    Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Maidana Rematch: Pre-Fight Report Card

    There have been fair times for criticism over the years about Floyd Mayweather and his opponent selection. This shouldn’t be one of them.

    For the second time in his career, he faced someone that left enough of an impression over twelve rounds that there was debate about who really won the fight, if anyone did. The last time that happened, against Jose Luis Castillo, Mayweather went right back at him and cleared matters up.

    With a limited amount of fights left on his deal at Showtime, and some assuming he will retire at its conclusion (this being boxing, take it all with a grain of salt), there could have been a new, fresh face across the ring on the Showtime side of the Welterweight bracket. The difference between the fresh faces, and Maidana, is that they all want a shot at the brass ring based on what they’ve done against the men they’ve been fighting.

        Mayweather with a power of B though? WTF? Just because he has Ariza now working with him? I'd give his power a C+ at best. And Maidana's power at B+. Maidana's signature punch is the overhand hook, those KO people more often if landed good and clean. But his other punches (straight and jab) aren't as powerful.

          What the hell is an overhand hook?

            ^ Typical Floyd fan trying to defend his hero by responding with **** out of context, that's besides the point.
