    Its Floyd cowardly clinching a lot that i'm worried about but Maidana did fight out of them a lot better vs Broner unlike when he wasn't even trying vs Devon after a few times he clinched.

      Maidana won't let himself get clinched up, he will bully Floyd and out muscle him.
      but but he did get clinched and frustrated against Devon Alexander. Now imagine it's against Floyd?

        Not a chance in hell. That's why he needs to go for broke and hit whatever he can get his gloves on (body, elbows, chest, hips, etc). Let's go Chino!

          Yeah but in all fariness Maidana is going to be a lot stronger Saturday night than he was for the Alexander fight. Not saying he's going to win but he will definitely be in the best shape of his career.

            Yes but in fairness, Floyd is better than Devon. Floyd will not only hold, he will, elbow, move, sucker punch, counter, pot shot, ........

            So Maidana would have to do more than just be "stronger".

                It doesn't matter. As long as he does what he wants to do and doesn't worry about thinking of Floyd is doing he will make it at least competitive and interesting.

                Khan teed off on him for 3 rds and it never even showed on his face, and he just kept coming and adjusted his timing.

                Floyds going to land. Everyone should know this already.

                  No.


                  Like I keep saying after the first 45 seconds the speed gap will be the elephant in the room and thats when everyone cheering for Maidana will realize that he has zero chance.


                  If you think Maidana will make this rough or even semi competitive like Cotto did then YDKSAB and you are delusional. Maidana inst half as talented as Cotto as a fighter.

                    Mayweather will be the stronger fighter in the ring May 3rd. I don't think Chino's corner is prepared for that.

                      They are, and they know it, but Floyd's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. What do they really have to lose?
