Dude is 37. he looked his age. from here on out he will be in close fights or perhaps lose.
yea. maidana deserves a lot of credit for floyd's issues, but floyd looked flat out lethargic on saturday. even in the middle of the ring when he was pot shotting he looked sluggish. both with his hands and on his feet. he just didn't look sharp at all. he was throwing wide looping ass punches that sometimes landed only cause maidana didn't even bother to get the fukk out the way.

:mjlol: at the idea of Floyd avoiding Khan.

when was the last time floyd fought someone as fast as him with bigger reach and more power? mayweather isnt a puncher hes not gonna starch khan like prescott and garcia. its a very interesting style matchup. id pay to watch that that.

he didnt look his age against canelo. he just fought an ugly fighter and looked like shyt.
no he looked his age in that fight as well. Canelo try to box him and dont know how to apply pressure well.

a mix of both for sure though...

How do you look like shyt while landing 65% of your power punches, but your opponent gets credit for landing only 34% of his:camby:

watch the fight not the shostats or compubox bullshyt. those numbers are so inaccurate every fight its laughable quite frankly.

I think Floyd tried to "PBF" Maidana at the beginning of the fight, but that fighter is dead at 37 years old.


Once he started fighting like "Money" mayweather, he took control of the fight and started landing cleaner and easier while being hit less.


The rematch is all "Money" Mayweather domination:manny:
As far as PBF goes That fighter was very alive vs Canelo breh, Floyd just understood to beat the current Maidana you have to go into the doghouse and fight him off of you, you arent gonna outbox someone who hits super hard, is super dirty and throws 100 punches a round.....



SN: It was evident Floyd had no stick here, his left hand was hurt here, even turned southpaw a few times, the heavy jab that was there for Canelo wasn't present here, I felt that contributed to the game plan also

into the doghouse for the victory for the awkward Augustus.

Bingo.

Maidana's awkwardness and I think Floyd wasn't all there mentally. It took him a bit longer to "figure out" Maidana than it should have imo. I think all the fukkery might have gotten to him a bit, look at how he was reacting to that cut, I've never seen Floyd act that way. Cotto busted up his nose and he was like :hmm:. Even after the cut was closed dude was still worrying about it.

You think I need compubox to see how cleanly Floyd was landing?:comeon:


Maybe you need to watch the fight breh....Floyd was sharp as fukk with his punches.


Defensively, he didnt look all that great because of all the mauling/holding/clinching that Maidana was doing (while being almost 20 lbs heavier), but offensively, Floyd was landing that much cleaner shots.....easily.


On another note, Floyd came in the ring at 148....1 pound over welterweight. Maidana came in that bytch as a SMW and he still couldnt hurt Floyd in there:sas2:


A SMW cant hurt a WW?:sas2:


Floyd has an excellent chin.

I felt he was figuring Maidana out until the cut happened, handicapping him for 2 rounds......Had there been a good ref, he would have broke the fighters up and let the doctors at ringside close the cut caused by the accidental butt instantly........


I dont want to see Weeks in a world class fight anymore

This................Floyd was razor sharp, as accurate as he's ever been landing close to 60%.......Maidana's relentlessness simply matched Floyds sharpness and it turned the fight into a competitive barn burner....

Weeks was fukking horrible nikka was ALWAYS in the wrong position the whole fukking fight :what:

I still don't think Floyd was all there mentally though this is the same guy that got hit with a low blow and was watching a Royal Rumble in the ring like :hmm: but a headbutt that was quickly closed had him worried for a few rounds. :wtf:

Khan aint shyt breh........

Just stop.....................................


His jab and speed has diminished greatly.......Hunter put a cap on what made Khan great, now he's simply a boring fighter thats gets buzzed in the process of boring victories, Devon Alexander esqe
