Maidana 1 was a much tougher fight for Floyd than Pacquaio. Much tougher and much much closer.

He beat him easily in first gear, wide on all 3 cards and 100% of press row media had him winning comfortably but you can live in an alternate reality if it makes you feel better.

He still walked through and did what he wanted, slug it out and fight maidana off him.... Mayweather wouldn't dare fight that fight with Manny...the one time Manny touch Floyd he felt it, he really ain't feel shyt his whole career....Manny was one of his toughest fights neither could land properly

Who did?

The Barrios fight was probably the last time he will ever look good at the world level.

He looks like crap in his last fight with that jarvis fella.
No head movement at all. He got timed and caught three times by that bum. Anyone with power like Vergil or Murtazaliev would've slept him that night.
It's gonna be a life and death for him with Tszyu.

He's just too small at 154...and because he's small, he tends to lunge in to land his punches, and we all know how in love he is with his nonexistent power. With the exception of fundora, most 154 fighters fight tall. They use their reach and range to effect.

Floyd didn't beat Manny easily Floyd ain't walk through Manny like he did maidana Mosley and canelo, he felt Manny power fought accordingly and could barely land clean...stop that easy talk

More like Pacquiao got nullified and didn't even try to pressure Mayweather unless he was on the ropes, and even then nothing real landed. Floyd is a counter puncher, he fought how he always fights, while Pac didn't fight like Pac.

Ok, and? Floyd fought Pacquaio 4 years prior when he was P4P #2 and beat him e.

Lol. Floyd ran and outclinched a shopworn Manny in a totally boring farce. There wouldn't have been a "fight" had Manny not pressed the action

The irony here is that Keith turned down the Ugas fight, probably because he wanted a bigger opportunity, so it went to Barrios.

Barrios is now getting the freakin Pacquiao fight.

if Keith had just taken the fight with Ugas….. but thems the breaks: no risk it, no biscuit.
