I agree,i was just picturing a tall lanky nikka getting whooped which is what i think would happen. But naw they dont fight alike at all. Nor does maidana fight like hearns or leonard. And nothing about maidana's dirty fight makes believe either of them would beat floyd.breh u buggin with that one. only thing hearns and chico had in common was that they were both tall in the weight class. in terms of skill and ring iq i fuks with chico but hearns was on another tier. unlike chico, hearns was big guy who KNEW how to fight tall and use his jab. the thing that fukked chico up, was that he just tried to just walk floyd down without setting anything up trying to land something huge.
word, i dislike when people put these mythical matchups with floyd against welterweights/middleweights of the past, when he's naturally a 130-135 pounder. it seems like nikkkas just make the most bullshyt fantasy matchups to argue how floyd would lose. some of the shyt on boxingscene is fukkery, floyd vs rjj at 155 catchweight, floyd vs hagler at 160![]()
when i first got on here i made a post that carlos baldomir was one of the hardest fights floyd has ever had which a lot had disagreed with because floyd won that fight by a shut out but that doesnt mean that it was an easy fight. that fight was hard because of the way a lot of argentine fighters like to come forward with the right hand and what that means for floyd because of the way he likes to defend right hands. when fighters get ready to throw a right hand at floyd it causes floyd to prepare to go through the process of bending back and twisting away and curling that front shoulder which is to say it freezes him into a defensive state. so by coming forward and threatening to throw right hands so much its forces floyd to have to do this constantly or to have to take a step back which causes him to get pushed back to the ropes a lot.so what are all this over hand rights doing, missing that's what

thats not something maidana can do to any fighter, but is something he can do to floyd, just because of the way floyd defends from right hands. thats something from the carlos baldomir fight where floyd was being frozen a lot and pushed back a lot just by the way carlos baldomir and a lot of argetine fighters like to come in and what doing this does to floyd. maidana doesnt need to hit floyd with the right hand he just has to show it to freeze him or push him around the ring and thats what good ring generalship is which has to be scored. just because he was missing a lot of punches you have to score that work he was doing to push floyd back to the ropes so he could win those parts and pieces of rounds by throwing a lot of shots when he got him there. this is a hard style for floyd to fight because of what floyd is and what maidana is and the way the styles clash and i think they should rematch. ray robinson had jake lamotta and ray leonard had roberto duran. great fighters should have rivals.
in the second half of the fight i thought that maidana was trying to steal rest a lot by being inactive in the center of the ring and just try to fight in spurts and thats what brought floyd back in the fight. he should have never went to the ropes when there was no reason to do it and giving maidana a chance to work without having to earn it. you take away those pieces and parts of rounds that maidana was throwing punches with floyd against the ropes and you have a white wash. in a rematch with maidana he has to keep turning him and never stay on the ropes even when he gets pushed back when maidana is creating pressure. he has to fight like the ropes are hot. he has to fight the kind of fight ray robinson fought in the st valentines day massacre and i agree it should be an easy fightbecause I latter part of the fight he decided not to do it anymore and that was that
matter of fact only time Maidana would open up was when he backed up onto he ropes, notice Floyd is already turtling up before Maidana does anything, he's inviting him to do it.
Ariza is that nikka
Maidanas conditioning N ability to eat punches was better then ever before..
Floyd in 10 oz gloves hurt Cotto N Chino was never phased N kept coming forward
Ariza made nikkas forget bout Khans lack of chin
Ariza had JCC Jr ripped N fighting like Maidana times 10
Ariza had Manny throwing 1800 punches a fight

why are floyd stans on super defense mode. floyd won. it was close. competitive. he got touched. maidana's style gave him hell. but at the end of the day, floyd won. he doesn't have to dominate every single time. he has weaknesses just like every other fighter. people really in here saying maidana didn't land anything....floyd himself said maidana hurt him. floyd himself said it was a close fight. posting gifs of every single missed punch maidana threw doesn't disprove that. I personally thought floyd would beat the shyt out of maidana...but I just gotta take my hat off to the chino...dude went in there with the best fighter in the world and gave him all he could handle. he deserves all the praise he's getting.
So you throw bradley/pac 1 under the bus as if the judge's couldn't have possibly been correct....then throw shade on those who reviewed the fight and had bradley winning? Make up your mind breh
Anywhom 116-112 or 117-111 Floyd works for me
You my boy @Newzz but for all the bullshyt you've typed you still score a 8-4/9-3 fight 7-5 to big up AB, shyt is really sad mayne
The post I made wasn't even shytting on floyd, it was bigging up maidana for giving him a tough fight but coming up short. and to your dikk riding self....that's hating. thats precisely why you see legit boxing fans in here pulling the "elitist" shyt. anybody who can watch that fight and not admit maidana gave floyd a tough fight is just not a true fan of the sport.he caught Floyd a couple times but he was barely landing anything which is why he was frustrated and throwing lowblows like he was jabbing. Go rewatch the fight. I did, and I can't believe I scored it 116-112
You are known as a Floyd hater breh, since your sohh days. No surprise here. We know you negga
