Do you expect Floyd Mayweather to give us a crowd pleasing fight on May 3?

[LoadedWraps]

Yes, Floyd will go toe to toe with Maidana in the center of the ring until one of them drops.

Basically this, well said. Green K.

He wouldnt if it was his choice... but he's fighting Maidana, people. Against a prime, motivated Maidana Floyd is going to have to dispose of all the mind trickery and sack up. I tend to lean towards what Loadedwraps is saying..Floyds mind games wont work on Chino's fortress of mentality and spirit...he wont gain the man's respect.. he will have to go to war with Chino to get that. If youve been watching all of Chino's training videos as I have... you would see Chino aint gonna cooperate with the majority of expectations. Theres been some sort of a mistake..He didnt get the memo. This man is training like a damn demon. And he isnt coming to **** around in May.

people always stress physical abilities.. but it cannot be stressed enough the mentality of a fighter. Name a fighter that Floyd has fought recently with the mentality of El Chino, and i will debate with you how their mentality is inferior compared to Chino's.. more ill equipped to face a master of mind trickery.The man is similar in fighting spirit to a prime Manny ****in Pacquiao...you cant get cute with this guy in his prime you just have to knock him the **** out or be knocked out your damn self....

I have a question for boxing fans. I was wondering since Mayweather hasn't given us a fan appreciation fight since his Ricky Hatton bout in 2007. Do you expect him to settle down more with combination punching by trading with Marcos Maidana or just simply outpointing him with movement, clinching and landing single counters and punches at a time? So I am just curious to know what do you all think? Will he fight or just box to an easy 12 round victory?

Floyd will throw 1 or 2 punches at a time to a UD decision.

[Public_Enemy]

This would depend mostly on Maidana. It is up to him to cut off the ring and force exchanges. Floyd will be content to fight at his pace and out point Maidana comfortably. Maidana will have to make Mayweather uncomfortable. If Floyd has to punch more in order to win rounds (and also gets trapped on the ropes often), we may be in for an action packed fight.

[Curtiz]

If Maidana can put pressure on like Hatton it might be entertaining, but if Maidana is slow-footed like Guerrero it will be boring.

You can't just choose to be fast footed or not.

He is going to be dominated because his foot speed isn't up there like it needs to be.

[Kuyukut]

please name one of fraud's fight in welter and jmw that is considered borderline crowd pleasing?

i'll wait...

[jqSide]

This fight will be similar to Hatton vs Floyd wherein Floyd runs and tries to survive. Floyd needs a ref like Cortez on this one.

[jqSide]

What's also interesting here is that Maidana won't be apologetic in headbutting Floyd like Ortiz was, so Floyd's sucker punching won't be a possibility here.

I feel I get my full money's worth when floyd goes the distance. I felt robbed when floyd koed Ortiz wish that fight lasted longer

It all really depends on Maidana. The more pressure Maidana places on Floyd the more crowd pleasing the fight will get because it will force Floyd to sit down on his shots to back him off.
