I think Floyd gamed the public with this performance.
Now he's gonna cake on a rematch with a guy who the general public really thinks fought an even fight with him.
Floyd knows there aren't anymore names out there if he's not gonna negotiate with Arum. He won't fight the young beastly nigs(i.e. Porter) because the money don't justify the risk for him at this point.
He was voluntarily going to the ropes from the start of the fight. Maidana was competitive, but not really landing anything clean or effective the whole night. His best shots were illegal ones and he didn't hurt Floyd the whole night. Floyd said he could've boxed, moved, stayed in the middle of the ring and won a boring fight easily. Coming off his Canelo performance, there's nothing to insinuate he couldn't have done that.
I think Maidana's awkwardness made it tough on Floyd to counter in the beginning and Floyd should really make it a point to get off first at times. He wasn't as offensive minded as he should have been, but still clearly beat dude. Roy was in a war for his life with Tarver the 1st fight. There is no parallel at all. Also Roy would've washed Tarver in the 2nd fight if he wasn't so over confident and leaving himself open like he did. He fought that fight like he did the second Griffin fight where he was out to prove a point. Roy came in like a madman and let Griffin land some haymakers on him as well, he just wasn't phased by it.
