Will Mayweather try to stop Maidana or go for another decision win?

"Floyd why did you not go for the knock out?"

"because my hands hurt"

"Floyd, did you win the fight?"

"Yes, by any means possible".

I love to see floyd throw a few more combos but it just doesnt happen.

He moves, he picks shots and he defends..it just works.

As long as he wins, im happy.

If he starts going for the ko then he leaves himself more open than usual..why should he risk that and risk his health even more.

Great boxer beats a great fighter every time.

Interesting take. I like Floyds style but whether he wins or loses doesn't effect me. Perhaps it's because my favorite fighters of my youth always seemed to lose their biggest fights. That used to crush me. Now I'm more concerned with the fight than the outcome of the fight.

Floyd will win on points that is his priority to keep the money rolling. If he steps it up he could stop Maidana but I doubt he will. The most aggressive I have seen Floyd fight recently was against Cotto because he was determined to get a stoppage and pressed the action and took chances. He only did that because he knew Cotto was damaged goods. I hope and pray Maidana lands the big punch.

No, I don't think he will.

I think a lot of people are seriously underestimating Maidana.

Maidana being seriously underestimated is a fact!
I don't think he is the one that can beat Floyd though. For what it's worth, I didn't think he had a chance against Broner either.

Maidana throws punches from crazy angles and that's his biggest weapon vs Floyd. People think Broner just sucks and Maidana beat him by just throw shots... no, if you watch every punch that caught and hurt Broner were weird power punches that came from a crazy angle or even changed direction mid punch.

Floyd has slowed down some over the years, he can't move like he used to, so I think it is a more legit fight than people are thinking.

The way people talk about Maidana/Floyd is the same way they talked about Broner/Maidana, "Oh Maidana is tailor-made for Broner, stupid fight, ect".

I don't think Maidana is going to beat Floyd but he is always a threat in there with his power.

I think if the opportunity presents itself he'll go for it but he of course isn't going to force the issue. There is no comparison with Maidana v Broner really as everyone knew Broner was showing to be a pocket fighter who wasn't hard to miss. Besides, he is Broner. Floyd is going to get Maidana on a leash and snap it with Maidana walking in...give some line slack and then stand him on his heels.
