      He is a WW champion isnt he? When Maidana beat Broner wasnt the majority of this forum saying he would do the same to Mayweather and Floyd would duck him? They where saying he figured out "the shoulder roll" and do the same to Floyd....And thats who needs to fight floyd? I was on here listening to all that BS then he became a cherry pick, lol at least he has a belt

        Boxing is like baseball. There's a saying called chicks dig the long ball! Meaning the girls love home runs. In boxing, fans love the knockout. It is what it is. As for the fighters u mentioned..... Kovalev wants Stevenson but he's being a *****. GGG wants the best in his division but Sergio is fighting Cotto. And Lucas didn't get his ass kicked. Danny beat him but he didn't kick his ass the way Chino did Broner. That's kicking a mofo's ass.

          I know and you know that Floyd v Maidana is a horrible mismatch, you cant listen to what all the fanboys say and apply it to logic.

                    Because knockouts are exciting and hard to do, so when a guy comes along smashing everyone like Samuel peter, ggg, Tyson, kovolev, mayorga, etc people tend to pay attention more and be in awe.

                      The same reason you hyped up Broner. His style appealed to you, same way puncher's style appeals to the masses.
