    I think people were still carrying the hype and the energy from the first fight, so when Maidana landed the few shots he did, it looked worse than what it really was.

        Man nearly pitched a shut out vs a contender and yet people think he should retire. Thats greatness. I do think he has declined though but it is what it is

          Remember how sharp Khan looked for 11 rounds? How it was competitive againts a washed up Morales, Karass and Josesito Lopez?

          I expected tonight to be a shut out, but I had Maidana winning 4-5 rounds.

            Are you serious bro? Tim Bradley landed a right hand on pac and lifted him off the canvas and still couldn't drop him

            Just admit that Pac will absolutely pick apart Mayweather if he fights like that again. Adjustments? What Adjustments? Holding more, elbowing, crying to ref, low blows, complained about his hand (Time will still running if no one noticed) May kept looking at the clock, He's good at wasting time. No hate on him at all, I'm a big fan but just tired of the same old show.

            Even a past prime Pac can give Kenweather some trouble

              I'm actually kinda interested in Mayweather/Khan now. Khan may have the speed to pull it off.
              I agree, Algeria does have a legitimate chance of winning a decision but how are you coming to the conclusion that Pacquiao Isn't looking that great right now? Are you basing this on the Marquez fight from over two years ago?

                styles makes fights... cant sit here and say floyd is done just because marcos landed some shots, its BOXING for crying out loud
                Alexander put on a clinic against Maidana. Come on bro. Even Khan looked solid against him.

He won tonight clearly and i think the scorecards were to close..but he did not look like the Floyd i know
                  Didn't get to see it. Hope they replay it on Showtime.

                  So this was not a matter of Maidana being the absolute wrong guy at the wrong time/styles make fights thing and Floyd managed to sc**** by?

                  Will he be able to carry on like Hopkins by fighting smart?

                  I can't believe he hangs em' up any time soon if it's still profitable for him.

                      I still dont want floyd to get beat by anyone lesser than pacquiao, if no pacquiao, i still hope he retires undefeated. Call me a hugger but i dont want them to lose to anyone that they would have easily toyed in their primes. Pac-may make it happen.
