Why are people impressed with floyd? (last fight)
Ok floyd barely beat a B+ class fighter in maidana his first fight and the second fight he beat him again, and it was not impressive at all imo. I mean wtf, yall he beat maidana.....Mai fucking dana. A walking brain fart with zero speed. Floyd didnt stagger or even hurt maidana.
PLease someone let me know why they are impressed with a win against a guy who has loses to normal fighters. I hope those boo's i heard during the fight are people realizing their hero is a punk bitch.
One thing floyd did do was get a good cardio workout.
Re: Why are people impressed with floyd? (last fight)
I understand he is good, but he has done nothing impressive his last few fights. too me i see, lots of runnning, handpicked fights, and him not hurting anyone. his last 8 fights have been against people he had a 100% chance of winning.....cause he picked em

Boo Hoo!
Re: Why are people impressed with floyd? (last fight)
What stood out to me the most out of the fight was when Maidana ducked Floyds lead right and countered with an overhand hitting Floyd flush at the end of round 3. He had Floyd hurt there and it looks like Floyd is looking more and more beatable. In an interview with a Spanish channel after the fight he said he no longer had a passion for the sport but that it was more of a job to him
Re: Why are people impressed with floyd? (last fight)
well are you asking if we were impressed compared to what we have come to expect of floyd? because that would be a no. floyd definitely looked a little off during the fight and he even admitted it afterwards. maidana is a good fighter but not great. it was a good win and he won convincingly. i dont think that most people are super impressed with this win. i think that it was a good win with a fighter that he would have beaten a lot easier 5 years ago.
Re: Why are people impressed with floyd? (last fight)
I wouldnt buy into one of his fights, I forget the last time I did, I wish the whole world would do the same thing, then he'd have to fight the top seed.
I spent yesterday coughing into a bucket,it was much more fun than watching Floyd do it easy (even for free via a link).
Last time he impressed me was against Marquez say what you want no one else could make JMM look wanting not even in his close fights against Manny.
Seems like they are still flaunting that hope so some keep buying into the hype.
Floyd Mayweather says he isn't evading Manny Pacquiao
Re: Why are people impressed with floyd? (last fight)
Hes looking beatable because of one punch landing at the end of the third?
You do realise there was another 9 roumds where Floyd lamded at will?

Said it before and will say it again, this practice is corrupt. I hope he gets his last two fights and retires...
I don't wish to see him back in the sport. He has done enough. Only wish to see him back in the sport under different terms- terms that dictates who he fights and where.
Floyd at this time is doing more harm to the sport than good. He simply is exploiting the corrupt pockets of the sport and turning them into victories for himself.

I agree, He was wobbly as shit after that punch landed. I watched it a few times. Maidana shouldve rushed him during the next round, cause floyd was woozy.
If its a job to him now, he laying thast ground work to have an excuse if he looses

Not because of one punch but because someone like Maidana who is alot slower then Floyd and is not known for his counter punching or timing was able to Time a lead right from the P4P king who is supposed to have some of the fastest hands in the sport. Plus after that punch Floyd seemed to age 5 years beginning the next round. Imagine what someone with faster hands and timing would have done. Floyd also stated he might wait not fight in May and might wait till next September maybe fighting more regularly is taking its toll.
Re: Why are people impressed with floyd? (last fight)
He wasn't impressive compared to what we expect from Floyd but that might be due to Maidana being an awkward fighter and also the fact that he has improved alot under Robert Garcia.
Maybe Floyd's age and him fighting twice a year is taking its toll.

Re: Why are people impressed with floyd? (last fight)
Agreed, I fooled myself into thinking it was going to be an exciting fight. I expected Maidana to be on top of Floyd. Instead it reminded me of Floyd's fight with "The Ghost". I payed for the damn fight but to be honest it wasn't that bad as its an excuse to get together.Floyd did look half interested but it was domination. His hand speed and foot work are still beautiful. The way he screws about in the twelfth round really posses me off. I've seen much more boring Floyd fights than exciting. At least Maidana 1 had some excitement. Floyd should fight Manny so we can have a Floyd fight to get excited about.

Exactly, it was one bloody punch...most fighters get hit with loads of them every fight...Floyd made it look easy all fight and dominated Maidana in easier fashion than last time. He didn't look beatable in the slightest...Who would beat him whos about?? Nobody!!! Haters always will look for things to hate on..But Floyd will reach 50-0 I have no doubts about that.

I dont think he's beatable either in this latest era (If he was outpointed they wouldnt give his flag over to who earned it anyway) we all know that! It is Ko or nothing thats why Manny is the only hope for a few rounds. Floyd is now boring to watch against normal fighters he can turn skill over into smart spoiler mode now.
He was /is the undisputed King, but the King is dead long live the King,is a true expression. Bring on the next one,stop paying this one in some false hope that theres a dying dragon with a deadly tail up some Philippine mountain that he could go and slowly take apart over 12 rounds, but eh instead we have to put up with a plodding finish to some new unbeaten record and get to hear all about the greatness. Fuck the money.

I think he almost got caught with the same one a couple of times in the first fight too. We'll see in the next fight if it was age or his weariness of Maidana's style. Or a bit of both. He looked damaged after both fights anyway.
Re: Why are people impressed with floyd? (last fight)
Well I wasn't impressed because I said from the get-go this would happen: Floyd would make the adjustments and it would be a much easier and less interesting fight.
In Floyd's defence... he's nearly 38 years old and he's fighting guys like Maidana who not only are much younger and in their physical primes, but have sizeable weight advantages on him. That impresses me, because regardless of what people think about Maidana as a fighter, he is strong as fuck and he's incredibly awkward.
Re: Why are people impressed with floyd? (last fight)
I am not impressed by Floyd at all. The only time I have been impressed by Floyd at this weight has been his recovery of the right hands he took from Shane.
Maidana brought his best game but he is limited and has been beaten by lesser fighters more comprehensively than Floyd did.

Yea it was one punch. Floyd did recover and run...i mean win the fight easily. My issue is what happens when he fights a fighter who he cant escape from that contiues to land those bombs? A fighter who doesnt let him off the hook. Floyd is getting old, manny is also getting old....so I think now is still a good time for them to fight, and I dont think floyd will be able to run from manny all night....unless manny catches some cramps from chasing him.
