When Maidana beats Lopez...

I voted other I'm campaigning for a Cotto/Maidana fight

Who says I'm concerned about him? Do you see me creating any threads about him? He is a brawler and fans like brawlers, boxing needs brawlers. Without brawlers people would be watching MMA. Brawler against boxer is a classic boxing fight. And Maidana have been for five years in a row FOTY candidate. Why the hate? No matter if he improves his skills, as long as he stays competitive, he will always have fans because he is pure entertainment.

My question is if Maidana is such a bum why are you so concerned about him? Who says I'm concerned about him? Do you see me creating any threads about him?

Maidana ducked Thurman before and will continue to do so. I didn't even expect Lopez to hurt Maidana the way he did. Thurman who has fought as a JMW puts a hurting on Maidana. Ooooh those body shots hurt. :lol1: Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Now you have to "earn a fight" with a journeyman/contender? This is a good even fight. Maidana aint no journeyman.

Now you have to "earn a fight" with a journeyman/contender? This is a good even fight. I think that the guy in your sig adjust better to the journeyman definition.

I would like to see Maidana vs. Guerrero. It would be a war. The strongest will/the most heart wins the fight. You wouldn't have to worry about someone quitting when the going gets tough either. This would be a FOTY candidate guaranteed.

I still want a Ghost or Berto fight for Maidana. Nagi would be ok too.. And the newest development should he beat Nagi, Broner, would also pique my interest

Interesting most people want a freakin Ortiz fight... Lol. Oh also interesting how many people took issue with my "when Maidana beats Lopez" wording... Heheh

i don't care who he fights to be honest. i will watch it. bradley's with top rank so that's not gonna happen and fvck no to alvarez. i don't want to lay eyes on that failure ortiz either but i guess that's a good scrap too.

I see him losing to Lopez to be honest. This the thing, Lopez is tailor made for Maidana. Even the old swing-for-the-fences no defense or jab Maidana. Anything he adds to his game under Garcia is just bonus. Lopez is a guy who likes to mix it up, with less pop than Chino. He really caught Ortiz with a perfect shot but Maidana has the stronger punches. If two people are in a finesseless firefight and one has more power.. Its a simple assessment but brutally accurate.

Where did get the idea that Zaveck was a handful for Thurman? Then again you think Maidana vs Lopez is a given... Even in the championship rounds when fatigue was kicking in he still handled the guy (a tough vet) with ease and didn't panic, he showed good composure. Zaveck's power had ZERO impact in the fight so it's STILL irrelevant. When has Maidana looked better defensively and why? Cause he was trying to imitate some bs on the ropes vs Karass? Yea ok. Oh btw, if you wanna talk about everything he can handle, let's talk about Maidana being handled by a china chin Khan and struggled vs a shot to sh*t Morales. Hell, some people even thought he lost. If he couldn't KO Khan what makes you think he will be able to KO the bigger guy Thurman? Come on dude. That's exactly my point, Zaveck's power didn't effect Thurman because Zaveck doesn't have much power. Maidana is the other end of the spectrum. You think Thurman wouldn't be phased by Maidana's power, considering how much he can be tagged by an inferior gatekeeper in Zaveck? Good luck Also you gotta love revisionists. Khan was the man, or near to, at 140 when Maidana fought him, with wins over Judah, Malignaggi, and Kotelnyk. Plus his considerable financial base. Speed and power on a tall frame for 140. But now that he's lost to peterson and garcia, he's a china chinned bum. Revisionists. Oh, and Morales is a hall of famer and had some left for Maidana. He even went on to get a win over Cano (a guy comparable in level to your Zaveck incidentally) after his loss to Maidana. There's no shame in having a battle with Morales and winning. Finally I see from your commenting on Maidana's moves off the ropes that you actually watched the fight. That's good, too many haters try their schtick without even checking the fights. But, if you did check the fight then you saw Maidana's shotgun jab and straighter shots. You might have noticed against Khan that he utilized mostly overhand rights and uppercuts with some lobbing hooks, a lot of which he smothered. You might have also noticed he was so slow in that fight and much of his power drained because of Khan's body work. Back to the Karass fight, you. SHOULD have noticed the vast difference between the Maidana that fought in the previous four fights and that fight. You might call that bs but I call that VERY promising improvement under a better trainer.

lol imagine if Lopez won by brutal ko just toshock the world. But whoever wins (almost definitely maidana) should fight Ortiz because never ceases to entertain me

can Maidana not make JWW anymore? there's better fights for him there if he can still make it if he stays at WW, would like to see Maidana-Bradley Bradley needs a win in an exciting fight to revitalize himself Maidana-Ortiz 2 is good too, if Victoria is man enough to do it

Lol the reason Thurman wasn't "wobbled, hurt or dropped" is because he was in there with a light puncher, so ko ratio is very relevent because it indicates punching power and finishing ability. Zaveck was a handful for Thurman, Maidana would be a fistful. Maidana has looked in better shape and defensively more sound of late too, and I'd even take the old version of Maidana over the current Keith. I mean come on, the kid just barely started going over 8 rounds, and you expect him to walk through the fire of Maidana so soon? You must not like your boy very much.
