He undoubtedly thinks he can whitewash a guy like Maidana, get credit for a nice win, and one up Khan.
...but, I don't think it's that easy and that Bradley would look worse against Maidana in a controversial decision win where he learns his power can't keep Maidana off him and probably hits the deck a few times.
Bradley having ZERO chance to deter Maidana with punches is the key factor to the whole fight. I forgot to comment on something...
People rate Holt's power so high only BECAUSE he put Bradley down like a sack of bricks. The only person he's laid out with a punch (sorry, he butted Torres onto queer street and Torres wasn't even looking at Holt anymore - anybody could have run up on Torres and coldcocked him at that moment for the same effect) is Julio Diaz. Bradley has a bit better chin than Julio Diaz is all I'm able to analytically process here. That isn't enough to say he doesn't get wobbly legs from Judah, Khan, Maidana, or Matthysse.
I think Maidana has everything to beat Bradley. I think he walks through Bradley. I think he lands right hands behind the head as Bradley bends over then lands left hooks when Bradley straightens back up and pulls away. I think Bradley would underestimate Maidana too much to have the right gameplan.
Dumbest. Argument. Ever.
"Maidana wasn't winning except for the parts where he was winning (so those parts don't count) and made the opponent quit for a TKO loss but couldn't get a stoppage aside from it being a TKO."
Maidana beat Ortiz until Ortiz didn't want to fight... EVER AGAIN! That's a more brutal stoppage than Martinez putting Williams to sleep in my view.
For the record, I called that fight right perfectly down to Ortiz quitting. Ortiz was running over people and had no idea how to do anything else. I said his only chance to win was to hit Maidana so hard early that he stayed down. I wish that board was still around so I could get the post. And ya know what? I bet Maidana would do it again even worse because Ortiz would be afraid to quit and instead take a horrific beating because Maidana doesn't have a merciful "sleep KO" punch.
There is nothing Ortiz could do to Maidana short of that same hope of an early KO punch that I think is even less likely know that Maidana knows Ortiz. Maidana-Ortiz II would be Ortiz looking like a lost puppy when he becomes dumbfounded to realize that pitty pattering at Maidana doesn't suddenly decrease Maidana's pressure (would actually increase it as Maidana is given infinite forward momentum and zero worry about any real power).
Topic is Maidana VS Bradley and all the "easy work" posts for Bradley is exactly why Bradley would make this fight. Maidana looks like easy work much in the same way I'm sure Rocky Marciano did. The fight will completely change when Maidana is walking through Bradley's punches and hitting him at awkward angles with bricks in return.
but what you fail to mention is the REASON why ortiz quit. ortiz quit because he didnt wanna take anymore punishment from maidanas heavy right hand.
yes, not to say he couldnt take more. he didnt want to. that was more a symptom of ortiz's weak/inexperienced heart than anything else. **** maidana went life and death with a shot morales and AND a shot corley.
he stopped ortiz because the kid quit in a fight he was clearly winning.

What are you talking about? He was landing more and more as the fight went on and stopped him. Ortiz was winning a 6 rd fight? Well the tides were obviously turning.
he quit. simple. ur tryna make it something it wasnt. u can say the tides were turning or w/e but the fact is madana wasnt ahead and he did not "stop him". ortiz quit because he was a wus.
Bradley thinking fighting Maidana is a better fight for him is stupid. Maidana is dangerous and hungry and bradley could get knocked the fu*k out. Maidana is a dangerous fight for anyone, and he could take Bradley into deeper water than he has ever been or want to be.
Bradley could get a rude awakening.
I take it as a 60% of bradley winning to a 40% of Maidana doing the upset..... Its not that easy of a fight............
STOP DEGRADING BOTH FIGHTERS!!!!!
He stopped Ortiz who everyone has on their p4p list all of a sudden.
He lost to Khan in a close fight. Ya he got dominated in the rds he lost but it was still a close fight i which he almost stopped Khan.
he stopped ortiz because the kid quit in a fight he was clearly winning. lets stop the bull****. maidana did not look good in that fight outside the stoppage and the knockdowns. does he beat ortiz now? i guarantee u he wouldnt.
When was the last time anyone dominated Maidana?
not the point. the point is the guy is ovverated. hes never lookd great in a fight against decent opposition. and that includes guys like corley and morales. bradley can very well dominated maidana imo. that would be the best fighter hes ever fought.
I don't see why he didn't just fight and beat dude to get the situation done with. He would win easy...it is going to be funny to hear people's reactions when they do fight and Bradley beats him
Khan is gonna get embarrassed man.
Khan is going to get embarassed by who? by Judah? I doubt it but you never know, at least he's taking a credible fight. Bradley is going to get KTFO by Maidana thats IF he even fights him.
Bradley would get KTFO by Khan, Pacquiao or Mayweather and it just so happens theyre the only viable options for the Bradley Brand to sky rocket its popularity
Khan will lose again no doubt, but at least he's got balls and wants to best fights. Timmy wants to be a b1tch
i find it so funny how ppl overestimate maidana on this site. when was the last time maidana dominated anyone? maidana is a c level fighter. bradley beat him and id bet all my point on that if the fight happens.

Is this just a fans thoughts, or is there rumors of the fight happening?
Just a prediction. Maidana is the highest rated, most notable, and probably unbeknownst to Bradley best fighter at 140 without a fight. I think Bradley will do like Roach did and think easy night... until the fight happens.
The "cherry pick" term is in quotations for a reason. Bradley would think he is taking an easy fight and would end up in a very tough one. That's what I meant. I love Maidana and think he's only looked bad in fights he thought would be an easy KO over a shot opponent.
