Comments Thread For: Mayweather Discusses The Punching Power of Maidana

[ox805er]

Haters enjoy overlooking how he's fighting much younger guys coming of big wins and hold title belts.

He's just too damn good.

.

Really? I guess some fans are more blinded then others.. I'm not a mayweather hater.. or fan.. I'm a boxing fan and there's a lot more credible opponents that they could of chose.. "big win" of chino's was vs overhyped job broner.. victor Ortiz and guerrero's were overhyped berta.. Cotto's was margarita and mayorga.. Let's not even bring up baldo and Judah and gatti and hatton and dlh and mosely.. please.. dude just stop! he's good.. he's gifted and give him credit.. but he dodged the biggest threats and sold fights on playing the villain part.. and delivers glorified sparring matches.. until the day he faces a real threat, I'm going to downplay his career so above average..

Maidana already decided that will win over Pacquiao! http://moevideo.net/video/57375.54d2...5b252fba2479e9

Listen to yourself.......

Listen to yourself. Tim Bradley is better than everyone Floyd has fought since signing this freak show contract with Showtime. The Ghost? Ortiz? The Canelo fight would've been a legacy fight but Floyd ruined it with the catchweight. So, Cotto is his most impressive win ever in my book. That was a good win for Floyd because Cotto did some things that Floyd had never seen before. That was the best fight Cotto ever fought. He dominated the 8th round against Floyd. That has never happened before. Hats off to him for digging deep and getting the victory. Other than that win, he's been playing with the sport and fans for YEARS. And by the way, Manny's win over Bradley, was simply amazing!

That's not WHY.

"He won't fight Bradley or Pacman because they're in top rank"

That is not correct, at all. He won't fight any live dogs, PERIOD. These fighters he's been fighting, are not as good as himself, and that's why he fights them. He's a bull****ter and us REAL fans know it. Then he gets mad when no one mentions him amongst the greats. He KNOWS why that is. He doesn't take risks. He doesn't fight fighters who have a chance to defeat him. He's insecure about his own talents and he's a control freak.

Only a Lucky Punch could end Floyd Undefeated and it won't happen on this fight

[sugarsmosley]

he should focus on his punching power, because thats about all he has

Cherry Picked

Maidana will never lay a hand on mayweather. Maidana is a safe fighter for Mayweather.

Floyd why you chose a guy like that (Victor Ortiz)?
Because he is a STRONG YOUNG LION and all his past opponents tested the canvas.....;and GROUPIES believed it.
I don't understand why the fans of JUNIOR are so ridicolous;THEY SAY FLOYD IS THE BEST EVER BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY SAY MAIDANA,ORTIZ,GUERRERO,CANELO ARE COMPETITIVE FIGHTS (before the fight obviously);THEY ARE SO SCARED OF A LOSS THAT THE BEST FIGHTER EVER (only for them) SUDDENLY BECOMES BEATABLE BY FIGHTERS LIKE THOSE!!! THE MOST FEARFUL FANS IN BOXING!!!

Chino gets KO this fight and has two point deductions taken away. His stamina won't hold up ,he's going to find out that Floyd can punch too.

I don't know how long you've been following boxing or even Floyd's career, but here are the facts. Not even going to mention Floyd's 10 year reign in the lighter weight division...

When Floyd was with Top Rank he was in Oscar's shadow, and wanted to face Oscar at his prime back then. Bob wasn't having it. Oscar was his rising star and cash cow, and risking him against Floyd didn't make good business sense to him. He knew having both Oscar and later Floyd as stars would bring in the dough.

Floyd wanted the big fights, Bob refused, so Floyd walked. Oscar left to do his own thing, Floyd pursued Oscar when Oscar was the Jr Welter champ at 154.

Oscar asked for ring size (smaller so Floyd doesn't have room to "run"), glove size, make, and model (to slow Floyd's hand speed down and make him pillow fisted), he over weighed Floyd by 10+lbs on fight night, was on a winning streak under Floyd Sr.'s tutelage, AND had Freddie Roach in his corner that night.

Oscar was the bigger man and had the bigger fan base.

History was made. Oscar lost and Floyd became the new cash cow.

Floyd went after Mosley and Cotto while in their primes and both had issues to deal with. Mosley had tooth problems. Cotto wasn't ready and relied on his promoter's decision regarding his next opponent.

Floyd later fought both Mosley (whom everyone was calling Floyd out to fight) and Cotto (154lb WBA Champ) when they were ranked.

It's not his fault they didn't want to face him back then. He did his thing and here he is today, the highest paid fighter in the sport.

What you and Floyd haters tip toe around is the fact that BEFORE Floyd fought Victor Ortiz and Guerrero, Cotto, Baldo, and Judah, and Gatti, and Hatton, and DLH, and, Mosely, Canelo you were all claiming they "would do this to Floyd and that to Floyd and Floyd was scared and he would get KO'd by so and so".

AFTER Floyd beats them with relative ease and lifts their title belts, it's "They were past prime, they were a cherry pick, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah...."

Floyd is still doing his thing and winning in record setting fights.
