Mayweather vs maidana

[Suckmedry]

Yeah,, khan impressed me a lot.. He beat up collazo and showed great power by getting a few knock downs... Nobody has ever beaten up collazo like that...

As for porter and Thurman..

I think porter is ready right now,, his style is high activity and pressure and I think he could be a nightmare for Floyd..

Thurman I think could fall into the same trap that ghost and canelo did, and get outfoxed in the middle of the ring.. He isn't a high pressure fighter and fights at a much more relaxed pace..

Would love to see fights with khan and porter before a Maidana rematch...

Thats very interesting about Porter, im gonna have to do some research on him. If he can punch then we might have a real fight on our hands...

Considering Mayweather has 3 fights left on his Showtime contract, he'll probably fight Khan next and then Thurman and possibly either Porter or some easier young fighter to go out on a win.

what i dont get about this thread is why we are judging floyd right now when hes clearly on the decline, thats like judging chavez on his loss to tszyu when his loss to whitaker told a more accurate story. i think at this point everything floyd accomplishes is a bonus because he is CLEARLY on the verge of getting old over night.

Khan has Ramadan so he won't fight in September

My guess is that it will be

Maidana 2 sept 2014

Khan in May 2015 if he doesn't lose again.. If he does lose again, replace him with Danny Garcia

Porter/Thurman in sept 2015... Too far out to project who will be the hot guy by then..


Dark horse long shots: canelo rematch, cotto rematch if he beats serg, manny

Yeah very true,,, you can't base his legacy on this fight... It would be like using the benetiz fight to represent Duran, or pernell vs hurtado,

Floyd prime that fought hatton would have had a much easier time with Maidana

Mayweather right now is still miles better than the pathetic version of JCC who fought Tszyu.

Next fight, i can really, really see it.

I noticed a difference in Floyd yesterday. Not just in the ring. The look in his eyes before the fight, when he went back after the first round and said something that sounded like im tired or im trying, and looked a little disheartened, ive never seen that in him before. It seemed to me like hes starting to feel his age, despite his work ethic, lifestyle, and technical abilties, he is after all a fighter whos physical style is based on speed and reactions, and 37 is not young for a fighter like that.

Porter doesn't have great skills but he is an honest fighter, that gets down to business when the bell rings... He will bring it. Think Tim Bradley with more power but not as well rounded or tested

[ShoulderRoll]

Porter likes to use his physicality and that is what worked against Mayweather last night. He could be a tough opponent but I hope be fights Thurman first.

had it 7-5 for floyd and think a draw would have been fine as I gave a few close rounds to floyd but felt the ones I gave to maidana were pretty clear. Gloves could have made all the difference. Floyd looked pretty battered by the end ... and that was with pillows. Maidana looked like he'd been for a stroll in the park. And agree with OP ... no way floyd beats any of the fab four or chavez for that matter.

If maidana gets to use his gloves and the odds are good I'll be putting money on him in the rematch.
