Did Chino Maidana take something out of Floyd Mayweather? I think there's a chance he did. Please discuss. Or at least vote if you don't wanna post.
Possibly mentally but I wouldn't say physically, floyd now might be wondering how maidana was able to get to him so easily...
a few fighters have been able to "get to him"....cotto at 154( a bigger version of cotto)....maidana and ortiz who are bigger....but they havent been able to do enough floyds hands are brittle...weve known this...his punches can keep your respect at time...but they arent a threat to really hurt you.....you can get to floyd at times over the course of 12...its what you can do when you get there.....which isnt always alot
It's really funny when I read threads like this. People have this perception of Floyd being vulnerable or soft when all the evidence points to the contrary. He hasn't had to often but he's proved that he can take a punch as well as anyone else I doubt a competitive decision win over Maidana will do that much damage to Floyd. More generally, I can't think of any top fighter that this kind of competitive win would have a long term negative effect on...these guys are at the top for a reason, they can take it as well as they dish it out
Floyd's left cheek looked swollen and bruised up. All those over hand rights he took on the cheek bone.
