Just rewatched the two Floyd fights....you can't say he ain't give a shyt After Floyd those were brutal wars, fight one was more competitive but fight two they were throwing and landing critical blows, Floyd retired maidana in brutal wars...
Chino lost the weight and was supposed to fight Manny, haymon money was looking funny in the light at that point and chino rethought things

Maidana tried to win
Fight 1 I scored 4 to 5 rounds for him
fight 2 I scored 3 to 4 rounds for him
He was tough and made Floyd work. Only time I seen Floyd complain to the ref about an opponent being dirty

Chino shouldve been dq the first fight like 4 times over if floyd defense wasnt on point for those subtle overhand rabbit elbow strikes combos he was throwing early could have koed n possibly critically damaging him...Chino the dirtiest player in the game and a A level prime on the low with my boxing eye
Floyd on the low had trouble with guys that's short that bob weave and get low, that stops his ability to duck and get low negating a big portion of his defense and forcing him to fight tall and long....sans, chino, cotto, hatton, and Manny
Maidana 1 was the first time I thought Floyd looked old/beatable. He was still technically supreme but the reflexes and feet looked slower.
Weight bro...he blasted canelo out moved done, and had the soft old man body and high trunks there after....he hung around welter for Manny but it was clear he was cutting substantial weight to make 147 then hence him needing IVs for the Manny fight
Floyd let his hands go more at 154 sans cotto and canelo jumping back down with weight cutting vs smaller faster fighters he realized his handspeed/foot speed was depleted vs younger fresher guys and implored holding to impose his size and weight on those welters
