    Mayweather getting his @ss kicked by undersized b level, Khan victim Maidana was surely the death knell of the idea that he is some upper level ATG. Can you imagine SRL needing to even break a sweat to beat MM?

    Yeah and probably why Mayweather ducked Maidana conquerors Amir Khan and Devon Alexander

    Bare in mind, Roid Da 5' 9" wouldn't even allow Maidana to wear his choice of gloves.

    I wouldn't argue about the Castillo fight since you can make a really strong point that he lost that fight, but i have to say this, what happens when you either have a close fight or a controversial decision?, you have a rematch, the rematch happened and what happened in that fight?.
    Now with the Maidana fight, there is now way Maidana won that fight, he started well and won clearly the first 2/3 rounds, after that he faded and lost most of the rounds, even Maidana thought he lost, he later said he won just to sell the fight, but he openly said it was close but that he lost and was happy with his performance. Again, what happens when you have a close fight?, you have a rematch, what happened in the rematch?.

    Actually, he didn't. Roid the 5' 9" said no fight if he wore his usual gloves. The punch that rocked Roid at the end of 3 would have KO'd him if Maidana had his punchers gloves.

    Actually you are wrong, Maidana was giving interviews all the week to combate space and he told Abraham Larena that he would use his costum gloves.
    Also if Maidana was a such a huge puncher why couldn't took Floyd out with 10 oz gloves, no matter the brand, huge punchers are always huge punchers, isn't GGG using grants as well as Wlad?, wasn't Matthyse using everlasts?, Maidana was happy with his performance and he wasn't crying about his gloves unlike the Floyd's haters.

    No-one who knows how to score a fight had Maidana winning.

    The Castillo fight could have been scored 115-113 to either guy or a draw.

    I hear what you're saying but you are missing one important point and that is; The aficionados that count ruled that Mayweather won. Whats to discuss?, how many different ways you can hate on the man.
