People Aren't Stating What Was Abundantly Clear Last Night About Mayweather

Maidana was also almost a ****ing super middleweight last night.. Ive rewatched this fight twice and its because chino aggressiveness something you rarely see floyd against almost made you think what's wrong with Floyd. But watching the sh(t over and over its plain to see Floyd dominated.
Slow, sluggish, old is how Floyd looked. He aged overnight; stop being biased and just man up.Comment

As for Mayeather ageing, it was the same narrative we got after the Cotto fight. Then when he faced Guerrero and Canelo it became a story of Floyd having wanted to entertain people against Cotto, because of how good he still looked.
Some guys bring the right gameplan. Canelo and Guerrero didn't, Cotto and Maidana did.Comment

I think what May was trying to do is to adapt like Hopkins does, fight when he wants to fight, Meaning only short periods in each round a to conserve energy.. May was looking to boss the fight in the second half for sure.. Between 1-6 May fell short on a few punches it's probs the most I have seen him miss to be honest.. To me he never looked right in this fight at all, Not taking anything away from Maidana but May on a bad night would have skooled Maidana so for me this was a terrible performance by May.. If May was fighting Manny last night he would have got owned on that performance for sure. Maidana fight is an easy one for Manny right now. There is only one fight that really matters and that is May Vs Manny. I am so happy that I never paid the PPV to watch it.. However I will pay for Froch Vs Groves that's value for money..80,000 in attendance

That was a major factor. I knew Chino would gas, but I didn't think he would take Floyd's shots so well.

I think it has as much to do with Maidana. Of course, Mayweather has looked a bit slower, not quite as sharp with his reflexes since at least the Mosley fight. It's been noticeable since he fought Cotto. Maidana really beat the hell out of his body, though, and I think that can explain why he looked so worn in the second half of the fight. Props to Mayweather though for responding the way he did.Comment

He's been old since the Cotto fight. Really the Ortiz fight, IMO.
He looked unbeatable against Guerrero and Canelo because they are boxer/punchers that let him stay comfortable and dictate the fight. Guerrero mauled and brawled against Berto and Aydin but if you watch his run at the lower weight divisions that's now how he fights.
It's a lot easier to look unbeatable when a guy is cooperating. Those guys weren't putting the pressure on like chino was.Comment

Lol im being very bias.. Maidana landed punches, i myself fight So seeing someone land punches shouldnt be jaw droppimg.. It is for you guys because youve never seen floyd hit like that.. But for me its suppose to happen like that.. Floyd outclassed a very game chino.. Chino faded 9 to 12.. Chino right grazed floyd more then it hit him. Floyd was punching maidana right in the mouthrepeatadly, landed the jab an right to the body at will.. Chinos jab was moere effective then his riightt from the 7th on.Last edited by GreatestIam; 05-04-2014, 12:19 PM.Comment
