Is Floyd So Great That A Close Fight = A Lost?

[TheRebelSin]

I re-watched the fight 3 times less intense second time watching it.
I score it 8-4 Floyd or 5-7 Floyd

It seems to me that Floyd being so great that when he has a close fight is like a lost cause he's not suppose to be in close fights.

He fought maidana fight and beat him by 2 or 3 rounds
In the rematch he will fight his fight and win by 10 rounds.
All he has to do is stay in the middle use his footwork.

But when a fighter never gets hit and then he finally gets hit is like
Wow. Manny pacquaio always wins close close fights no problem since we see him get hit all the time we expected him to get hit so he can hit em back.

But with Floyd people don't expect him to get hit yet alone be in a close fight.

At the end I'm happy he fought like that and give him more credit then I would of if he outboxed him.

Great fight tho for those who miss it here's a link

[I Love Jesus!]

Na U biased, When floyd lands a bunch you probably see Miadana glow and watch the doves fly away. Meanwhile when Midana lands you're busy admiring something having to do with Floyd.


Silly reds, when will they learn?

If that fight was fought by manny vs maidana or any other fighter vs maidana and they won how Floyd won it wouldn't be has big since we are used to close fights with other fighters.
But since it was Floyd winning a close fight it feels like the Garcia vs Herrera fight even tho it was't that close.

I felt Maidana won 8-4, first five rounds were a wipe out.

lol are u kidding me? ppl were criticizing pac after his win against p4p#3 bradley..........if pac struggled against say someone like rios (another slow plodder like maidana) there would be ppl calling for him to retire lol.......

especially considering pac almost always dominates guys who pressure him.......

comparing maidana to rios is ******ed.......not the same class of fighter at all. rios is C- and maidana is at least a B-

[TheRebelSin]

Na I'm just looking at the fight like is two fighters no names no hype. I think everyone making there thoughts based off what they think such has maidana being a b class fighter and other things the fact that the fight shouldn't of been that close cause they didn't expect it. I'm just saying Floyd fought maidana fight and beat him by 2 rounds. But do you think he fought like that cause he had no choice like broner? No he fought his fight cause he wanted to and there's many rounds where mayweather walking him down one of the later rounds mayweather hurt him to the body. At the end he did what he had to he won and got everyone talking about a rematch and this will make the rematch bigger and he will beat him easy next time making it his type of fight.. I think he fought that way cause he wanted to stop him. But at the end a great great fight!

They hold Floyd to a godly standard. If he does anything but dominate 12-0 without any cuts whatsoever it's a loss lol. Just shows his greatness.

Both are low iq brawlers with limited skills.

[johnm is...]

most people had maywetaher winning 7-5.......if you're the supposed #1 best p4p and brag about being the best ever and yet allow a slow plodding 20-1 undergo to win that many rounds.....then it might as well be a loss.........

if floyd won a close fight against someone like bradley then it wouldn't be seen as bad at all......

I like how you just pull a number out of thin air. Maidana wasn't anything close to a 20/1 underdog. he was like 7/1.
