Originally posted by Weebler I View PostCastillo was notably quicker, better pure boxer too plus he got dominated in the rematch and you have to imagine Floyd's ring IQ has improved since then. I genuinely don't see Maidana winning a round. Floyd isn't going to stand there not throwing while Maidana tees off on him, he's not going to stand there period.
Obviously anything can happen in sport, particularly boxing, but on paper at least I think it's very one-sided.
I think it was after but it was a retweet, it's obviously nothing conclusive.
All of this. It's about levels and Floyd is maybe 2-3 grades above Maidana as a fighter. He's above Khan too but if Khan had a chin, who knows where he'd be rated e.g. I don't think Garcia would have beaten him (my opinion).
On this i agree. Casillo actually boxed Mayweather and the key to his success was giving himself room and throwing in between Mayweather throwing his own punches and also trying to get off first.
That said Floyd will stand in front of Maidana and hold his ground in the later rounds an pour on the punishment. You can be sure of that. Floyd could make Midana back up from the very first round if he desired it, but he won't. He will stick that jab in his head and body, he will lead with his hook, he will pot shot and wear Maidana down, and when he sees Maidana is tired he will put his foot on the gas and become more aggressive.

Defiantly, Maidana is on fire right now, Khan is a joke but come september 15 you give khan time to get that comeback fight.
This is how it lines up
Maidana = Title holder, On Fire, Mexicans (largest fanbase) are behind him 100%
Khan = is a joke
Pacquiao = contender and he is really not on Mayweather radar at all.
I sure hope its Maidana Next, I will get up for that fight. Where as khan Ill probably go do something else then watching boxing and just catch teh download in the morning (or whenever i wake up).

Knowing this one can only hope that Floyd is not advising Bronner in a manner that first and foremost considers Floyd's advantages and not Bronner's.
While it does seem correct to advise Bronner to go down a weight class, its kind of funny that Floyd advises Bronner to fight undercard at that weight and that Floyd seems very eager to fight Maidana!
I think Floyd understands very well that he will look like a king badass fighting Maidana, a guy who can be avoided, tied up, and hit with precise one shot counters, as opposed to Kahn who has some real assets that will test Floyd.
What do you guys think
MODS THIS IS A THREAD ABOUT FLOYD NOT BRONNER!

Originally posted by check hook View PostTruthfully he probably is smiling. Khan poses many many many more problems for Floyd than a guy like Maidana. With Floyd in front of him Maidana is a late KO or corner stoppage waiting to happen.Khan poses more threats than Maidana? Let's get this guy home folks, he's obviously drunk.
