    i' m saying what the *****s said, and that doesn't mean a fan that supports Mayweather-but the types that said Maidana would not land a punch etc.

    I thought the fight would be much more one sided. I think a lot of people did.

    Or better yet, don't have a side of the fence and just enjoy watching mayweather without getting emotionally attached to his persona.

    ok. that is fair enough. so did i. but I have always said noone is invincibile. pardon my excessive reaction. Floyd is a great boxer but he is aging and reflexes not as sharp, methinks. Thought if someone beat him it would be a fighter with unusual angles timing power and an extreme belief in his ability to do so.

    I happen to agree with you, but HMB is very pro fighters from his own country rather than boxing as a whole

    I had mayweather winning by 2 rounds, even going into the 11th. Great fight, but it's hard to say whether he is slipping or not, sometimes one comes up against a style that will makes you look bad, or at the very least not as good as usual.

    Mayweather is 37, so will be naturally declining - as well as his personal problems at the moment.

    This was his john mugabi fight

    This took it out of him, he didn't want to be there

    He knows it, he was happy to stay not he ropes

    Where was the ring. Generalship that he is known for?

    He let maidana best the sh1t out of him

    Very bad night for Team Mayweather. This is what happens when you get ranked too much high and have difficulty to watch and feel the scene below yourself. Maidana is just an ordinary puncher and he still found his way to get inside the mastercraftsman. Now, it's Floyd asking for a rematch cause it's the second consecutive time he wins a MD/ finds one of the scorecards even 114-114 ( after Canelo) and that may look that he's on the slide, slippin a lil bit to the other top p4pers who r about his weight like Manny Pacquiao.

    this fight deserved to be questioned on the scorecards, but did you really believe the canelo draw card was anything other than a farce?
