Comments Thread For: Mayweather Explains Maidana Pick, Expects Difficult Fight

[The Tase]

as a renowned floyd hater on this site,

im actually perfectly fine with this fight. Its certainly better and more credible than the Khan fight.

Mark my words, Maidana will stun and hurt floyd at least once in this fight. Maidana has momentum and supreme confidence after beating a much hyped up fighter.

That was basically a sparring session for Maidana preparing him for floyd since Broner employs a generic version.

I think you need to take some of that medicine that you are prescribing unto others.

- Khan was and still is not deserving of the fight. CHECK!
- Maidana beat a guy who a little over a year ago moved up from 130 to 135. Not a true WW. Also Broner was exposed and troubled by Paulie in his only other fight at WW. So, Maidana's last opponent was OVERHYPED at WW. CHECK!
- Maidana lost to Khan, Alexander and had trouble with Morales. CHECK!
- Maidana didn't beat anyone close to Floyd's level at WW or any weight. CHECK!
- Maidana is another flat-footed pressure fighter who we have seen being stifled by decent boxers. So this is another Guerrero type opponent. CHECK!

All we are saying that Maidana's odds are very low at beating Mayweather.


Last point. It's NOT hating. It's being objective about the odds and chances of Maidana. A while back Floyd said that there was no way that either Maidana or Khan has any chance. Is Floyd hating Floyd?
Look, at this point in time, the odds makers have Floyd the heavy favorite. Do you think that they are Floyd haters? No, they are just thinking about making money.

Mayweather vs Maidana: Floyd as high as a 14-to-1 favorite for May 3!

Other than Broner what exactly has Maidana accomplished to be considered "solid" ?

Floyd said this about Broner BEFORE the Maidana fight and said similarly after .... "Broner has a lot to learn"

"Broner's a great young guy. He has a lot to learn. He has a lot to learn, but he's a great young kid. I'm a veteran. I've been around the sport 17 years, dominating." - Floyd

[Bombs Away!]

Against Mayweather he would throw less than what Canelo Alvarez threw.

Wrong!

You underestimated Maidana! Shame on you.
