    148 isn't enough against Maidana. A lot of that fight had to do with Maidana just laying on him the whole fight. Very good matchup but clear win for Floyd.

    He was outweighed by 17 pounds tonight and would be outweighed by Amir by 13 too if they fought tonight. (Khan was 161)

    In the rematch he either needs to put on more weight or really let his hands go and keeps the fight in the center of the ring .

    I thought it was a Draw and I also think that putting on more weight would be a big mistake for Mayweather. He needs to move around and putting on more weight would likely make him more stationary and put him on the ropes more.

    nah. He started getting off first rather than waiting to counter around the 6th round. Biggest adjustment he made IMO. IT made Maidana more hesitant to come in and fire recklessly

    it would put him at a serious disadvantage if he did, he'd feel Maidana's breath on his neck for 36 minutes
