If you havent been watching mayweather his last few fights, or really since the de la hoya fight you would say something like this. Mayweather since age 30 has basically been standing and using minimal movement and laying against the ropes lately. the strategy of constant movement and uusing his legs to create opportunities has basically been removed in alot of ways.
What does happen is fighters tend to watch his every move and sort of cut down their own punch output. Maidanas best chance against floyd is now, what little chance he does have lies in the fact that at 37 his legs can get old over night and that maidana has shown that he can break a stationary defense in practice, AND I SAY PRACTICE.
Floyd does more than the shoulder roll, he gives several unique looks every few rounds.
Also, i thought this fight would satisfy the people on here saying that "floyd saw himself in the broner loss and would duck maidana"
nobody wanted the kahn fight, but now nobody wants this fight? knowing bradley and pacquiao are tied up and are in a promotional war regardless, you guys just pull opponents out of your ass. Thurman/Lara etc. while those are decent fights, what credit would he get for those, especially if it was a chess match? the same credit he gets for beating hatton/canelo etc people he supposedly ducked. at least with maidana there is no issue as to his credbility and visibility. its not the greatest fight but its viable for the time being made and would earn him a belt should he win.
