Mayweather is not undefeated because he chose to fight his opponent's style fight. Of course Maidana wants him to stand in front of him. But why would any intelligent fighter stand and do that if its to his disadvantage??? I think you will see Floyd at his best in this fight. You will see pure skill and speed. It could be somewhat exciting in the early rounds, but it will quickly become Floyd's style of fight. I would love to see Floyd commit to the body early and look for the KO late. Early in his career, that would have been the case, but he's went away from that as a welterweight.

I honestly think Floyd carried Maidana in the 1st fight simply to set up the rematch. He didn't know that Maidana was going to make it that rugged, but Floyd made the fight more interesting than it had to be. How many times was Maidana wide open for shots? Plenty, but Floyd didn't take advantage. Why, because Maidana was too fast and skilled and might have countered??? No, because that was the game plan.

At this stage, Floyd in my opinion, is a better business man than he is a fighter. He is running out of marketable opponents to make the big pay per views. So he created one in Maidana by making the fight close. He will dominate him this time around setting up a big fight with Pacquiao in May. Then he will rematch Manny in September and retire. Its a brilliant plan and most lucrative way to go out. Floyd is just praying that Manny beats Algieri in December, because that could be a very bad match up for Manny. A lost will throw off the entire plan.

So basically he's saying the only way he can win is to get Floyd on the ropes. Floyd doesn't have to run from Maidana. Floyd can stand in the center of the ring and beat him on skills. Where does Maidana get running from? So Floyd in the center with his hands down is called running?

Standing in the center of the ring would just make it easier for Maidana to swarm in on him. Floyd got away with that against Canelo but that's not going to happen against Maidana.

Your little bunch of wood duck friends are not the majority , the same group that threw a party because Floyd got a blood nose in a WT fight against a great fighter , a fckn blood nose lol , nothing but a bunch of fanboys that got no idea what they are looking at .

the idiot queen of floydiots is mad!

but you need to accept it... chino convincingly won the 1st fight.

I definitely think Floyd won the first fight (if it was a 6-round fight Maidana would've won the decision, but over 12 rounds I think Floyd certainly won).

Maidana gave him a real tough fight though, and made him look entirely human.

Like I said before, in my opinion, Floyd's legs are not there anymore (like they use to be). Maidana is going to take full advantage, and score the stoppage in the rematch.

[RawDawgHasSpokn]

I didn't see any respect for Floyd in the first fight.

[IMDAZED]

Floyd won't move that much because he can't. I don't understand this idea that he'll simply move more in the rematch and that'll be that. Then why didn't he just do that the first time? No, he's going to have his back against the ropes quite a bit again.
