Why I believe Marcos Rene Maidana can beat Floyd Mayweather

First topic message reminder :

Hello Gents,

First time OP here. A big fight coming up soon between MM vs FMJ. A lot of people are writing off Marcos Maidana before he has already fought FMJ. I believe he has the tools to win this fight. After watching his recent fights he will give FMJ much more of a fight than most believe. His foot work and head movement have improved massively under Garcia. His out putt of punches alone can win him this fight. A lot of people were touting Canelo to beat FMJ which I thought was never going to happen due to his lack of speed. Maidana does not suffer from a lack of speed IMHO. He's not the quickest but his in your face style could really upset FMJ. A continuing improving MM can finally get rid of FMJ 0.

I could be wrong. Normally I am . Either way I'm putting some money on MM for a W.

All the best.

Union Cane.

He believed.

Harrison-Haye?

that took three rounds, I don't think I sat down before Dawson was on queer street

Always a bit silly this..............

I can say If Turpin can outbox Robinson.........Nunn would take the p**s out of him !!

Which isn't true....

Styles make fights...

Robinson would sting Nunn early and put him in his shell.

That's not my point..

Never said it was dumbo.

Dumbo...Didn't like that.......Bambi was better..

Yeah bit of a Disney fan myself too Truss. I love a happy ending 

When I predicted Angulo to KO Alvarez I was strung out on heroine, with my legs caught in a threshing machine, paralysed from the neck down and typing with my tongue.

TRUSSMAN never uses that as an excuse.

I backed Cotto to beat Pacquaio and I've lost count of the amount of times I've bet against Floyd and lost. Not doing it this time though. Mismatch.

Remember Floyd is 37.......

Already on borrowed time If history is to be believed....

People often overlook the fact Manny and Floyd are by Boxing standards old men......

Both could go at anytime..

It's no excuse, just giving a little insight into where my life is at right now

Weigh in without incident.

TBE 146
Maidana 146.5

Khan 147
Collazo 147

Broner 140
Molina 138.5

Broner's grown a beard. Rather than growing cushioning he should improve his defense.

I liked Molina's attitude there. He appeared to lack a heartbeat. Total, stoney, scary stillness.

He'll still get battered.
