The only person who thinks Floyd is the greatest, is Floyd himself. I've never ever ever heard his dad or Roger agree with Floyd.
great of course but I thought he lost to that mexican and who knows what would have happened had Oscar met him at Oscar's prime weight. I see trouble for Floyd
I'm joking a little. 116-112 was indeed my score, but you could get a little closer, maybe even a draw if you stretched. Of course, there were rounds were the landed numbers were close even though Mayweather was landing at a seventy percent clip. Kinda tough for me to favor quantity over that much quality.
Yeah, it was a competitive fight. Hardest one that Mayweather had for a while. Doesn't mean that Maidana came close to winning, though. Had a good early start, but Floyd shaded some of the early rounds through greater accuracy and won pretty much all of the second half of the fight when Maidana started to gas. Draw score is being pretty generous to Maidana given the way the fight unfolded, imo.
He didn't fight a Roberto Duran type at lightweight and I would have liked to seen him tested vs Margaito but that is nit picking. He was lucky vs Castillo in the first fight, but overall he beat as many 10 as men who are or will be in the hall of fame. Excellent.
Even if Mayweather won the fight, imo, I don't think he ever really tamedChino, and that's something he liked to do. Fight can be clear on the cards, and yet still be hard as hell. This was one of those fights. So between speculation about whether Maidana could improve on his performance and Mayweather's ego being bruised, I think a rematch was natural. I'll also acknowledge that some people thought the fight was a bit closer than I personally did. Mayweather knew that, too, so he took the rematch as the opportunity to shut them up.
