Comments Thread For: Maidana: Mayweather's Power Respectable, Broner Better

[comanick]

Cotto just finished getting his wbo light welterweight belt from pinto when mayweather wanted to fight him. Kinda green fighter there no? How is that ducking? HAHAHAHAHA hatton in 05 and 07 were the same ahhahaha you need to watch some more boxing young buck. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/200...ng.rickyhatton

If he was going around calling himself a champion then he should have been ready to fight another champ in his own division. That my friend is ducking. Its understandable but ducking nontheless.

Floyd rarely commits to punches anymore out of fear of injuring his hands. It also looked to me like he wore 10 oz gloves as opposed to the usual 8 oz ones for a welterweight fight. Floyd also came in light so his punches must've felt like nothing to Maidana.

Floyd's whole gameplan for the Maidana fight was ******. He came in light, didn't move much, didn't throw much, and wore huge azz gloves. I don't know what he was thinking.

Oh really ****head? Then why did maidana say he has a respectable punch?

[raymosr]

The blood test was supposed to be random. If he gets to dictate when the testing can and can't happen it's not random. So he did not agree to be tested randomly. And going to ESPN a year later after filing a lawsuit when they weren't even negotiating and claiming that he now agrees to the testing was such an obvious publicity ploy that it still baffles me that people put stock in that and act like they believe it.

Oh yea it's so ridiculous to demand that both parties get random blood tested for the biggest fight money wise in boxing history... ****head pac-tard. Oh btw now the roidless version of pac wants Marquez 2 be randomly tested.

so when cotto beat mosley near the end of 07, mayweather "retired". He had a rematch lined up with de la hoya and a 20 mil pay day. De la hoya promised he was the train his hardest and get in better shape than the first fight. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/box...ory?id=3429729
Nice try though

Just came across this nonsense from Showtime. It's one thing to have this kind of contest that's open to the public, but to ask professional designers to submit work for free in an effort to promote May-Maidana 2 is straight up de****able. I guess that return on their investment in Floyd isn't quite what they thought.

Broner hurt Maidana good in the 12th round and he immediately went on the backfoot.

[sugarsmosley]

thats interesting , of course mayweather is koing guys but a lot of his opponents seem to be surprised by his power. well they say punches u dont see hurt the most,, and we all know dude is a master counterpuncher... but still its cool to see big guys like canelo n maidana kept at bay by what some call a "feather puncher" lol. dude can punch with authority

[theboxingguru]

Cotto was Top Rank fighter at the time plus Cotto never called Floyd out and never made reference to him. He used the old "I let my promoter decide" line.
