I'm not sure who gave him the harder fight. Probably Maidana, in terms of how he felt the day after it.
One thing I thought about recently though, (although I could be embarrassingly wrong here) is that Floyd stopped throwing rights to the body after he got clipped and dropped by Judah's blind-side right hook. I really don't think I recall him dipping down and extending himself like that ever again.
Perhaps he decided his athleticism wasn't at that level from that point on
Also, he is starting to neglect his left hook these days. Ever since approx 2010 I'd noticed the leaping hooks (like the one that dropped Marquez) had slowly been replaced with right hooks from a more flat footed stance.
Again, I could be way off but something tells me this is the way of things for Floyd.
