      Still speaks volumes that Floyd even struggled with a guy like Maidana in the first place. They aren't even in the same league and yet Chino won about 5 rounds.

      I'm not saying Maidana is going to win, but I am saying Floyd is showing signs he's past his best days.

        Why do people insist chino is a lay down? Struggled with a guy "like" maidana? He gives everybody problems. Maidana has definitely got better since his move to welterweight and only had 3 losses before floyd.

          Because he's a crude fighter. Not very skilled. Very sloppy, very amateurish at times. Sure you can say he's gotten a bit better but he's a big overachiever. He was bordering on being irrelevant after he lost to Devon Alexander. Exposes Broner and boom, gets a Mayweather shot. Really quite remarkable that he made it to this stage.

            The comparison is not even close. At the end of the first fight, Roy didn't have an answer for Tarver. He pretty much laid on the ropes and waited for the bell to ring. Mayweather was able to figure Maidana out and out boxed him. Unless Mayweather has a major lapse in concentration I don't see it happening. Jones got caught cold. I don't see Mayweather getting caught cold.

              Chino is not the better natural fighter, floyd already proved that in the first fight..smdh

                Floyd's age has definitely caught up to him (possibly for a while now) so one thing I am certain is that even if he does beat Maidana, it still won't be as easy as some people expect.

                  To me Mayweather is clearly aging, and I think rapidly. You could be right ts.

                    It clearly wasn't that easy. He won 4 straight, 3 by ko. One of them being the most hyped guy in the sport..

                    The easy to see improvements with Garcia. Maidana is who he is, but I would certainly call him a skilled fighter now. He execute to many skilled tactics, thinks in the ring, and sets up too many shots up to simply be called crude.

                    Ya, he's awkward and doesn't look the part. That means nothing. It's what you do, not how you look doing it.

                      What exactly do you mean by better natural fighter?
