Has Floyd Really Slipped or Was Maidana a Cherrypick Gone Wrong???

Both, but mostly I'd say cherry pick gone wrong. Floyd hadn't been in too many wars, while Chino seems to only be getting better.

 

Well if you count getting hurt or hit by bigger guys "wars", then wouldn't Floyd Cotto, Mosley, and Maidana be "wars" for Floyd? Or is it because Pac is a microscopic ww, and if he cut back to 2 meals a day, he could fight at 120?

I don't get why Pac can't do wrong and had to be better than everyone at everything.. Especially when you're comparing him to Floyd...

 

Neither?
Floyd won both fights, it was a cherry pick gone right, just in the 1st fight the ref allowed some action and was pretty neutral.
Floyd fixed that in the 2nd fight and paid off Penny Bayless.

 

Nope, didn't slip one bit. Make no mistake, 38 years old Mayweather is definitely prime Mayweather.

By the way, do you think he'll duck Khan, or will he cherrypick him, thus ducking everyone else from Featherweight to LHW? :think You seem perfectly impartial and knowledgeable, I'm sure your input on this would be most enlightening.

 

Damn that Kenny Bayless, jumping in whenever one of the dirtiest fighters in the game committed a foul. It's like that jackass thought keeping the fight clean and fair was his job or something. What in the world was that ******* thinking? atsch

 

i don't think maidana got enough credit for this fight.....

Granite chin (no KDs to my memory, from the face at least)
Much bigger than floyd
Was able to impose his physicality on floyd
Extremely awkward style for his size
Under rated athletically (solid foodwork, solid speed, very coordinated)
Floyd fought MAIDANAS fight in the first fight


I think all of these factors allowed Maidana to be very competitive in the first fight. Had nothing to do with Floyd slipping. Floyd pretty much shut him out of the 2nd fight minus 1 moment where floyd got countered.

 

sure he did, Floyd always underestimates opponents. the 1st fight he wasn't mentally prepared due to all miss hoe jacksons BS

you're a complete imbecile if you truly cant see the difference in Floyd and pacs decline..

\more than half the wars you listed up there are far below many of floyds on one sided fights.

shoot, morales was half dead in the 2nd fight, never mind fighting him again. dude was collapsing trying to make weight when pas was the BIGGER fighter. their bodies responded different. morales needed to be at 140 at that time. he was NOT just drained he was drained and fighting too low at that particular time..

morales taking a beating from Raheem was a war, moralres v chino was a war...

jmm4 might be the best thing that happen to him, being aware of danger in the ring, which makes him much better himself. a much more dangerous fighter..

and jmm ? he outboxed him as a much smaller man, climbing weight classes to finally catch him. If you like you can have the jmm 2 fight.

how is his punch resistance gone now ? he was KO'd bad 2 times early in his career by small light hitting nobodies...
he didnt get pummeled for 10 rounds then get ktfo like hatton, he was caught clean twice
got up once and went to sleep the next one...

If you take pac right now, he would have a good shot at ko'ing any version of peak pac.
its possible he is a better fighter NOW since he isn't as wild and he thinks while in the ring.
for one thats a huge part of pacult nation......

it looks like pac lost more than he has to the naked eye, because he isnt just throwing 100+ power shots per round.
this rookie is by design, pac is trying to be more cautious, cannot afford (literally) another ko/tko loss, well, any
loss kills him now... pac is just trying to pick his shots more, stop just going all out from bell to bell.
him and his team realized that strategy was just going to lead to another ko loss,
again, this is to the naked and really rookie fans eye...

 

He was biased, it was obvious :deal
