    First much credit to Mayweather for a dominate showing. I had it 10-2 and was just a little surprised at the ease.

    But I was thinking though, in all of Mayweather's career IMO his toughest was Maidana some will argue Castillo as well.
    As far as how I've saw fight's, Maidana arguably won 3-6rds and a draw is very reasonable. Most people just attributed it to Floyd losing his legs, but this fight has shown you his movement is still top notch.
    My question is what made Marcos so successful? Was it his size, style, aggressiveness. It's simply amazing out of the countless Champs fought, former WW/JWW Champ M.Maidana came the closest to defeating F.Mayweather.

    Floyd fanatic it's not a dominant showing. Pacquiao won(or could be a draw).

    Maidana did much better than pacquiao because maidana actually wanted to win. Manny was shameful last night, trailing massively and doesn't even go for broke in the biggest fight of his career.

    Maidana in the first fight was fantastic. Relentless. Manny was nowhere near as aggressive.

    Given a chance to fight him, Manny would have made Maidana look very ordinary.

    If Floyd moves around the ring against Maidana in their first fight, like he did last night, he makes him look very ordinary also.

    Not taking nothing away from chino but I honestly believe it was a lack of motivation from floyd, going from breaking ppv records against canelo to fighting chino

    Maidana fought with his weight. He is rugged, fought dirty, attacked with both hands, unorthodox, unpredictable, knew his only chance was an all out attack. Did not try to box or out think Floyd Mayweather

    I can't even say anything, a friend of mine I bet on the fight thought Manny won 4/5 rds smh. It's hard to give em more than 3 RDS to me.

    True yet other fighters have held similar size advantages, and applied a constant pressure but none before or after have been successful.

    That is an interesting perspective and very vaild everyone has off night's. But it's crazy Maidana was the one to bring it about.

    Maidana showed great determination and heart and had an awkward style as well as weight advantage. Floyd also fought a stupid fight the first time around.

    Styles make fights and fighters don't perform equally well in all fights.
