    Chino knocked both of these guys out and he never got wild and out of control at all. He didn't even throw a lot of illegal shots, low blows, rabbit punches etc.. So why against Floyd did Maidana resort to fighting like a caveman, fouls, headbuts, elbows, bites, knee's, low blows, back of the head,....he beat Lopez and Santa Cruz clean, does he feel he can't beat Floyd in a clean fight?

    well most of those rabid punches were from maidana trying to punch over the shoulder roll. im guessing the rest of the rough housing was to try and get floyd flustered and out of his game.

    When your traiiners instructions are literally "fight dirty" that says a lot for what they think of Mayweather. So that's the Blueprint, fight dirty, kind of sad when you think about it.

    I guess he pulled out all the stops, almost worked. And are you referring to the knee he tried to ram into Floyd's face while he held his head down in round four or five? Haha I couldn't believe that happened

    And not once did Weeks take a point, sad cause Maidana is going to injure someone sooner or later with those tactics

    I think he missed it, there's no way he lets that slide despite all the rough **** he allowed. I enjoyed it made the fight more exciting.

    Why are you mad that he beat Floyd at his own game?

    Floyd is no saint. He is also a very dirty fighter. When Floyd gets pressured he throws elbows, keeps people away with the forearm and is ALWAYS holding/bending peoples arms... While you are reviewing Maidana's old fights, maybe you should review Floyd's also.

    Before you go and mouth off about other boxers being dirty, have a look at who you are defending. As they say, people who live in a glass house, shouldn't throw stones.

    Floyd was holding Maidana's head down...so Maidana low blowed/thigh punched = fair to me. Floyd was holding Maidanas arm and ducking his head down, he got punched in the back of the head with the free arm.

    Yes, Maidana was much dirtier than Floyd in the fight. He said he was going to be. Floyd is also one of the best drama queens in boxing. If he complains to a ref, usually he gets his own way.

    You say Floyd is a drama queen and complained to the ref, I dint know about that, did you watch Khan-Collazo, Collazo is what I would call complaining to the ref

    Then you clearly haven't seen enough of Floyd Mayweather to defend him or accuse another boxer of being a dirty fighter against him.

    Please, before you make these stupid threads, think about what people are going to say in response, as you are continuously making yourself look like a fool.
