In the post-fight, Maidana did not say that Floyd didn't fight like a man. He said that Floyd has never fought a man like him, it was just terrible work from the translator.
thats your problem. you are comparing this to his other fights when he only fought one Maidana. his ring generalship was good enough to tire Maidana out. Floyd got draws because when a fighter wins rounds against a fighter who normally doesnt lose many then he gets more credit for how well he did according to his abilities as to how effective he actually was. if Floyd was hurt or his head was getting snapped back, thats different. I hear what you are saying about the judges but its all subjective as hell. SRL said when he beat Hagler it wasnt that his punches were harder but they sounded louder to the judges. and what happened to the judge that scored the last fight a draw?
good call
once again...thats the basic premise. Floyd uses defense in a myriad of ways. one is to set up his opponent for counters. he does this by not only blocking but pulling his head back to slip. his defense is his offense. he has a catch-and-counter style. defense aint just about covering up breh
Yeah, that's what Im saying.
Garcia is a good fighter, but so is Broner. Garcia may be a little bit better and even though I would favor him in their fight as of today, demolish is too strong of a word imo.
Garcia is a slow puncher, not aggressive in his punching output, doesn't use too much movement = favors Broner
Broner doesn't move his head enough, stands right in front of you, hard to hit clean, but when he does get hit...its over the top and flush = favors Garcia
Garcia can drop Broner and is a very good counter puncher (which means counter left hooks will be served up, plus over the top lefts). Broner can beat Garcia to the punch and dictate the pace of the fight do to Garcia liking to wait on his opponent to press the action in order to counter.
Real good fight and one I'd like to see. Garcia would be my pick today, but I wouldn't be surprised if AB won

Chinos stamina was alot better vs Floyd
Vs AB Chino had jus started working with Ariza N he gassed towards the end badly
Floyd was ripping shots to Chinos body (AB never did) N Maidana was still energized

this is true. if his stamina was like that in the last fight, he'd stop AB. (given he fought the same way)

I know the ring generalship was good "enough" thats why I scored the fight in favor of Floyd and yes it was ass compared to most of his fights. Only made that observation to make a point of how close the fight was compared to his other fights at WW..
The bolded is not even conjecture.. its bullshyt.. If Floyds opponent wins a round the judge can give them all the extra credit possible the score is still only gonna say 10-9 whether or not he was dominant or he barely skated by in that round..

Floyd Mayweather, Andre Ward and Guillermo Rigondeaux are the only A+ fighters today.
Manny Pacquiao is an A fighter...hes not at their level anymore.
Canelo is B+ at this time, lets see how he does against Lara (I expect him to win, but if he dominates him....he's an A fighter)
Marcos Maidana is a B fighter who currently fights at a B+ level with Garcia and Ariza in his corner
I shoulda said relevenat Elite nikkas. Not some bums who fight in bingo halls
