Father Time caught up with Floyd!

If Father Time caught up with Floyd he was standing behind Maidana.

Thanks Chino for years of great fights (and one stinker) with more to come!

There are a lot of posters who need to come in here and apologize for some of the stuff they've said about Maidana. I'll go ahead and start, because I never thought he'd give Mayweather that kind of fight.

Yo this is the Non Stop Boxing section, not the Wrestling section.

Mods, please move the thread.

War Maidana, he will be champ again. Great effort last night in a real close fight.

[IronDanHamza]

I said from the day this fight was signed it would be a very tough fight for Floyd.

I'm not a fan of Maidana but to me, that was abundantly clear.

All the moron's saying it was going to be the biggest mismatch of all time seem to have come out the woodwork having "Always known" now.

[Divine Hammer]

i've said it before and i'm not afraid to say it again, maidana is a very limited and not very skillful fighter. BUT the reason he gave floyd such a tough fight was not because of him having skill it was because of his HEART and his TENACITY and that FIRE. he roughed up mayweather and refused to give him breathing room. he threw punches from everywhere.

he doesn't have textbook punches, or textbook footwork or anything like this. he's not fast. but his heart is truly a warrior's heart and he gives it his all in the ring. he may not go down as a hof'er or anything like that but he truly is entertaining to watch.
