Comments Thread For: Duran: Maidana Won It, Mayweather Will Run in Rematch

[TLC8]

Floyd can't even officially make 154 lbs, and you want him to go to 160?

Heavyweights do it all the time.... Michael Spinks weighed how much less than Larry Holmes, whom he fought twice. Roy Jones was considerably lighter than John Ruiz. Ray Leonard was much lighter than Marvin Hagler. Ray Leonard was considerably lighter than Donnie LaLonde at Light Heavyweight. Shane Mosley was much smaller than Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright. Oscar Dela Hoya was much smaller than Bernard Hopkins. It didn't keep those guys from growing a set and go up for another challenge. There always seems to be an excuse for Floyd.

LOL! No fkin way.. Prime Duran murders Floyd. Floyd has enough trouble with a b-class fighter in Maidana.

Floyd would NEVER have gotten in the ring with Duran, Leonard, Hearns, Pryor or Arguello. He's avoided Pac for 5 years and counting...

Mathematically speaking it doesn't add up. Floyd did not win all 6 of the final rounds. He had no answer for the first six, covered up, laid on the ropes, took a beating, complained to the referee, losing all 6 rounds. Just Boxing politics. The judges didn't anticipate Maidana's aggression. Vegas is literally home for Mayweather. No way were they prepared to put a blemish on Floyd's record. All week they heard everything from 6-1, to 11-1 favorite over Maidana. Duran was absolutely right. Floyd had no answer, his corner had no answer, he was getting pounded, he doesn't like getting hit, and he had to stand and fight to survive. He didn't fight because he "wanted to give the fans a show"... that's all BS trying to protect his image. He fought because Maidana made him fight every second of every round. Just like Bradley getting decisions over Pacquiao and Provo. Just a screw job by biased Vegas judges and the influence of the MGM & Showtime. That's what you get. Floyd will go back, watch this fight 50 times, and hit and run, hit and tie up, hit and run, hit and clinch in a rematch, which is just a puzzy way to show up and defend your title. And you'll be happy to know Floyd gets $70M when it's all added up this week, and Maidana was guaranteed $1.8M.

Totally agree with you, good post!

There you go. Durán and many people said chino won. or at least a draw. How can anyone who believes he is the best , holds??? He is not the best is a coward. Chávez also criticized floyd, cause he fights like a coward

[budfr]

One of my favorite boxers of all time doesn't know how to score a fight.

coming from a fan of Lara your comment is pointless.Duran knows more than you.n

[face untouched]

Man this old fat fyck got his face dam near taken apart by hearns and got his face outboxed by sugar ray. Kid sit your ass down ur finished

Coming from a guy who quit that people swear up and down is an ATG, LMBAO

If Duran is not an ATG then neither is Floyd.

Didn't Duran quit and say "No mas" of course he is going to root for his country men. But he got made quit by an American

People call Floyd a coward yet defend "No Mas" Duran is this real life?

If Floyd EVER quit on his stool like a bytch this site would be shut down for days. But Floyd doesnt have that in him doe.

Duran may have quit against one of his threats, but Floyd didn't get in the ring with his. That's why Duran's best win is Leonard, whereas Mayweather's is Corrales.

How the hell do you know Floyd wouldn't beat Sugar Ray Leonard

Which of Floyd's victories give you the impression he might beat Leonard?

[Holywarrior]

Ray Leonard was much lighter than Marvin Hagler.

What were their fight night weights?

[gyllespie]

That's a bit rich coming from a guy who quit in a fight. I respect Duran as he is an ATG. But he needs to show more respect for pure boxers. They are the Robert De Niros of boxing. Respect their art. It's not a tough man sport otherwise every fighter would be a Jason Statham.

Maidana shoulda been DQ'd. . He had a 20 pound weight advantage, tried to sneak in gloves with no padding (caught), fought like a wrestler on bath salts, Floyd stood his ground the whole fight and beat him at his own game. Quit hating. Maidana gassed out in round 9, Floyd swept the last 4 rounds, and won 2,3 and 7. Do the math, he won 7-5 at best. There's a difference between aggression and dirty.

What is the regulation on boxing gloves? You don't even know what you're talking about. There's no reg on padding or weight distribution.
