And whoever else

Do we feel he will get to 49-0, and possibly 50-0?

Are we impressed about last night's fight?

Even though a lot of people in here were complaining about superfluous shyt, I was impressed by Floyd's performance last night. I think he dominated and did everything he had to do to win. I don't agree with those who say he clenched and danced too much; the strategy he employed made since and it let him coast comfortably to a unanimous decision. While coasting comfortably isn't something most fans crave, I don't get upset when he does it, AS LONG AS he lets his hands go. I am still wow'ed by what he does in the ring, and so I won't let the petty shyt from casual fans or haters sway what I should think about him.

With all that said, I think Floyd's speed and legs are close to being gone. I also think his accuracy is starting to go as well, and that may be because he can't operate at the speed he used to and has to adjust to that. Although his overall speed has slowed considerably, I think he is still the quickest and most precise puncher in boxing.

I hope to Christ his next two fights are Khan and Pacquiao, but I'll settle for Khan and Thurman. Outside of Pacman, Khan gives Floyd the most trouble right now due to his speed and skills, but I think Floyd dominates him. You never know though, Floyd said his defense wasn't good this fight, which kind of contradicts what he said in All Access about it being extremely "tight". I just hope he beats the fukk outta Khan. I borderline hate that nikka.

His accuracy is fine numbers prove that, he played it cautious after he got tag and tried not to lunge in with shots, he was looping rights from the outside.......................

51% is great, I agree. I just feel that his overall accuracy is being effected by his decline in speed. Floyd was throwing BOMBS this fight, and a few of them that would have put Maidana on his back missed.

Numbers dont lie................................Chino does a great job getting low and side stepping, he got caught once lunging in with the straight right and made a adjustment, to loop rights from the outside and utilize his reach, thats a testament to Chino's skill....................

Floyd Mayweather will retire undefeated, and go 50-0 if he chooses to do so.

My problem with him isn't HIM, per se, it's the lack of him fighting the best until he retires. I really enjoyed his fight with Canelo and THAT'S the type of fights/opponents I would like to see him fight.

My personal preference for him, and for his resume/legacy, is to take his next 2 fights against Manny Pacquiao (Floyd beats him the 1st time, rematch him and beats him again to go 49-0) retires and comes back a year later to face and defeat whoever the new RING Champion is at either 147 or 154...whoever's ranked higher on the P4P list.

i think he should retire now.

Madaina isn't a great fighter, wobbled Floyd and busted him up pretty bad with those few shots he landed.

Floyd didn't necessarily hurt Mandaina except to the body... not expecting Floyd to k.o. Mandaina but these younger guys are seemingly walking through Floyd's power. So, it's only a matter time...before he gets caught

I have to watch the fight again, besides the shot that landed after bell sounded, it was pretty much basic mayweather stuff, which was amazing because chino was on his ass, and he avoided the onslaught, while delivering punishment

chino improved a lot under garcia, if he would have started with him, his only losses might only be to floyd, but the ariza factor was there, also chino didn't look that confident walking into the ring, he knew he was gonna lose

I think Floyd should retire after his next two fights, those divisions or stacked, I think he could fight to 50 like hopkins, but he would take some L's along the way

he was missing the pull counter too many times, but I think it had more to do with maidana being prepared for it, even still floyd landed it a lot too

his body work was splendid, it was a pleasure to watch, nobody else is gonna give floyd the type of problems maidana will, which wasn't many to begin with

thurman needs to fight kahn or porter

I have a feeling Floyd's next fight will b pac, or Hopkins at 160

Pacman fight doesn't matter to me anymore. What we would get now pales in comparison of what we would have got in 2009 or 2010.

Why?

He could always play it safe. I don't think Thurman would have anything for him, but you never know. When your reflexes go...:wow: Saying that, I'm not a fan of Thurman, and I think he is overrated. Had Floyd took the Thurman fight last year, it would be easy work for him. And yeah, Floyd's power isn't doing much these days. Last good powershot I saw from him was the uppercut that dazed Canelo.

H said he had a special fight planned in may, this pac shyt is detox status at this point for whatever reason

hopkins is crazy enough to drop down to 160 he already said he would do it, plus it would be his biggest pay day

floyd's beat all the guys, if porter didn't just lose, would say he was next in line of this strength of his victories

Thurman needs to be a guy on his level first to garner the fight like maidana took out broner
