Of course Speed scares Floyd. His 1-2, clinch, spin, push via elbow on the throat, 1-2, retreat and same sequence again boring style won't work with fast opponents. I won't say Amir wins but it will be a good points fight with Any of the two possibly knocking out the other. Amir - chin problem, Floyd - great chin but amir has good power.
Provo is big with power and strength. Thanks to the maidana fight roach now knows that roughing Floyd up, demolishing his elbow push cheat and pushing him into the ropes kills him. Lots of kidney, shoulder and head shots with Floyd's guard up will be seen in this fight. Provo by knockout, early rounds of a very fulfilling shut out of mayweather.:fingersx:
Footwork and speed will win it for PAC. Floyd gets hit with tons of awkward punches after 12 rounds. There can be a lot of stupid references in terms of comparing similar opponents of the two and how they handled them but if we make those none sense references PAC still gets the nod with ODH, Hatton, cotto against only Marquez that will go as a Floyd positive.
Floyd has always fought like an amateur. Tonight it was more evident. It was more like Argentina vs USA in an Olympic fight where Maidana fought like a pro and Floyd the way he did looking for points to score in every hit.
Floyd fought like an amateur Olympic boxer IMO. Darts punches for points but I feel it was not enough to have that much a margin on the scorecards against maidana. PAC beats Floyd to a pulp. Style makes fights and Pacs style makes a fight with Floyd exciting if your a PAC fan coz Floyd WILL GET BUSTED UP. Pacs footwork, angles, speed will be too much for Floyd.
The Bradley that fought Manny in their second outing beats Floyd IMO. Bradley's gonna be hard to ELBOW mayweather style. Bradley won't have any of that and would ouch Floyd to the ropes jab then wing that wild overhand right in succession until it hits Floyd silly. Haha:fingersx:
Maidana gets beaten to a pulp or beaten to submission by PAC. Maidana-rios could be entertaining. Provo coached by Garcia clobbers mayweather to kingdom come. Bradley vs May would be a toss up. PAC beats may on points. Mays elbow cheat won't work on PAC. Shoulder roll would look stupid vs PAC too. Blahblahblahblah coz the fight between PAC and mayweather won't happen anyway. Coz May will duck PAC until he retires.
Manny would make maidana look like a puffer fish if they fought. He's a shorter Margarito IMO. Look Floyd is a good boxer but it's obvious that he looked old in the Maidana fight. I mean c'mon, Alexander looked a lot faster than him against Maidana. His usual Olympics style pot shotting second half of the fight won it for him. He punched to score points and not to hurt. He went his usual amateur style that bores most but he still got pushed around though. Mannys foot work will win it against mayweather IMO.
I suddenly have the urge to see this two fight each other, this could be one of the fights TR and GBP are cooking....
Rios is huge, who was maidana training for?
Great fight if it happens. We can see how similar they are trained by garcia. Actually Marga, Rios and Maidana have so much similarities. Only Donaire fights differently in that stable.

JMM was super strong when he knocked out PAC. His strength and conditioning did wonders for him in his camp vs PAC. When PAC got KD the first time in that find his facial expression says it all, he was surprised and I'm pretty sure PACs team were not ready for that kind of power from Marquez in that night. It was a great six rounds though. After the first KD PAC got he was really bringing it. Messed up JMMs face until the perfectly timed right at the end of the 6th. I hope their next fight if it happens is as exciting.
Mayweather vs Khan is a great amateur looking fight. Strap them a couple of head gears and jerseys sporting their country's on their backs and it will just be like the Olympics with the possibility that khan KOs mayweather.
