Floyd doesn't fight dudes unless he has a physical advantage over them. If he doesn't have one already, he'll create one. Doesn't mean he needs one which is why there will always be a shadow of doubt over his career and he will never be on the level of the so called greats. He could have been but he threw himself under the bus.
What physical restrictions did he place on Cotto? Guerrero came into the fight bigger than him as well.
from a business standpoint the floyd vs manny fight should NEVER happen until they both agree its their last career fight. they love bringing each other names up to promote their upcoming fight, after its done, thats it, no more debates , no more suspense.. what floyd is doing here is business minded as well, he's cooking up fake beef with khan and maidana to get fans familiar with those names months away from may 3rd to prevent the bad PPV numbers of the guerrero fight in which he took a step away from trash talk and antics, hes now back to his ''money'' alter ego of being a ****y villain, floyd is a damn smart business man, word travels fast on social media, casual fans will be speaking maidanas name in no time.
stylistically khan presents more trouble
but if you ask who ''earned'' this big payday, its maidana.
mayweather vs khan = floyd by tko round 8
mayweather vs maidana = floyd by u.d. reminiscent of mayweather - baldomir.
khan has the speed, but will be outclassed by more experience.
maidana has the power, but will be made dizzy trying to catch floyd, too slow.
may 3rd = 46-0
I stopped reading here, walked away shaking my head, and a single tear dropped from my eye.
Are we trying to hype up a maidens fight? I'm all for him getting the fight, but let's not pretend he'll win. I'm only interested because the Lara fight won't happen
They're doing the promotion for Mayweather.
"They always build someone up to beat Floyd Mayweather. Every year, before every fight, they build someone up and then I knock them back"
Yeah I would imagine after all the dust settles it will be Khan... which will be a fun fight to watch just for Khan's speed. But I would soon then like to see Maidana vs Floydie.
LANCE will Wisely AVOID Marcos, now and in Sept....
Our Hero, must Protect the 0, and His health First A$$!!!
Both fights are garbage. Maidana is the easier sell since Broner got his ass whooped and now they have a story. IMO Khan for as bleh as he is, is the tougher stylistic match and I'm tired of seeing Mayweather fight all of these come-forward, flat-footed types.
alvarez, guerrero, cotto, ortiz, mosley, marquez wait which one is the flat-footed brawler? floyd hasn't fought a physical, high pressure style since 2007. all the guys above actually tried to box with floyd and failed miserably.
You're a real butt smoochin' idiot if you think for a second Floyd Junior ranks WITH or AHEAD of legends, Hagler, Leonard, Hearns and Duran.... you're a rea idiot. First of all, Floyd would have been quite short on courage to get in the ring with ANY of them... hell he made Cotto and Mosley wait more than 10 years to and to this day, still won't fight Pacquiao. Floyd wouldn't have fought Arguello or Pryor!!!!!! He wouldn't fight Chavez Sr in his prime.... your boy Junior has no ballz. SKILLS???? He's not been tested by the games best in THEIR prime!!! You have no idea what you're talking about.
so true ^^^^^^ he can be the richest fighter, i gave that to floyd but he can never be anywhere the top ten ATGs simply because, as future boxing fans will call it, of him lacking ballz.
