    He fought the fight of his life. Didn't turn up to pick up millions, like others before him, and kept going all night.

    Also made me laugh when he landed that low-blow. The way he measured him for that was just so Maidana.

      I must say, I was shocked....shocked !! Floyd looked ordinary I give props to Maidana he gave absolutely no respect to Floyd he went in guns blazing. Not sure on the 2 wide cards but a draw seemed plausible, I will rewatch and see.

        Just like I said before the fight.

        Floyds well passed his prime.

        Maidana will bring the fight every round. A style he has NOT seen in years.

        Maidana will have no respect for Floyd.

        People need to look at things more closely. The fact Maidana is a slow of foot was literally enough to right him off and compare him to guys who have a completely different style.

        I don't know, mate.

        Mayweather hasn't lost more than 3 rounds in a fight for over 7 years and he's just 6 months removed from routing Canelo. I don't think there was any indication that Floyd was slipping, until tonight. 9/10 I would think he dominates Maidana, but he looked his age for once.

            I expected a rough fight, but he made it tougher than I expected. Much respect to him.

              I disagree with him losing fair and square but I agree with the rest, most of you need to eat some crow. Maidana gave him hell and deserved a draw.

                A Maidana rematch, Porter, Khan, etc would all be risky for Floyd at this point. Yes, Khan too. Floyd is slowing down and getting older. His time at the very top is likely over. A lot of these younger guys are getting to the point where they could beat him.

                I thought he took over in the middle and won the fight, maybe 7-5. Maidana have him hell though, and I wouldn't mind a rematch.

                    I always believe Canelo hurt floyd more than he let on. I remember watching a fight hype vid of him getting a massage after and he looked very bad. But just my opinion.

                      Maybe not to others but to me it was very clear. Been saying it a while.

                      The dominating performances hid the clear fact that he's slipping and fast.

                      I was very vocal about this and expected exactly what I saw.
