    Mayweather just toyed with Maidana to make it a more exciting fight.. he could have ouboxed him easy obviously.. everyone knows that..

    that doesn't change the fact he ducked Khan though, we can agree on that.

      Your two gifs are two great examples. Maidana supposedly didn't let Floyd move, yet your gifs clearly show Mayweather making absolutely zero attempts at moving away from Maidana. In fact, when Maidana stops swarming him in your gif, Mayweather comes back to him instead of stepping away to make space for himself.

      Floyd is probably happy as hell that fans think he lost his legs, that Maidana forced him to fight that way. Because now, for the fans doubting him, he will happily outbox Maidana to a 12 round wide UD to prove a point, and he loves boxing, he does not like brawls or inside fighting. It will be two completely different fights and those thinking that Maidana really made Floyd fight that way, and it was not Floyd's choice will be bitterly shocked and just insult Floyd anyway for a boring UD in a rematch.
      So you think Floyd let Maidana beat him up just so he could entertain the fans?

      Mayweather wasn't running? We're you expecting him to run off the ring and into the parking lot?

          Lol at everyone who thinks Floyd fought Madonna like that 'for the fans'

          The same guy who's always talking about his health and how he doesn't want to be a vegetable; go hit all night for the fans?

          What a joke Madonna mauled Floyd from round 1. TBE doe

            It's hilarious when peoe say Floyd walked (a tired, disinterested, defeated) Canelo down. Lol, for 30 seconds in the 10th round. "Kudos."

              Agreed, me being a fan and him talking about is health lately is cringe worthy.

                Floyd did not throw enough and his average workrate made it easier for Maidana to bullrush him.

                That of course and an average power. Maidana ate a lot of flush shots.

                Canelo is not a volume puncher, his style benefits May.

                But let's be real, Canelo would knock the hell out of Maidana, wouldn't even be funny.

In a rematch Maidana would be deducted points for rabbit punching taking away his secret weapon. What can he do after that...nothing but be a punching bag.
                  He still got the UFC knees and the WWE Goldberg Spear Tackle.

                    Don't get me wrong, I like Canelo as a boxer, but is it just me or did Maidana make Canelo look like a amature on Saturday?
