Floyd Mayweather vs Marcos Maidana News: Roger Mayweather Says Floyd Jr. Too Quick for ‘El Chino’
Roger Mayweather believes that Floyd Mayweather Jr. will have a walk in the park against Timothy Bradley in their upcoming showdown on May 3 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Several boxing analysts believe that Maidana could give Mayweather a run for his money in their title unification bout, but Roger Mayweather thinks otherwise.
The world-renowned trainer said that the reigning pound-for-pound king is too quick for Maidana, confidently saying that the Argentinian champion will be an easy target for Floyd Jr.
"I believe that Floyd will stop him, I do believe that," Roger Mayweather told On The Ropes Boxing Radio. "Floyd is too quick for him and he's gonna hit him with punches that he don't see, that's what's going to cause the stoppage on him, that's what I think."
Roger Mayweather also added that Floyd's camp was not concerned about what boxing analysts are saying about the possible outcome of the Mayweather-Maidana showdown.
Maidana looked very impressive during his last fight against Adrien Broner in December last year, but Roger Mayweather reiterated that Floyd Jr. is a different fighter and that the 30-year-old Argentinian will get hit more than ever before.
"People say he ain't going to stop Maidana, but we ain't concerned with what people say or what they think, but the difference between Floyd and any other fighter, is Floyd's going to hit Maidana more than he ever been hit, that's the key to stopping somebody, hitting them with punches he don't see," Roger Mayweather said.
Roger Mayweather also talked about the possible retirement of the undefeated WBC welterweight champion, saying that Floyd Jr. should complete his fight contract with ShowTime, then walk away as the greatest fighter of all time.
"My nephew want to go out of boxing as the greatest fighter ever, and if he want to walk away and be known as the greatest fighter ever, he will whop this dudes ass right here and finish his contract, and boom, he walk away from the sport," Roger Mayweather said.
