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

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

instead of giving props to a great for beating a game rough fighter he gets bashed. Its really pathetic

And a guy who was a super middle weight on fight night. Pathetic indeed.

You Floyd fans are doing double time to try to state what you stated but the fact is that Maidana had already 4 rounds won in the first half of the fight. If you can give Floyd more than 2 rounds out of first 6 then you can muster up easily 2 or 3 Maidana rounds in the second half because Floyd didn't do much in this fight to deserve a clear win like you are pretending it is.

Spare me the drivel there are no moral victories in boxing. A win is a win. 116_112 Mayweather. Yawn.

How many greats in history would have a close fight with Maidana?

Robinson, Hearns, Leonard, Duran, would De La Hoya even? stop me when you find one.

Yeah Floyd should be fighting exhibitions against nobodies like Hearns was at 37.

mike tyson says top 5 ever

bhop- says top 3 ever

paulie- says the best ever

I think its safe to say floyd is one of the best if not the best to ever.

He struggled at 37yrs old and still pulled out the victory but gets no props lol
Ok floyd is overrated smh

Who has he fought. Canelo who has he beaten. I've never rated him, very slow mechanical. Shot cotto gave him a fight, so did a shot Hoya. Hatton? Ortiz? How is he considered among the greatest ever.

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

Floyd, if he chose to, could've boxed and clinched Chino from the outside all night.
He chose to sit down with Chino which made it all the more exciting to watch.

Chino brought it hard and heavy, and to his credit made it a close and competitive fight.

A guy like Khan would've had a rough night against Maidana and may have gotten dropped a couple of times.

Maidana was that well prepared to go all 12.

How did you come up with that score? You had Floyd winning rounds that should have been given to Maidana ..... got it!

Ok one of the biggest Floyd knob polishers on the whole site agrees with you, Congratulations!

I wast saying that cause I'm a Floyd fan but more cause I understand how people think. I personally don't care who wins or loses I just want a good fight!
I'm glad that fight was close it makes thing interested. Floyd the Jordan of boxing and he fought a great close fight. He didn't do what was expected so chino wins off that.. The best win is a lost for chino this was the best way to lose to mayweather. Chino continues to go up from here unless he takes the rematch and Floyd outbox him. But for head butting cutting Floyd a few low blows here and there and here cause it was like 4/5 of em.. running him thru the ropes all that help him make it a great fight. Floyd has a fight you can re-watch now enjoy it!!

yeah just like he was bleeding against cotto and thats all they talked about, i guess they forget the people hes fighting are professional ranked fighters with professional trainers.... they actually think higher of floyd than his actual fans do... when getting hit in a boxing match or bleeding is the focus and constantly talked about even though you clearly win..then you have to be great

So you use a shot cotto and a guy who isn't even a top 5 welterweight to prove these points lol.
