How physically damaged will Floyd be after this fight?

[Jc8804]

What damage? He took almost every short on the arms and a clash of heads caused a cut. I doubt he will be damaged at all by about 10 decent shots landed from Maidana in the entire fight because he smothers his own work.

Maidana threw a punch that hit floyds glove and floyds glove cut himself.
Maidana brute power .

Give him credit

You're either making my point, or you don't understand my point, or both. The Hatton fight was six and a half years ago. I can't possibly agree with you Hatton was more effective or did more damage to May than Maidana, but even if I grant you that point, Floyd is 37 now. I think his age and the fact that he's now had a couple of tough fights in the past two years means that we have to at least wonder whether he will show some visible lasting physical effects going forward.

Floyd is probably the most supremely conditioned athlete the sport has every seen. The dude spends tons of time and money to take care of his body. I don't think it's going to break down overnight fighting any of those 147 guys. My point about the Hatton fight was his aggression was more effective, because it forced Floyd to go to another level and do something special, Maidaina not so much. The gameplan was systematic and executed to a tee.
