    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.

    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.

    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.
