Mayweather would have won easy if he boxed, instead of fighting toe-to-toe?

No way he go toe to toe!!!!!!!...he tried to outbox but he couldn't

115-113 for maidana I scored

Well not toe-to-toe but he stood in front of him, instead of moving. What rounds did you give him?

Maybe due to ego but why can't Floyd admit this? You're freaking 37 years old. You'll always have your haters but admitting that you're old and can't move as well isn't so bad. The excuse "I made it a brawl for the fans" is such bullshit.

He's very insecure that's why.

He said the exact same thing after the Cotto fight.

I thought Mayweather won 116-112.

What did you think of his performance?

When Floyd stood in the center of the ring, he ate Chino up...Chino couldn't answer to Floyd boxing him..but once Floyd went to the ropes, Chino was able to set punches, though majority he missed!..he stayed busy, and had a higher work rate..this is where Chino was able to capitalize off perspective!
Even when Floyd stood in front of Chino in the center, Chino wasn't connecting..

Thought it's the worst I've ever seen Floyd. IMO.

Woah, Do you think he's done?

Maidana forced him to fight, to the ropes.

He doesn't have the legs anymore to evade that kind of pressure for 12 full rounds without having to either be forced inside or forced to the ropes. Another reason why I said it will be a tough fight.

In his prime, he still went to the ropes too often, he's comfortable there defensively but it's difficult to get the better of the man there.

He get's hit a lot more on the ropes now though at his advanced stage of his career.

Guererro and Canelo aren't pressure fighters so he could afford to do what he wanted with them. Maidana's a whole different fighter style wise.

Excellent post..this is what I think to an extent!
I thought Floyd should've stayed off the ropes, and worked more in the center..but he kept going to the ropes, most of the time reverting by choice..I almost felt he thought he could do it because he had no respect for Chino, and thought because he was successful with bigger guys there, the same would apply..then I thought it must be out of habit, or he chooses it due to not having the same legs he had in his prime..
But I think he'll fight him different when a rematch occurs..

Nah not done but it's only downhill from here.

I don't see him retiring undefeated if he does have 3 more fights.

Maidana made it so Mayweather COULDN'T box as much. That's what made Maidana very successful until he started slowing down and let Mayweather get the later rounds.

Mayweather didn't DECIDE to go toe-to-toe, he had NO CHOICE in the matter. Maidana kept pressuring him throughout the entire fight.
