    Maidana did not win every round in the first six, though, he just won more of them (the way I saw it, at least). As others have said, Mayweather very clearly picked it up later in the fight and there was a certain stretch of rounds where it was all Mayweather, as Maidana was clearly fatigued and wasn't landing what he was throwing. It was at that point where it clearly became Floyd's fight to lose, IMO.

    Mayweather won by two or three rounds, but clearly struggled in a fight many expected to be a cakewalk. Whether that was because of Maidana's awkward, unpredictable style or father time, Floyd looked awfully beatable. There are a few fighters with power and speed licking their chops.

    Suspended and called racist for wordplay, what? Would like the critiques to say what part of it was racist and how/why.

    He's the CANman, AfriCAN beat the F out of a mexiCAN. What in the world is racist about that, he just tried to be funny, wtf.

    Our society is ridiculous, you can't say anything about races without being considered racist.

    The fight between Bermane Stiverne vs. Chris Arreola has got to be a Fight of the Year candidate. It's one of the best Heavyweight fights so far for that division.

    Arum...why doesn't Pac just fight some of the people that Mayweather fought? I mean another Marquez fight might be worth watching, but so would one against Canelo, Maidana, I don't know...just something new!

    Marquez dominated ten out of twelve rounds. It is pretty incredible that Alvarado got knocked through the ropes and still came back and knocked down Marquez and at least made the last couple of rounds interesting.

    JMM is totally juicing. He never had that power before 40. Suddenly he bulks up and is packing all this muscle. Plus look at all that chest and back acne. You don't get that at 40 unless ur on the juice.

    He never had power before 40? He has 40 wins by KO, all before he turned forty...

    He's always been pretty muscular, especially compared to other Mexican boxers. Marquez and Barrera in 2007...

    He didn't "suddenly" bulk up. He started gaining weight when he moved up to fight Mayweather in 2009.

    No you don't gain that kind of muscle at age 40. Not possible. Even Chanel sonnen commented he went thru puberty again. Look at the mayweather pic he was slim not defined and bulked up. See pics above. What grown man at age 40 has all that acne over their back and chest? Dude is the clearest cheater and juicer in boxing. Sorry

    Yea pretty incredible he gets away with steroid use. Dude is dirty...I use to respect him as a great boxing tactician and counter puncher. Now it's just sad how obvious his steroid use is.
