[Master]

I am not excited about this fight. The first fight was not brilliant and All Access is all hype, making the fight out to be a big event when in reality it will be a one sided UD.

Still not sure if I'm going to stay up to watch this, and no doubt Master's right that Mayweather should take the UD fairly comfortably, but you never know what might happen. Money can't keep you young after all.

Tell that to Hopkins.

Better fighters recently have lost to Floyd than Maidana. Floyd took Chino for granted and he will not do the same this time.

I think all fighters have a chance to win. Some big, some small, some in between. Maidana's chances of winning against Floyd is somewhere between small and in-between.

Let's get this right off the bat: Styles makes fights. Maidana's style can bother Mayweather as it had in the first fight. In fact, Maidana's swarming style is the same style that was employed by Zab Judah, Jose Castillo and Emmanuel Agustus- all of whom gave Floyd tremendous trouble. Cotto used a swarm strategy for some portions of the fight as well, with some success.

Let's look at some keys:

1. Keep Floyd's back to the ropes for at least 2 minutes of every round. Especially the last minute of the round. Let the judges see you smother him and hitting him with shots to the liver and crown right at the end of the round.

2. Power through with the straight jab. Sure, you are going to get hit over the top with Floyd's right. But, if you power through with it, with head low and barrelling in- especially paying attention to Floyd's feet as he tries to move right back foot- you have a better chance at creating some opportunities for yourself with throwing Floyd off of his rhythm, at least.

3. Don't let Floyd get set on his back right foot to throw the right hand. This is key. You cant stand in Floyd's wheel-house to throw that right hand to score when he feels like. Do NOT take two of them in a row if you can help it. Keep him moving backwards to his right... taking power off of the right hand by taking away the leverage. Make him throw the left hook- which is his Floyd slowest and most telegraphed punch.

Floyd's left hook is so lazy that it makes me laugh when he tries to throw it.

That's it for me.

A loaded gun?

He'd probably still miss.

49-0 he will never have exceeded marciano
50-0 then 50 cent will say he did it to be like 50 cent

maywether needs to go 51-0 to feel happy inside.

46-1

i dont question his work ethic because he is always in shape but i do think that he has slowly given into temptation that he didnt used to. he is slowly focusing on other things besides the fight in front of him. its understandable since he is older and im sure that it wears on you, but maidana really shouldnt have even make a fight with mayweather. floyd is the exact style that maidana cant handle. i think with age setting in along with bad habits like drugs(im assuming) and fast food, he wont be able to handle the pressure.

this whole time i thought that floyd would for sure win, but now im not so sure. if there were ever a time for me to bet against floyd, its now i think. but who knows, maybe im completely wrong and he will easily win.
