Mayweather is no Broner. He was able to keep Hatton away, he'll make Maidana look like he's stuck in the mud.
I have no idea how in the world we're questioning whether or not Mayweather's footwork is good enough to contend with Marcos freaking Maidana.
Originally posted by DLT View PostIm not unfairly downplaying Maidana. Im a big fan of his but you act like Floyd isnt an ATG. One guy is and one guy isnt. You keep bringing up Khan & Broner but they arent half as good as Floyd. Floyd is the worst possible matchup in boxing for Maidana. Its a horrible style mismatch. He would look silly. He's probably the easiest fight for Floyd around the weight class

Marcos is offensive minded and he cant fight going backwards. Floyd is going to stand in the pocket and overpower Marcos like he did Canelo. Canelo is twice as big and strong as Marcos and Floyd manhandled him and was the aggressor. Floyd has gotten bigger and stronger since leaving jail so I expect it to be like the Canelo fight but way worse. Marcos is a small little dude who is too weak for Floyd.
As far as Marcos' angles, Floyd makes adjustments. He is able to bodyscan an opponent after a few rounds, then he knows what angles their punches will come from. The fact that Marcos throws those wild shots will not matter. Notice how Broner was walking Marcos down and pushing him back. It will be identical to that but way worse.
One thing I want to point out is that against Canelo, anytime Canelo got frustrated Floyd started retreating to let the big boy blow off some steam. But against Marcos, since he's so much weaker than Floyd, Floyd is not going to care about any of that. Floyd is going to wrestle with Marcos and use his 'Grown-Man-Strength' to force him around. Floyd also walked Ortiz down. Floyd wrestled with Ortiz more so than he did with Canelo. The Floyd who fought Ortiz is allot weaker than the buffed up Floyd who fought Canelo. And Marcos, at ww, is allot smaller and weaker than Ortiz at the time he fought Floyd.
Some wont agree with this but I expect Floyd to stop Marcos. Yea Marcos has a chin but allot are not really taking heed to Floyd's newfound power and force. The Floyd who slapped up JMM would not have the power to buckle Ghost and cut his eye. That Floyd would be WAAAY too weak to walk down Canelo. But ask yourself this; Can Marcos walk down Canelo?
No way.
Marcos is too small, slow, wild, weak, and defenseless for Floyd. Expect him to go backwards all night. Expect Floyd to put on a show.
