    maidana won 4 rounds in a fight that was stacked against him. If floyd is so greatm he should have won 12 rounds with these circumstances, floyds all washed up and done

      Floyd dominated, but showed signs of wear and tear. I was shocked that Maidana was quicker to the jab than Floyd
      This^^^ I had 9-3 for Floyd and he flashed moments where he looked great but overall his age is showing.

            Mayweather did the booty dew, it was funny watching him try to hide it by storming to his stool.

                  In first 6 rounds we seen the great Floyd mayweather, nice footwork, great counter right hand then he kinda slow down and started getting hit with shots that he never got hit with before i think age is getting to him... I dont understand why people complain about Floyd holding if ref lets him do it then why not? Why exchange with a brawler? Just my opinion

                    Because the two don't necessarily go hand in hand. He dominated the fight as a whole but he wasn't dominating. The same way Manny had an unimpressive dominant win over Clottey, the same way Broner had an unimpressive dominant win over Molina, the same way Josesito won a shutout the other night but was completely unimpressive. There are plenty of examples. I don't like Floyd but I NEVER downplay his talent, he impresses me almost everytime he is in the ring. Tonight I thought was his worst performance I've ever watched. I was even more impressed at his resiliency and ability to adapt in the much harder fight vs Maidana. This fight was just running (yes most of that way not just using his legs, that was flat out running) and clinching and having Bayless being overly generous toward him. I was far from impressed in this one.

                      As much as I hate this, you are correct. I don't give him credit for doing it, the way you are implying but fighters will always do what they are able to get away with. It's up to the ref to step in and stop that from happening. That did not happen at all tonight. It seemed tonight Floyd could do absolutely anything he wanted to and get away with it.
