Maidana "The Next Pacquiao"

maidana vs chad dawson in 5 years... watch lmao

HELL NO. Maidana got below average boxing skills and his resume is padded. So I dont understand your logic. WTF And your little gay lover Khan ducked him dumbass.

HELL NO. Maidana got below average boxing skills and his resume is padded. So I dont understand your logic. the same could have been said about pacquiao at one point.

No Maidana is a warrior who will fight any style.

that's what i hear ppl saying... wut do y'all think? Until he beats Bute at 168, I think that's a bit premature.

lol @ "more like the next" y'all went hard on him haha

lol this was an april's fool thread.. lol i forgot to follow up...

that's what i hear ppl saying... wut do y'all think? He's more likely the next rocky juarez.

as slow as Diaz's. No he is not.

Hope so. Argentina is a great sports country who really support their big champs. Soccer and tennis, they are really vocal and exuberant in cheering and supporting. It would be great for boxing to see Argentina fans do what Filipinos are doing for Pac.

I agree, at 140: Maidana >>>> Diaz. It was a close fight but Kotelnik beat him. Remember, Kotelnik doesn't know how to slip away punches he just covers up well. Malignaggi only covers up with one hand but doesnt do a great job at slipping away punches. Proving that Maidana can handle when fighters don't brawl with him right? It still doesnt prove how Maidana will handle boxers who see his slow punches coming and can slip them away with lateral movement. Maidana punches are not as slow as you making you out to be.

No one can be the next Pacquiao.. Just like no one can be the next Mayweather.. Maidana needs to make his own name.. in his era, he need to beat Alxander, Khan and Bradley then Move up to fight some big WW to = the status of Pac.. I see a bright future for this kid..

Kotelnik didnt brawl with him despite him being in his face all the time? I'm not underrating Maidana or overrating Paulie, I just don't think Maidana can handle boxers who wont go brawling with him. I believe Paulie will slip Maidanas punches all day just like Diaz's. Thats how I see it. But, Diaz at 140 is not as good as Maidana. If you going by that fight you making a mistake... And, there have plenty of accounts that Madiana beat Kotelnik. Either way it was a close fight. Proving that Maidana can handle when fighters don't brawl with him right? And, Paulie is easy to hit.

oh yea...no doubt, Monte is legit...and as for Norm coming back, it would have been nice to see how he could have molded Barkely and Corp...but, it is what it is...i hope Lane doesnt fukk things up :lol1: Yea..we will see.

Hmmm...yes Maidana is bigger and stronger then Diaz. He might frustrate Paulie at times but I still favor Paulie to win. An interesting fact: have you noticed that Maidana only wins fights if his opponents brawl with him? When was the last time Paulie brawled? Paulie would never brawl. But, do you think that could be cuz is not really their choice to brawl with him. But, Maidana puts so much pressure that he MAKES them brawl with him. Because they have no other choice since he is always in their face throwing bombs at them. ANd, like I said Malignaggi is not slick he gets hit ofter. He will get hit by Maidana. He could be suckered into a brawl. Maidana is better than what you're giving him credit for. He has some skills, he proved he is a good body puncer, body punching will slow down a boxer legs. I am starting to think if you not underrating Maidana then you really overrating Paulie.

PAC-10 has caught up man...we didnt win it with Pete last year... i think he did ok in Oakland considering the situation...he had my Raiders playing hard for a while...we even went into Denver and finally won there at Tennessee, well, he never really got the ball rolling...he was still dealing with Fullmer's recruits...Lane is 'ok' but i dont think he's the type of premier coach to run the SC program.. i hope im wrong tho...i kinda felt the same way with Pete when he first came in but he brought in Norm Chow with him so i wasnt 'that' worried Yea, I see where you are coming from. The media has always made Lane out to be this good young coach, I just haven't seen it yet. Now his dad on the other hand, is a great coach IMO, I think that part of why Lane is as famous as he is. TBH with you, I didn't think that Pete was actually going to leave. We've heard those rumors of him going to the NFL before, so I didn't think much of them. I thought for sure the way the 09 season went, Pete would come back and beat the mess out of everyone this year, so I can say I was bit surprised that he left. I was not however, surprised when Kiffin got the job. And I wish Chow would have come back. I loved how he had that O clicking when he was at SC.

It's padded? Who is hyping his resume? Do you even know what that means? I think he just hates Madiana because he knows Maidana would knock out Khan. Haha, j/k.

I'm not underrating Maidana. I rank him at #5 in the 140 division. I agree with you that its almost impossible to discourage Maidana. But I do think that Paulie can frustrate Maidana with his footwork and stingy jab. But, you can also turn that around and say Maidana could frustrate Malignaggi with his pressure and power. Might even discourage him. You not really looking what Maidana really brings to the table. Maidana is a totally different animal then Juan Diaz.

I think youre still viewing Paulie as the boxer he was when he was with McGirt. That Paulie would lose. That Paulie stopped using his best asset, his footwork. The Paulie that fought Cotto, Ndou in the first fight and Diaz would beat Maidana. Maidana's boxing skills are medicore and Paulie has a chin of stone. Paulie would be pot shotting Maidana on his backfoot all day long. Again you're underrating Maidana bro and what he brigns to the table. First of all Malignaggi got his ass whooped by Cotto. And, Cotto was a walking dead zombie. And, Diaz was ruined by Nate and JMM by the time he fought Malignaggi. Plus Diaz didn't have the power to make Malignaggi uncomfortable in there like Maidana does. There is no need to downgrade Maidana in order to defend Khan. I would highly favor Maidana over Malignaggi. There is nothing that Malignaggi does that will discourage Maidana. If Ortiz who is skilled knocked Maidana down and still couldn't discourage him then I don't know what Paule could do.

and dancing...he's gonna one-up PAC :dance: Webb, i remember when i taught my little sister how to drive...she picked up well...was handling the road pretty good...but when it was time for her to borrow my car, that anxiety came over me real nasty...that's the same anxiety i have when it comes to Lane running the show Wow...I must say that I'm not real big on Lane. Everywhere he has been the head guy, there has not really been any real success. He is @ SC now and even if he is the WORST coach in the nation, the talent there will MORE than make up for that. They just better win the Pac 10 this year I know that much!
