his jab, speed and foot work.
All these gold diggers around him(and that is simply to make Ms Jackson mad) He seems more focused on trying to surround himself with woman, I just remember that being Tyson's downfall...maybe i just got the fight week jitters but i don't know if he is taking this fight serious enough...6 days to go
I've been saying this for awhile that Floyd is messed up in the head over Ms. Jackson dumping him, but some people don't want to believe me.
yes by technical decision 4th round. If the fight went on any longer, he would have lost. he got cut up bad.
I forgot the fight was in China. I thought the fight was going to air on Hbo tonight. Thanks for the info Bro!
Marcos tried to use illegal gloves so anything is possible,
TBE will be pushing for the results soon id imagine
The Nevada Boxing Commission approved a pr of gloves and Floyd still wouldn't allow Maidana to use them. Maidana was forced to use pillows for Floyd's safety.
The answer is quite simple if you have a brain on you, Maidana got extra pay for his "troubles".
I would have love to have seen Maidana call Floyd's bluff and call off the fight. If Maidana was paid off he shouldn't be complaining about the gloves issue after the fight.
Rematch will happen in September,will be a huge fight and the ppv#'s will the 1.5-1.8 million maybe more considering people will actually think this is the guy who will finally beat Floyd
If there is a rematch Floyd will put a bunch of BS demands in the contract. One being Maidana has to use pillow gloves.
I don't care if there is a rematch or not. I think Mayweather won 8-4 and I thought Chino looked like a dirty and sloppy fighter who hit Mayweather on the back waaay more often than he hit him in the face or stomach.
Floyd won. Time to move on to Pac, Khan, Thurman, and Porter to finish out his career.
I would like Floyd to fight Khan next, but that's out of the ? becuz of Khan's religion. If Maidiana's style is the key to beating Floyd he will stay away from Porter.
Several questions exist that were not addressed during that whole scene:
#1 - Was Garcia aware of the diminished padding in the gloves Maidana was originally going to wear (The one's rejected by the NSAC and Team TMT)
If he was then that is incredibly suspect -- any trainer that's been in the game for as long as he has should have noticed that there was a padding discrepancy right away without an outsider bringing it to his attention ......... Again extremely suspect!
This is a question that should have been asked of Garcia that night, by both the Commission and TMT.
And is the real reason Team Maidana, is raising hell about being allowed to use their magic gloves is because they've used thin gloves before in ignorance. Because here something that Garcia cannot get away from -- If he cannot tell that those gloves were thin in the knuckle on May 3rd, then he most likely allowed the use of thinned gloves before, because he doesn't know any better.
And that situation would demand that Garcia be thoroughly informed and trained about the proper thickness of Pro. boxing gloves going forward.
#2 - All this talk about allowing Maidana to wear his gloves of choice is a valid one -- But they must have the recommended amount of padding. He cannot have his special gloves with diminished padding and think that everyone should go along with that BS.
#3 - TMT has to learn to accept the decisions of the NSAC and also accept that just because TMT is the A-side, doesn't mean that they can control every aspect of the event. And it doesn't mean that they have the final say in all matters.
Now point\question number one, doesn't infer guilt, nor does it imply that Garcia knowingly and was willingly allowing the use of thinned gloves.
But it does suggest that if he doesn't know the difference, then now is the time to learn.
The gloves are mailed to the commission wrapped up straight from Everlast. Garcia didn't see the gloves until that night. No other camp that Maidana has fought has ever objected these gloves. Floyd knows the gloves were legal he just wanted Maidana to use pillow gloves so he wouldn't feel the punches as much.
I think Mayweather would make the proper adjustments and win clearer this time, so a rematch not happening wouldn't be too bad IMO. However, who else is there right now? Fights with Thurman/Porter need to marinate for next year. Rematch is most likely happening.
Porter has done just as much as Guerrero, Ortiz, and Maidana. If Porter was Latin Floyd would have fought him already or fight him next.
What were Ali,SRR,Sugar Ray Leonard,Greb,Armstrong,Joe Louis,Duran,Hearns,Hagler doing at 37??? they sure in hell were not winning titles and on top of the sport
But they all fought the best fighters in their era and never ducked each other because of a promoter.
Money Mayweather would DUCK Pretty Boy Floyd just like he does now with any fighter who has speed and footwork. Money Mayweather is very selective about his opponents unlike Pretty Boy Floyd who fought everyone.
A guy with a great jab, great inside game, equal or greater reach as Floyd, southpaw, fast hands, and a relentless pressure fighter.
So in summary, nobody out there right now!!!
Closest guy in recent memory that I thought Definitely had a GREAT shot was Paul Williams.
Floyd wanted no parts of Paul Williams or Margarito in their prime as welterweights. Both were tall fighters and would have given Floyd a lot of problems that is why Floyd stayed away from them.
Is Mayweather avoiding Khan? Plus Mayweather already has set dates for his fights. What do you think?
It wouldn't surprise me if Floyd offered Khan a fight in Sept knowing Khan cannot prepare for the fight properly becuz of his religion. Then Floyd will say he offered Khan a fight, but Khan turned it down.
But but the gloves were illegal doe. Its amazing how people don't try to understand facts before postulating theories and making their minds up. Its like the margarito handwrap scandal i can guarantee you that 98% off people still don't clearly understand the facts as they happened but yet they have strong opinions and are quick to brand him a cheater.
The commission approved the red gloves, but Floyd still complained.
LAS VEGAS --- Floyd Mayweather talked about how his fight against Marcos Maidana on Saturday night at the MGm Grand on Showtime PPV could be his final fight.
Mayweather, who will receive a $32 million purse on Saturday, is in the third fight of a six-fight contract with Showtime, but there are days when he ponders hanging up his gloves.

If Floyd retires he will be back because he will need the $ and miss the attention.
