Floyd dug deep like the greats do. Robinson struggled with a "B fighter" in Lamotta, and Ray Robinson is perhaps the GOAT. Floyd is one of the best to lace up a pair of gloves, and Maidana tested him.
Maidana in the end didn't land enough clear and clean punches the 2nd half. Mayweather was really tagging him the last 6-7 rounds, and adjusted on the ropes.
How about all those body shots Floyd landed??? No one is talking about that aside from Al Bernstein.
He's slower then he was 4 years ago sure. Even 3 years ago probably.
At the same time, 8-4 card man....if I need to get with reality on this, you need to get with reality. It was one of those fights where 8-4 Floyd is ridiculous IMO, and 7-5 Maidana is hard pressed too. This was a 7-5 Floyd fight clearly, or maybe 6-6.
Right so you had 7-5 Floyd and you're telling me you couldn't have scored a single other round for Floyd? 7-5 Floyd for you, 7-5 Maidana is hard pressed and 8-4 Floyd is ridiculous? Well in that case show me 5 rounds Maidana dominated.
I don't know how anybody could give floyd the first 6 rounds or the last 2 rounds.
Of the first 6 rounds I thought the 4th round could have gone either way.
I scored it for Chino, because of momentum, work output, and ring generalship.
Had it 7-5 or a draw... Leaning towards a damn draw. Mayweather looked super dispirited in the first half of the fight, he looked like a beaten man. Maidana got a bit tired I feel in the second half of the fight and got his second wind in the 12th. May sc****d and clawed and HELD like a damn conjoined twin in that round.. Haven't decided who won the 12th.. Must rewatch.
We kept telling you ****s this was a competitive fight... I posted hundreds of times trying to school people... But I guess you just had to see for yourselves
i had mayweather by 1 or 2 rounds and im a mayweather fan I do think he won the fight but I can understand if someone had maidana winning but if so they were giving a ton of credit on ropes even tho most were missing. Great fight no doubt i think he had win last 3 or so rounds to win i just think he did

People simply don't know boxing. Simple as that.
There's a lot more to break down than "he's slow" and "he's slow" so the fight will be the same.
It was obvious (to me) and a few others yourself included that Maidana would push Floyd.
Floyd pulled it out but Maidana showed what he can do.
Go back and watch footage. Lamotta, who deserves all the props he gets, was more or less a slow come forward fighter, who was relentless. Not much difference. He made Robinson struggle.
Lamotta lost tons of fights to low level fighters. He definitely wasn't an A-level guy, not an elite fighter of that era.

Floyd won 5 of the last 6 rounds. I could give him no more than 2 of the first 6, which is what I did give him. Can you really give him 8 rounds???
