Comments Thread For: Canelo: Mayweather Ran From Maidana, Took No Risks

[radioraheem]

I gave Maidana 5 rounds myself.

Round 1- where Floyd did absolutely nothing but move around the ring while Chino stalked and was the aggressor.

Round 3- where Madaina stole it with that huge straight right that rocked Floyd at the bell and left him staggering to his corner.

Round 4 -A round in which Maidana dominated Floyd.

Round 6 - A round where Maidana landed the cleaner harder shots and had Floyd on the ropes for the majority of the round.

Round 12 - A round where Floyd just ran to avoid engaging and protect his points lead.

Even this is as biased as they come. Floyd was having one of his best rounds in that entire fight in Round 3. Maidana's only great punch was at the very end of the round. That is not enough to score it for him when his opponent landed way more clean and effective punches all round. And the punch Maidana landed wasn't a knockdown or a knockout.

And that is only the beginning of the inconsistencies present in your post.

The **** does a "blogger" have to do with boxing record books? Never heard of the boxing hall of fame? Fuxking dumbass.

Dumbass did you mention the HOF in your original post. I Never heard of a asterisk for not fighting a certain fighter smh. Let me guess only Floyd will get the asterisk? lol man you so called boxing fans are funny.

I'm married to a Puerto Rican, so I have to be a Cotto fan. I'm also from New York, so Cotto is like Tyson's little brother to me. However, I'm not sold on the "smashing" he did on Martinez. First, it should've happened 5 years ago. Second, the knee clearly gave Martinez problems. I still see this fight (Cotto vs. Canelo) as a 50/50 fight. I wanna see where this fight takes place. Will it be in Madison Square Garden, or somewhere in Texas? Who will be the A side in Cotto vs. Canelo?

Forgot about your last question. The venue will be difficult to negotiate, because Cotto will definitely press hard for MSG. Canelo will rather do Nevada or Texas. So that's going to be a tough one to negotiate in terms of venue. And if Cotto concedes, that means Canelo will have to give up something in return. Whether it be more money, or whatever.

And I'm not sure if there can be an A-Side for that fight, they are kinda equals. The only thing though is that Cotto has more leverage on his side because he's Middleweight champion, and Canelo is not. Also, Cotto can tell Canelo to go to hell, because he can potentially negotiate a fight with Mayweather and GGG. Cotto doesn't need Canelo, but Canelo kinda needs Cotto.

It didnt have to be a KO or knockdown. If that one punch is more effective and inflicted more damage than 6 love taps then who would you rather be? The guy who got touched with 6 taps or the one left staggering to the corner after getting rocked with a solid straight right. A punch that Floyd admitted he was hurt by!

Regardless of why, the fact is Martinez took a beating. Shoulda, woulda, coulda, is all that I hear since that fight. Martinez supposedly has terrible knees, but looked fine running across the ring when he wanted to cheap shot Cotto.



I swear, this is part of the problem with commentators. They totally influence people's opinions. I don't see Canelo vs. Cotto as a 50/50 fight. I see it more like 60/40 in favor of Cotto. He's the smarter fighter, more skilled, and is really a southpaw. But Cotto will be the underdog going into the fight.

Did you see Martinez's fight in Argentina? Did that look like the Martinez that beat Paul Williams? This is what happens when you fight someone at the end of their career. You don't get the praise you think you should (not only no praise, but no PPVs too). What do you think will happen if Canelo beats Cotto? Everyone gonna say Cotto was washed up, he lost to Trout and Mayweather, etc. I'm pulling for Cotto, but I'm not sold on his comeback based on the Martinez fight.

I agree. These new age boxing fans are ridiculous. Canelo wants to fight on Cinco De Mayo thats fine. Why can't he fight in his own country then? Why didn't he as for a rematch with Floyd? He knows he would get beat down again. He let Floyd walk him down and almost let Floyd drop him and swole his eye shut smh but now he running his mouth.

He was hurt, but again, it wasn't a knockdown or a knockout. So if you're opponent landed way more clean and effective punches, that guy wins the round easily. Anyone can argue that Maidana was also hurt by the punches he was getting hit with. Maidana was getting schooled that whole round, and suddenly one punch that wasn't a knockdown or a knockout wins him that round? What a joke. You're not scoring a fight, you are scoring favorites.

Well said! I would laugh my ass off, if Cotto told Canelo...Sorry, I'm fighting Mayweather on Cinco de Mayo in NYC! That would be classic!
