The only way for Maidana to win is if Floyd has gotten old. Maybe Maidana can punch with Floyd and throw right hands in unison with him in order to possibly knock him out but the judges, ref everything will be in Mayweather's favour. I'm more looking forward to Pacquiao Bradley, 2 legitimate prime P4P level guys going at it, it's going to be great.
That description matches Antonio Margarito yet you haters accuse Mayweather of ducking him. Canelo was a much bigger fighter, stronger, much younger, and Super Welterweight Champion. He tried to out think Mayweather and he failed. Had any other Welterweight attempted to dethrone Canelo, it would have been a different story. The world, you haters demanded Canelo. You said he was all hype and then you accuse Mayweather of ducking him. He beats Canelo and all of a sudden it's low risk. It's laughable how you pick and choose.
@INTREPID - So because Pacquiao was peeing blood because of Margarito, that makes it high risk? Wow you are an idiot. Marquez put Pacquiao to sleep, does that make him high risk as well by his standards? Those are not high risk fights by his standards, that's a result of Pacquiao's flaws.
You just said risk is about the chance of your style getting beat by another style. How do you figure just because Margarito was a high risk for Pacquiao (pitiful defense, easy to hit) is high risk for Mayweather (very mobile, very intelligent, counter puncher, legendary defense) You just made no sense. I'll admit Margarito has a better chin, but it doesn't change the fact that he is slow on his feet and with his hands just like Maidana.
no heres why Broner is no mayweather but he fights JUST like him.If Im Maidana Im loving this because he will come in seeing the same style as his last fight.I think Maidana may be able to catch Mayweather because this will almost be round 13 of there last fight.BUT dont get me wrong I am a true believer in Mayweather and still think he will win BUT just on a outside chance maidana wins look at it like this if maidana needed a warm up from someone like Mayweather you couldnt of picked a better fighter than broner.once again Broner is no mayweather BUT Maidanas also no chump he has power and has proven he can hit fast fighters and as you saw last fight UNDER HIS NEW TRAINER hes been taught how to get past the shoulder roll.I really wish mayweather would have not taken this fight
Mayweather really never takes rematches well this isnt a rematch but why fight a guy who has been training for a year to fight fighters who are fast and use the shoulder roll.....maindana also can say UNLIKE MAYWEATHERS PAST OPPONENTS HEY IVE SEEN THIS STYLE BEFORE
THINK FOR A MINUTE......What happens if it wasn't necessarily broner that lost the last fight but more of a smarter Maidana who has figured out the shoulder roll defense
Maidana cannot win the fight, if Devon Alexander is capable of shutting Maidana out (judge: Glenn Feldman 90-100 | judge: John Keane 91-99 | judge: Cesar Ramos 90-100) then Mayweather will likely finish the fight or do likewise.
Khan offered Mayweather a different type of fight, due his hand speed. Probably first fighter he has faced with possibly faster hands than him. Although ultimately the result is gonna be the same as usual.
But at least we have some proper fights lined up this year, Froch v Groves, Cotto v Martinez and Pacquiao v Bradley!
Maidana has a punchers chance. I feel like i have seen this fight 8 years ago but at least he earned it with a big upset win i guess. Him beating Broner reminds me of Baldomir upsetting Judah.
@Anon
Paul Malinaggi, Adrien Broner and Marcos Maidana are not the best welterweights with golden boy [Mayweather aside].
Yes. He's the type of boxer Floyd likes to pick, someone who is average but who is coming off a good win which makes the casual fan think he's taking on the best possible opponent.
Yes. This is no more then a boxing Exhibition Spar for Floyd.
who else on the goldenboy roster would you rather see mayweather fight? broner? paulie malinaggi? maybe a victor ortiz rematch, or maybe luis collazo? Marcos Maidana, although a terrible matchup for Mayweather (bad speed, defense, movement) earned his shot against Mayweather.
yes he is, it's a crap fight.
another slow hands slow feet fighter that will make floyd look superhuman like what canelo did?
