LMAO!!! Seriously?? Somebody should explain basic physics to this guy. Having two to three to four times the footspeed of somebody trying to hit you, or trying to avoid getting hit by you makes literally all the difference in the world.
It's called "distance control" and fighters like Mayweather, Hopkins and Ward use this as their secret weapon. WATCH THEM. Their opponents try and collapse or launch an attack they keep distance with quick steps backwards. Constantly. Always falling back out of range in perfect cadence with their forward moving adversaries.. When the time is right or they feel it's safe they explode forward with their own counter attack... Repeat for twelve rounds.
I was expecting some actual fight footage not some dude talking into a camera. FAIL.
I'll post the video of Maidana's footwork as soon as Barry Robinson posts the video on his website. He hasn't posted it yet.
Thanks for the laugh. Green given.
What's so funny?
It's true. You can't make guys like Maidana. He's cut from a different cloth.
Just like fans appreciated Kostya Tszyu, you gotta appreciate this big punching Argentine brawler bull. They're rare.
A boxer does not have to Roy Jones' foot speed to be good. Chino has experience, inteligence, heart, power, chin, mindset to overcome his disadvantages. He's honed his style to chase down boxers. Fans need to appreciate Maidana while he's here. There will never be another Marcos "El Chino" Maidana.

Damn, punchr dropping heavy knowledge on these mere mortals!! You're on a roll bro, you and LoadedWraps have become two of my fav posters in these past two weeks.
Maidana is definitely not as handicapped as some make him out to be. He is a real and live threat going into this Mayweather fight.
