    8 rounds to 4. I'm lost here. He won 4 rounds thought he'd win zero. Wanna cookie doe?
    yeah, I thought he was gonna get 12 zipped or stopped late....but it was one of those times when I was happy I was wrong....I didn't even watch the fight live...I went to bed after Khan gave Collazo that work....didn't think the main event was gonna be competitive at all....that was GREAT for the sport

    even though he was messy, he pushed Floyd from round one to twelve....dude was disrespectful but Floyd took it like a champ and found a way to win....probably getting old now and these young cats might can catch him slipping if he's not gonna age like the great BHop!!

      I feel sorry for him that he got robbed vs floyd, it was a cherry pick that backfired

      there is a reason floyd has ducked the best, he is not that good as chino showed
      You have no idea if he will be in the HOF or not.

      Lots of fantastic fighters are not and ever will make the HOF.

        I'll apologise I thought Floyd would dismantle him and TKO him.

        Although Maidana is better than I thought, I would also say I saw some definite slippage from Floyd for the first time. I saw decline in speed against Canelo but he was so good in the fight I didn't pay that much attention, but I think you'll see more from here on out. I don't think we will see the consistency any more. I think Floyd is similar to BHOP in the sense that he could go on at the very highest level and still produce great performances well into his 40's if he wanted to, but the invincibility is going, and I think if you get a fighter who is quick on his feet with quick hands, athletic with good power, Floyd could potentially come up against his Jermain Taylor. Although not sure if there is a fighter out there like that, maybe Khan? Doubt it.

        As for Maidana, he must of learnt lots in that fight and will be full of confidence after that performance, I can see him kicking on and producing some great performances at 147.

          Maidana is a good to great brawler who is not easy to outbox. Only for Devon Alexander.

            Why are Floyd fans so mad about the way maidana fought? I mean...it's maidana gawd dammit...everybody knows how chino was gonna fight...they should of expected and Floyd should have known before he picked him as an opponent.

              Larry wants everyone to fight like Guerrero did against Floyd. Like a little boy and lose 12-0. TBE right?

                I'm sorry Maidana, you are a much better fighter than I thought you were.

                  Only a certain type of fan owe him an apology, everyone else knows fights are earned. He knows he was working hard.