I really hate the roids thing everyone seems to be blabbing about. If it were "PEDS" or like crazy amounts of caffeine and HGH I would give it some thought but still won't assume that coz the weigh in and fight weight says it all. It's always a usual increase in fight weight from the weighin as far as PAC weighins are concerned. Nothing unusual like maidanas weight increase and Marquez sudden muscularity and power during the PAC-JMM4 fight. 6 week training camps, protein loading and super cardio regiment should also be considered. Convert the protein loaded to lean muscle in a certain amount of time through the right amount of cardio. A good coach finds the balance and weigh-in with lean muscle, the right vascularity and less water. I've seen Roid users when their not in camp. Their like bloated to 30-40 pounds over their fighting weight. It's like impossible for PAC if he were on roids to maintain a 10-15 pound over the fighting weight walking around congress and taping for his tv shows during off season. He doesn't have TIME. So seeing PAC not gaining tremendous weight during his off days makes me conclude he's not into roids. Overdose of caffeine for energy, cortico steroid asthma medicine clenbuterol to make those lung passages abnormally big to breathe better during training after Abnormal loading of protein to gain mass, maybe. But not likely coz he has always been as intense in his workouts even during the days that he could not afford a strength and conditioning coach and was eating peanuts, chicken and egg whites once in a while for protein. Now PAC can afford a coach and better food. Judging from his camp with fortune when they cut down on cardio by not doing their usual daily uphill runs that he used to do with Ariza obviously tells us that they have not been protein loading hence the soft look of PAC during weighin for the PAC-bradley2 fight. He had more water than quality muscles and had very little vascularity. That's what age does to you. Your in danger of muscle exhaustion that causes cramps when you push like you use to in camp. So they adjusted coz of Pacs input in terms of how he feels during fight night after what they did in camp. Hence the decision to go back to 140. No need for protein intake to gain muscle mass and weight to meet the 147 pound limit. If you were on roids? Mentally you'd feel like superman and won't complain about anything. Your fight weight increase would be 15 pounds + come fight night and a week after the fight you'd gain 10 to 15 more if you don't train like you use to during camp. ROIDs can only be used to cheat if you have a minimum of 3mos training camp. PEDS? I wouldn't know. Caffeine and clenbuterol? Anytime during training coz you burn it with the right amount of cardio and protein intake. Overloading in protein and cardio doesn't go well during camp? You become less vascular and you look puffy and in danger of being overweight. I'm a gym rat that's why I know a lot about this. I usually train with mma athletes and basketball players.:)
Sugar ray would make Floyd look like a VERY FAR bronze medalist to his gold medal worthy performance but will end Floyd via a knockout from punches on the ropes.
Probably coz if the "maidana pill on Ariza's hand" controversy during the broner fight and the Rios 9 month suspension coz of the diuretic Ariza made him take during the pacquiao fight. Other than the mentioned controversies I don't see any other reason
If he trains the way he trained for the PAC 2 fight he will have the power to stagger Floyd with one loaded shot IMO. But outbox Floyd? I can't see that. If he plays the rough housing slugger who sometimes boxes like how he was in his last fight and as long as he doesn't gas out again Bradley might win it if not then Floyd via a boring unanimous decision. Floyd doesn't have the power to stagger or knockout Bradley.
Yup, and not to mention it would be Robert Garcia against Roach all over again.
What are you talking about he should retire? he has the Pacquiao option which is an easy huge win and big money fight for him, he can beat Pacman easy att his stage of Pac's career.
Easy? LoL.. Maidana is the small version of Marga. Maidana will get beaten to a pulp by manny.
None. Have not seen PAC grow any abnormal muscle, tremendous power or speed at 147. PAC was faster, vascular and had mor definition muscle wise t 130-135. At 140-147 he retained more water. The only weight he was able to bring his lower weight power was at 140. The rest of his fights were won by repeatedly pounding his opponents losing a third of his speed from 130-135 but carried his stamina and work rate. Now a bit older a bit slower but nonetheless still too much for Floyd.
Only KO was Hatton at 140 and the rest was just pummeled out of submission. PAC was able to move right in the ring to stay away from power shots of opponents except for that one Marquez power shot he thought would never hurt him but after 4 fights with Marquez they suddenly had a KO effect on him. People here just don't wanna give credit to Pacs talent and roach's transformation of him. No monster power, size and speed difference from 130 to 147. No chest pimples, aggressive behavior, hair loss etc etc.. The only evidence that is being pushed was when PACs camp refused to be bullied by Floyd and all his demands. PAC worked himself to where he was at with blood, sweat and tears. Why would the equal respect that is due him should not be imposed? Money ain't everything. Sometimes pride carries more weight. PAC is coming from a life where he earned $2 a fight so what he was making then is enough for him to protect his honor and legacy by being firm. Live with it. Floyd was just shellin out one excuse after another. This should not surprise us coz he's still singing the same song after age has caught up with PAC right now. Even with the fact that PAC has lost a step or two it's obvious that Floyd is still scared as he ever was of PAC up to now.
