    I'm a fan of Floyd, but it's all downhill from here on, and deep down I believe Floyd believes it too.
    He wasn't that slow and I didn't see a lack or reflexes.

    He was elusive and dodged so many of those huge swinging overhands.

    And tbh your type (idiots) have been saying this for a few years now. Let it go.
    You say tomato,
    ‘n I say …… it correctly.

    Floyd just chose to fight more aggressive fight and he will elect to box and run in the rematch. Floyd will win at a canter next time.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Agree. He'll get Maidana better in rematch and this thread will be rendered irrelevant.

    I hate it when you agree with me. Please try not to do it often.

    I have no seen the fight yet and tomorrow evening if I don't screw up the timer by mistake I will have the ammunition I need for this thread. I don't like Floyd but he is good> He works hard and puts his money where his mouth is. Chino works hard too but he doesn't have Floyd's background. He came to fight like the Rock. From the highlights I saw he did a good job but that was only highlights. Floyd was in a different fight and may have been confused but Floyd although I don't really care for him, did what he had to do and made adjustments. Maidana on The other hand tried something most of Floyd's opponents don't do, work behind a jab to get inside and worked the body causing Floyd to fight the way he did. He won and it might have been closer than those two other clowns called judges had it. Floyd's night was probably slightly off but as one sports announcer said,"Floyd is the most well preserved 37year old fighter around. In other words if he did lose a step it's because he wasn't dancing to his usual music this particular evening. One more thing, Chino is very awkward, just ask Broner.

    Sleepwalker has been a bit over dramatic.

    Um Mayweather throw half the punches and still landed more then Madina did. He dodge 630 of the 848 thrown i say the reflexes are just find you don't get points for hitting arms and missing. I have no problem with a rematch but 90 percent of people though he won the fight no robbery or anything. I mean out of the media and most sites it is overwhelming for Mayweather as a win and he only gets better. I think he can make the adjustments and make it more onesided and win with 100 percent thinking he won the fight and people asking why Mayweather even fought the guy again after word.
