How am I down playing Floyd's performance?

Manny beat a better fighter 9-3 in the 1st fight and 8-4 in the 2nd fight.....Floyd won at MAX 7 rounds against a lesser fighter in Maidana.

If Pac was in there instead of Floyd and the same thing happened, nikkas would be talking bout Pac's washed up and looked average as fukk:sas2:

well, I know I sound like I am swaying but I dont look at things that way. I dont think Prov is better than Maidana. if that was Maidana...I think Bradley wouldve loss. One thing I never waver on is that I dont believe Bradley is as good as you guys think he is. Only a top fighter due to attrition and big names in JMM and Pac. Bradley is good, but he really only has a slight edge over a guy like Maidana. Bradley to me is B+, Maidana is B. Plus consider the styles. Its not as easy comparing these last fights of Floyd and Manny.

not me. certain styles just cause problems. there is a reason why I dont believe we will see Manny vs Prov.

idgaf what you are giving Floyd. he was never in any real danger of losing this fight past the early rounds where you had to give Maidana those rounds because he outworked and outlanded.

:camby: foh with that draw or 2 points the other way shyt

Man you sound like a real idiot right now breh..If Maidana was outlanding and outworking Floyd in the first half, how was Floyd not in any danger of losing... that shyt could've easily been scored

115-113 in favor of Floyd or Maidana

Last night was the first time I saw floyd as not having the same physical strength as his opponent. I think that hurt him from getting out from the ropes at first. 8-4 Floyd my first score, gonna re-watch later today.

because Floyd was winning the majority of the rounds after Maidana's arms got heavy. He only did well while he was fresh....after that he was getting beat. Maidana didnt sweep shyt. I aint talkin to u anyway cuz u dont know shyt about boxing. no fukkin way I am giving a draw to a guy who doesnt even land a 1/3 of his punches while the other guy lands 2/3 unless the guy landing least is killing the other dude. Floyd was never in any peril. Only in jeapardy of losing on cards of dipshyts like you who say percentage dont matter, when if you knew anything about boxing you would know it is directly relative to clean punching and ring generalship.

you have to struggle real hard to give MM 6 rounds knowing damn well he lost every second of the fight in the middle of the ring. so the rounds where he lost when Floyd was on the ropes automatically get chalked up to Floyd.

On another note, nikkas thought I was lying when I said Marcos Maidana is better than Lucas Matthysse with Robert Garcia in his corner:sas1:


Matthysse struggling with John Molina while Maidana was giving that work to Floyd:sas2:


That AB loss to Maidana doesn't look as bad anymore. Broner won 5 rounds at max against Maidana (3, 5, 6, 7, and 12). ...TBE won 7 rounds at Max.


Maidana with Robert Garcia is a problem brehs:manny:


He's a B fighter, but the pressure and volume punching he applies takes his talent up to a B+

Did anybody think last night fight felt like jones vs tarver 1?
Click to expand...

I did. I thought Roy won that too because in the center of the ring he beat Tarver. Tarver got more credit because it looked like he was doing something against the ropes. Roy was never in danger in that fight like he was in the 2nd or 3rd. nikkas be giving too much credit to dudes just because they are more active not taking into consideration 2/3 of punches are getting blocked.
