How Do You Rate Floyd's Win Over Maidana?

His win was actually a loss or draw

 

I thought Floyd looked pretty poor in this one; disengaged and much slower than typical. He looked like a totally different guy than the one that got in the ring against Canelo. He should have walked through Maidana... dude is a B level fighter at best. Styles make fights of course, but this looked like either an uninspired effort or as if he lost a step. Maidana is one in a long line of fighters to pressure Mayweather; I don't buy that he did it so much better than others. Would love to see him fight Maidana with the same sharpness he showed against Canelo and Guerrero.

 

Right up there with his "win" over Castillo 1!

 

he struggled to get the W but truly one of his better wins. that was a totally badass chino in there and he was relentless, with nonstop blatant fouls. for Floyd to come back and win was great, nothing less than great.

most of you don't know how bad chino hurt Floyd in the 1st round. huge haymaker overhand looping right that landed on the top side of floyds head. 99% of any fighter up to 154 was going down from that shot.

 

I think Floyd was very lucky to win. He looked awful for a lot of rounds, and ridiculously slow. I don't get how Alexander made maidana look like crap but yet Floyd, who's much much better, couldn't control the guy. I'm baffled. If he looks this bad next fight, he's shot. I just find it hard to believe he aged overnight

 

Spot on.

Floyd looked sharp as hell against Canelo, but I think he needs to wind down his training, IMO. He's probably spent he last 6 out of 9 months in camp.

But yeah, if he doesn't appear to have improved in his next fight, he's done. His age has caught up with him. And I don't think Showtime are gonna settle for easy fights.

I really doubt that he has his '0' by this time next year.

 

Floyd clearly lost that fight.

7-5 or 8-4 for a Maidana win.

 

very predictable was his win. I knew he would win like that, and that some people would think because Maidana won a few rounds as was aggressive, that there would be a controversy. When if you score rounds, Floyd won easily.

 

You're high

 

Best case scenario is this noob.

Round 1 Maidana
Round 2 Maidana
Round 3 Maidana
Round 4 Maidana
Round 5 Maidana ( brutal ownage)
Round 6 Maidana
Round 7 Mayweather
Round 8 Maidana
Round 9 Mayweather
Round 10 Mayweather
Round 11 Mayweather
Round 12 Mayweather

If I scored points for throwing elbows and crying to the ref, Floyd would have won 2 or 3 more rounds.

 

duckweather lost ....

 

Excellent win. It was the best version of a determined Maidana I have seen and Floyd had to adjust down the stretch to gut it out.
