Comments Thread For: Marcos Maidana: Broner is Stronger Than Mayweather

[jbpanama]

Floyd was a better fighter back then. He had all. The technical skills back then that. He has now. Plus, he had the footspeed and moved a lot more back then. When virtually made him unhittable. Plus, he would open up with lightening quick 4-5 punch combos instead of being content pot-shoting with one or two punches. He'll never do to anybody again what he did to Gatti.

True Story, King...This Maidana Affair,
will be the First Real Challenge Our Hero, has Had In a Long Time!!!

Broner must have a terrible diet. The dude has a fat, bloated face like he's eating stuff that's triggering allergies.

You can tell alot about a fighter by looking at their father. Broners father is about 5'4 or 5'5 and somewhere around 220 pounds which explains Broners weight fluctuations he will probably be a 154 fighter by 30 he's a very husky little guy

We see how that rope plan played out for Oscar.

Broner is no different from dozens of fighters in history that once they became "stars" or "celerbrities", couldn't stay in shape between fights. AB grew up lower middle or middle class. He's not what you would consider traditionally handsome. So when you suddenly go from you and your homeboys pooling your money together to get a dime sack of weed and a bottle of Maddog and trying to pull a couple 5s. To AB who can go in the club and toss 5 racks in the air and leave with multiple bad b1tches. Waking up at five in the morning to go run and hitting the gym for a couple hours a day when you don't have a fight scheduled becomes chore.

I sat damn near ringside at the Broner-Escobedo fight and AB's dad was close by talking to some guys in the crowd he knew. He's taller than 5'5 and he probably eats 220lbs. He's about 5'7-5'8 and my guess is he's closer to 400lbs than 300lbs.

You didn't hear. Its 2014. We shoot back at the boyz in the white sheets nowadays.

Eh...not really. Canelo was too tight in that bout, and was afraid to let his hands go well before he started falling behind. He had too much respect for Floyd from the first bell and it limited what he wanted to do (mentally). It certainly wasn't the same Canelo we saw in his next fight.

He not only didn't try "everything", as you put it, he was timid to try anything for more than a few seconds.

That's how Floyd dictates though: he lands enough counters - usually just single punches - and makes his opponents miss enough that they feel discouraged or even embarrassed. After about 4-5 rounds of this, he's in complete control.

Cotto is about the only fighter in recent memory who hit Floyd flush, a lot, and didn't deviate from his game plan. That was a washed up Cotto too, which makes me wonder how it would have gone had Floyd manned up and actually fought a prime version (when people were calling for it). Don't even get me started on ducking Pacquiao 4 times.

Mike Tyson spoke of how difficult it would be to fight Mayweather, because it's so hard to hit him, and he gets pleasure out of discouraging his opponents. The best bet is to hit anything: arms, elbows, chest, ribs. Fight dirty, and take him off his rhythm. There just isn't a fighter available right now who presents that challenge to Mayweather. Margarito in his prime, when he was cheating, could have. Pacquiao would have cut him up, win or lose.

Back on topic: Maidana may be right about pure strength. He's going to look like every other opponent, however, as Mayweather hand-selects these guys just for that reason.

That's what happens when you fight two opponents on different levels. What Canelo did against Angulo wouldn't work against Mayweather and your comparison between the two fights is ridiculous. That doesn't mean Canelo was "tight" or "didn't try" against Mayweather. That's a ridiculous perception and sounds like an excuse more than anything else. The reality is when a fighter steps up in competition, it gets tougher. That's a simple concept that seems to go over some peoples head.

A fighters punch output will drop when they are missing and getting countered. That should be pretty obvious if you've followed boxing.

nice attitude by Maidana but I cant see him having the kind of success a 154 Cotto had

[FerFAL]

If Maidana does manage to KO FLoyd 99% of boxingscene will have to crawl under a rock for the rest of their natural lives. What a bunch of crybaby fanboys!
Calm the *** down alreday, he said he belives Broner is stronger, he even stated that he knows Floyd is more talented and was just talking about raw strenght and he just might be right. Here ya go babies
