only way to beat Mayweather is by KO, anyone think different?

I guess i'm the only one who thinks what we saw tonight was horseshit. thats cool tho. u floyd nuthuggers can have yer idol. im done with his dirty, sleazy trickster tactics. all the money floyd makes and he gives his fans a 12th rd like that running? did u not hear the boo's? u people really think THAT wins fights? ha ha.... floyd almost had to be carried back to the dressing room.

yes, maidana blew it. but what fighter wouldnt get frustrated by your target running like that the whole fight, or a REF who wont let you work inside, when that is your style whatever.

It was a shit fight.


Maidana was clearly NOT as up for the fight, hungry or motivated.


However, let's review:


Floyd got HIS gloves.


Floyd got a HUGE ring.


Floyd got HIS ref.


I normally like Bayless a lot. Best ref out there imo, but tonight...fuck me. Breaking every single time, plus the point deduction and the "I don't know what he did but next time its a DQ"

Of course Floyd called all the shots. He's the undefeated Champion who has dominated for 18 years. Maidana is a B level fighter who should be happy to be getting his biggest payday for the second fight in 4 months. Maidana showed tonight why he will never be great. He didn't even try until the 9th round. A pretty pathetic effort on his part. Floyd fought exactly how we expected him to. It was Maidana who let us down tonight.

It is difficult to knock out Floyd when he can tell you what gloves you can wear, who will be the ref and your fighting in his house.

You need to be a prime Hearns to stand a chance.

Yep.

Too bad Maidana has knockdown power at 147 not knockout power.

Maidana was wearing the custom flat Everlasts. He got beat and much worse then the first time and the point deduction and bite gate made no difference whatsoever.

It was an ugly fight but Maidana is the one that initiated all the horse shit and lets face it that's the only chance he had of winning. An ugly fight.

Some people want Floyd to lose so bad that they simply make shit up or like Jim Lampley see things during fight time that are not there and calling punches that were not even thrown. Ugly ass fight that Floyd still won 8 rounds to 4 at worst.

One thing I will say on Floyd is that he's lost something and I had been saying that through the entire buildup and it seemed more mental to me then physical which in my view can effect the physical. He seemed to get his mojo back at the weigh in and looked like a man on a mission at fight time but I think that was fronted. I think he has some real issues upstairs and its mixing with his hubris.

He might want to think about getting an outside trainer. His old man never gave him one coherent message in the corner last night or one bit of actual in fight boxing advice unless you include "we got this"

Floyd is thinking of retirement and has one foot outside the ring. He does not like the pain and hurt but likes to pick up the big cheque. Floyd will not knock out anyone again.

Andrade would give Floyd hell.

He's a tall, rangy, fast southpaw who can box and has a good jab.

You keep saying that but has he shown he can do it at the top level?

[Spicoli]

Floyd def wasn't Floyd. He looked mentally shook, even in the interview. He has no business considering full middle or 154 at this stage unless he is looking at the exit door. I think he and Manny are a certainty
