Your point would make sense if Floyd wasn't absolutely exhausted in the fight.Comment

From the opening round Floyd went to the ropes and pridefully wanted to prove that he was the sharper inside fighter. He normally goes to the ropes in the 8th round to rest. No matter how many times Marcos hit him, he stayed their.
Floyd has fought opponents WAAAY better, faster, stronger, bigger, better footwork than Marcos He overpowered Canelo and actually walked him down. I knew he would be too strong for Marcos.
Marcos didnt fight that Floyd. This Floyd was weak, no pop, flashy soft punches. Against Nelo he buckled him with a stiff jab in the 4th round and I have doubts Marcos can last 4 rounds with Nelo. Btw, I called this fight a draw. No way did Floyd win, but Marcos didnt completely dominate. So I aint biased.Comment

Im not one to ignore effective aggression. When Marcos is outworking Floyd and Floyd is blocking, at the same time his whole body is rocking from the power. Then he doesnt throw any punches the entire round. I could give it to Marcos or maybe a draw. Floyd aint do shiet.
Don't get me wrong. Maidana has success and did a great job of staying on top of Floyd and making him fight but Floyd got the better of Maidana. Maidana only won 4 rounds, giving him 5 is being generous.Last edited by Pacquiao'd; 05-07-2014, 08:05 AM.Comment

Definitely not true. Maidana made him work but Floyd won clearly in an ugly dog fight . Give Marcos his creditComment

A tiger can't change it's stripes. Maidana is an aggressive fighter, with an incredibly awkward style.
Canelo is much more skilled and a natural counter puncher. It was a more favorable style match up for Floyd to fight Canelo.Comment

In your mind, maybe that is what happened but in reality, Maidana won most of the early rounds then got tired and gave Floyd the chance to win some rounds.
If Maidana had P.Williams type stamina and work-rate, Floyd would be in trouble for all 12 rounds! It had less to do with Floyd and all to do with Maidana.
Oh yeah, giving Maidana them pillow gloves instead of his puncher gloves, .... well, that was the real turning point!
Why didn't they call the fight off altogether?
