While all of us were shocked that someone we thought was nothing
more than a crude brawler gave Mayweather arguably his hardest
fight, the fact of the matter is that no fair minded person disputes
that Money won the fight, more importantly, the judges gave the
fight to Mayweather by a wide margin. This is a lesson to all those
who think that they can turn the rules of boxing over, head butt, hit
under the belt, and demand to come into a fight with nothing covering
their knuckles than a thin layer of leather: boxing is about scoring,
and it is about outpointing your opponent round per round. If you
expend all your fire throwing 400 punches in the first 4 rounds, and
then through 500 hundred the remaining 8 rounds, your opponent
will win if he outpoints you systematically every round thereafter.
Maidana was an idiot, and his trainer a greater idiot. They forgot to
win the game, and tried to win a brutal street fight. They had their
chance, they lost, as history will record, and now they can take their
bitching to their next fight, because there is really no benefit in Money
fighting them again. WHEN, not IF, Mayweather dominates Maidana in
a rematch, then what? The haters will return to demanding that he fight
Golovkin again? At this time, Floyd would be better off fighting Manny
Pacquiao. The fight would make more money, and Pacquiao would
fight more cleanly, albeit in a losing effort.
The people who will clamour for this fight do not like Floyd anyway, and
if he wins, they will like him even less. He does not win by appeasing
them. Floyd needs to continue doing what is best for Floyd and move
on, and forget Maidana.
Floyd needs to announce his opponent as soon as possible, and make it
clear it is not Maidana; the only reason why you grant an opponent a
rematch is if you want something he has. There is nothing Maidana has
that Mayweather wants. Fuck him
