Comments Thread For: Mayweather Discusses The Punching Power of Maidana

[kingfaze19]

I don't believe I ever said I wasn't happy or didn't like this fight.. I just think it's a total mismatch.. and people will buy cause of what maidana did to wannabe Mayweather...

I like how you just discredited some of Floyd's past opponents by saying an 11-1 dog is better than them, just cause they faced pac.. pls!!

And you act like he doesn't have a 6 fight deal.. why did Kahn forget about alexander or whoever when his name was mentioned.. why can't he name his opponent or send offers before they're lined up to face others.. you act like ones this sparring match (and if Kahn beats collazo, cause I doubt he'll face collazo due to the lack of fanbase) he's not going to name an opponent until they're all once again lined up to face others.. and if Kahn somehow or does get a stoppage.. it's almost 100% lock its him in September..

some people will just believe everything Floyd will say.. and preach it as the truth!

you didn't answer my question. outside of Bob Arum's stable of in-house fighting ******, who could Floyd fight that people will be pleased with?

Thurman and Porter are both unproven and you will clown on those fights too. Khan beat Judah more impressively than Floyd and has a win vs Maidana, has explosive speed and reach, but you will clown that too. Martinez is a damn middleweight, and even if that fight can happen, Floyd will get clowned for picking on a fighter with so many injuries. so please tell me outside of Arum's fighters who could he face that will make people happy.

and like i said Maidana is more dangerous than pillow fisted Bradley. you calling this a ''total mismatch'' means nothing because any damn fight Floyd is in will be a total mismatch, even Pacquiao. either people call it a mismatch before or after the bout. Canelo was supposed to be the one to beat him, but afterwards Canelo is a bum who Floyd ''cherry picked".

Who started it and made up the drug test excuse? Floyd. Who called Floyd's drug test bluff? Manny. Who came up with the Arum excuse years later? Floyd. Keep being brainwashed by Haymon's wisdom. Now go in line and thank Al, but make sure to stick to the script and thank his god first.

why is asking for drug testing an ''excuse'' when Floyd asks for it, but when Pacquiao years later wants to do it to his opponents it's not?? you mean to tell me that just because a fighter wants to know you're clean that he is making an excuse to not fight you? you kidding me. so the biggest fight in boxing history never happened because a guy refused to give some blood randomly because of fear of needles/religious beliefs, etc...and you're blaming the guy who asks for the test...

Outside of Top Rank fighters, who could have Floyd faced on May 3rd that would have pleased you..Thurman and Porter had fights lined up already..Martinez was facing Cotto..when he mentioned Khan fans dragged his name through the mud..so outside of Bob Arum's fighters (Bradley and Pacquiao) Maidana is the best and toughest opponent available, whatever his flaws are, this is the cold truth. and you just discredited every single Mayweather opponent, but most of those guys Manny fought after Floyd exposed them. you can't just say Floyd is fighting nobodies when all his opponents are world champions, that my friend makes you look like a hater, not a ''boxing fan".

Maidana is more dangerous than pillow fisted Bradley, he is more dangerous than Rios, more dangerous than Margarito, more dangerous than Clottey, more dangerous than drained Oscar and Hatton. so the fact that people are saying Floyd will wash him up is really a testament to Floyd's greatness because Maidana will not get washed up by anybody else, including Pacquiao, he takes all his opponents to hell.

I have to agree!

I don't have a problem with Floyd facing Maidana. Remember, he is the guy people said Floyd was ducking so that he could face the 2-2 Khan. And instead, he fought the fighter most felt was more dangerous than Khan. However, in response to the "who else could Mayweather have fought in May?" Anyone, that is the answer. You cant say he could not have fought Porter or Thurman because they had fights lined up, the fact is, he could have negotiated with them before they had fights lined up and even when they had fights lined up. Even Canelo had the power to break Lara away from Ishe Smith, and we are to believe Mayweather does not have that power? So the whole idea that other guys were tied up does not hold water. However, having said that, Maidana has a bigger name than Porter or Thurman and has back story of attempting to get even for his little nephew (so-to-speak), Broner. And some of the casual fans will actually believe that since Maidana beat a Mayweather imitator, he can actually beat Mayweather. Yeah, I know, in and of itself, most of us know that is a horrible comparison but hey, casual fans buy tickets and hope to see that play out.

Floyd will get clowned on even harder if he was to face Porter or Thurman. you know why? because those guys are completely unproven. we would have to hear the ''who have they beat?" drum throughout the whole promotion. so we're back to square one, who could have Floyd fought (outside of Arum's in-house ******) that people would be totally satisfied with?...when Porter vs Thurman happens, the winner can have a case, but now they are newborns in the division and don't bring nothing to the table.
and Maidana is more dangerous than Porter, Thurman and Bradley combined. this is the best match that can be made with Pacquiao hiding under Arum's skirt for the moment.

And in principle, I agree about Maidana being as good or a better choice. But the reality is, Floyd can at any moment get any fighter he wants before they sign and even after they sign for another fight. No one is ever tied up to where they cannot break a contract to essentially win the lottery unless it is too close to the fight. But as mentioned, Maidana was more known than the other two, seen more on TV than the other two, and the back story of Mayweather getting even or some thinking that Maidana's win over Broner means he would beat Mayweather (casual fans only), creates interest in the fight. Who knows, maybe Mayweather fights one of the other two next. If he fought 2 of the three Khan, Thurman, and Porter and retired, I'd have no problem with that. I gave up the Pac/Mayweather ghost long ago and so should everyone else.

All the complaining sissy's will watch the best ever take maidana apart

Wasn't so frivolous now was it, if it was so frivolous then why was the case settled on? If someone sues you on some bullshhh you settle it? I don't think so, so please kill the p.e.d talk cuz...both men are great athletes there has to come a time to put aside all of the nonsense and look at the landscape of boxing these two created...be thankful you got a shot to see them both in the same era even if it wasn't against each other. The funny thing is Floyd hasn't mentioned ped's in ages but people still keep running with that narrative. He had his moment in court and refused it, he could've subpoenaed half of the boxing world to make his case, he didn't..clearly they recognized something in their argument made no sense.

I believe the lawsuit was frivolous because it was done as a publicity stunt in my honest opinion. And he stood more to gain by doing business with Mayweather than by filing a lawsuit. Defamation happens to be one of the hardest accusations to prove in civil court. Defamation requires that the statement be made as a matter of fact not of speculation. And for Pacquiao to collect damages in a defamation lawsuit he would have had to prove that his reputation had been damaged in a way that hindered him professionally. And we all know that the Pacquiao Mayweather drama has helped his career not hurt it. Just because some judge who also happens to be human allowed this case to enter litigation in his court does not mean that it had true merit. And any civil suit, once it's been allowed to be heard in court, can drag on for years and years. If that would have been allowed to happen there would be even less of a chance than there is now that the fight would happen. So there is plenty of reason that it would be in the interest of the defendant to settle out of court, even on a frivolous lawsuit. And yes Mayweather was the defendant so the burden of proof is on the plaintiff to prove his case. The defendant is not the one that presents an argument in a civil suit. The defendant presents a defense to the alleged complaint of the plaintiff. So the logic behind the last part of your post is somewhat backward.

Maidana couldn't stop Khan, who has a soft jaw
he couldn't stop Terrible, who'd been shot for yrs
he couldn't stop Broner, who he gave a systematic beating to
Maidana is a good puncher but not a deadly puncher
and vs Floyd, will he even land any flush shots?
don't see Maidana getting anything done in this fight

Don't be so down on Floyd .... at least the Maidana fans care for this fight...... if you remove them, you are right, NOBODY CARES!!!
