Floyd could only fight a couple of times more after taking those savage beatings, Maidana took his chance to make history and 50-0. Poor Floyd never recovered from the trauma, he couldn't even drink water properly, he had to take it IV for 2 years.
Don't cry homie, facts are facts. Floyd lost his ability to drink water after taking two savage beatings from Maidana
Well, maidana didnt lose his ability to eat after floyd. He was so depressed that he eat himself and never fought again. Oh! wait! maidana dindt fight again after foyd's beating? mmmm so... floyd not only ruined Maidana but he also retired him? uhhhh la la la la la. :scaredas: EDIT: floyd retires maidana from boxing and then beats an ATG and retires undefeated, and you say that maidana ruined floyd? :rofl buy a brain, m8.
*caught Floyd late in his career and helped accelerate the deterioration of his in-ring abilities, to put it more objectively.
So Maidana took a truck loaded with cash and went to Argentine to all you can eat buffets while Royd can't drink water for the rest of his life? That's even more sad
My first instinct was to call you a troll but, TBQH, those two fights really did probably age Floyd, Floyd even admitted as such in the ring after the second fight that he didn't feel as sharp as the first fight, although it was far more one sided. Everyone gets old.
Maidana has heart, but you need more than heart to be exceptional in this bizness. Else you'll just be like Rock'em Sock'em robots like Gatti-Ward. Appealing to the basest of fans who don't comprehend the science but want to see two combatants slug one another, sans and defence, until one of them drops. These fans are usually die hard NASCAR and Hockey fans. Maidana's skills are weak like Porter, Pascal and Golovkin. They all have heart and the desire, but lack ability. Put em in with an elite boxer and watch them as they do all they can do which is, flail wild body shots, overshoot wide right and left hooks over head and rabbit punch.
