      Safest tactic for floyd is to stay on his toes all night and not let maidana test his shell at all... easier said than done.
      Something I see a lot, and something that I will never be able to understand.

        Easier said than done... especially against Chino.

        Mayweather could do that in theory, but Maidana doesn't fight in theory.

          Too slow to close the distance, with not enough height and reach, to get in the pocket and loop a shot over Floyds shoulder.....

          Maidana clinch work and rabbit punching is childs play compared to Guerero's

            Add low blows and headbutts into the mix

              Floyd might get 'roughed' up in spots but still don't see Chino having any real success.

                I always loved Chino and even more after beating the walking coon, but h will get the brakes beat off of him vs Mayweather and possibly stopped

                  Maidana rocks Josesito Lopez so badly with a right hand he turns his back.


                  Maidana knocks down Victor Cayo with an awkward left hook to the side of the head.
                  These aren't rabbit punches they are hooks. Do you even know what a rabbit punch is?? red k worthy. And here I used to think punchr knew what he was talking about.

                    If you can't tell the difference between a hook in the pocket and or clinch, and a rabbit punch, you don't know boxing. Period.

                      I don't think so. Floyd is pretty crafty in the clinches too
