Bradley easily beat Alexander and Mayweather is better than Bradley.
        I think we'd see the difference in levels between them.

            Devon is physically stronger and a better clincher than Floyd. It was easier for him to out muscle Maidana.

            Floyd had a lot more trouble, but also had more success landing solid punches against Chino than Alexander did. Devon scored a very wide decision, but still looked less impressive somehow.

              Discuss.

              -Floyd faced a better version of Maidana then Lex
              -Floyd underestimated Maidana based on the Broner fight.
              -Tony weeks let them brawl a bit more.
              -side note it was actually this fight that made me a Maidana fan.

              Didn't Floyd duck Alexander for Maidana? Or was it Guerrero?
              No.... Floyd tried too fight Lex instead of Guerrero but they're was backlash from fans( some saying Floyd was ducking... lulz) and the WBC ( or maybe IBF) said if you fight we strip you.

                  which maidana fight did floyd look more impressive? the first where he was beat up and recieved a controversial decision or the second where he clinched nonstop and still got clipped hard and badly wobbled?
