The Truth
... he says that Floyd LET Maidana fight his fight... basically trying to prove he can stand there and didn't take shyt away from Maidana by using his regular style, which is what made the fight close... He fought Maidanas fight on purpose...





nikkas tried to swear up and down that "Floyd had trouble" with Maidana :childplease:

like he didn't do that shyt on purpose. I saw, nikkas who know wtf they're talking about saw it. Second fight came around and he didn't LET Maidana do shyt.

Now I'll wait for nikkas to come in here and act like they know more about boxing and fighting than Thurman:deadrose:

fam it's a fight ain't nobody letting shyt happen when the consequences could be you getting punched in the face. That's not logical at all.

Maidana is awkward as fukk that style can give anyone problems including Floyd. Floyd beat him twice so what does it matter anyway. :yeshrug:

This thread is a direct shot at me for saying Floyd had a tougher then expected fight with Maidana the first time around, which he did. The funny thing about this is Money is actually my favorite fighter of all time, but I do not STAN any of these boxers.

The OP is missing the entire point of where I was coming from.

I said STYLISTICALLY, fighters that are extremely physical, awkward, and dirty can give OLDER fighters fits.

Here we have a guy like Manny shutting down Jessie Vargas, Lucas Matthysse, & Adrien Broner, but Jeff Horn was the guy that MADE it a tough fight with the tactics he came with.

We have a guy in Mayweather that is shutting down guys like Canelo & Pacquaio, but it's Maidana who came in there and MADE it a tough fight.

I personally believe Manny would wash Horn in a rematch after experiencing what happened the first time around, but we'll never know.

Here's another one. Sakio Bika gave Ward the toughest fight of his career until Ward/KK 1. Ward was actually in his prime against Bika though.

The awkward, dirty, rugged fighters can be hard to time and give the better boxer fits.

Wasn’t no direct shot at you, I don’t even know you

nikkas were swearing up and down how Floyd was having “a tough time” and Thurman just said what I and nikkas who know wtf they’re talking about were saying... Floyd was fighting that way on purpose and he’s done shyt like it before.

Stylistically, Floyd didn’t even fight his style. He sat in the pocket and on the ropes on purpose which is what Thurman said. Maidana didnt make shyt tough for Floyd, Floyd made it tougher than it needed to be to “entertain”. Im not mossing your point, youre missing mines..

This is Floyd, he was never in any harm or danger anyway. On top of that, these nikkas are professional fighters, they know the risks. Nobody here is a professional fighter so you can’t speak on “logical” anything.

Floyd wasn’t hurt and was fighting that way because people was calling him a runner and all this other dumb shyt so he just sat in the pocket more. Same with Cotto

Fighters saw it, Thurman saw it but we gonna listen to nikkas talk like they know more than them.
