Maidana, he's just a better fighter. Both can punch, both can be hit, but Marcos sets up his punches, and can just swarm you. I think he'd bully and frustrate Lucas.
Lucas seems a little more sturdy and like he hits a little harder and seems to be a little cagier with rolling and parrying punches so I'd have him at 140. I dont know how Lucas seems at 147 as he seems a bit smaller naturally than Marcos. Still, I'd pick Lucas.
come on bro..............
Yes, they were at different weight classes, but one guy beat Alexander, and the other guy got routed by Alexander.
Also, you're talking about possibly the best body puncher in boxing against someone with a semi weakness to brutal body punches.
I'm going with Matthysse, even at WW.
hahahahaha
Tough call, but I think Lucas takes it. His work to the body would be a nightmare for Maidana.
Much rather go on watching them face other fighters though.
neither of these guys, who are close friends, are interested in fighting each other right now so their decisions should be respected. they are asked constantly about this fight and rich schaefer has an ultimate hard on for making it. i bet it gets annoying. the fight should have some sort of meaning and or greater incentive behind it other than bloodthirsty fans simply wanting to see two guys limiting their careers.
Totally true,, can't take amateur success and think it will happen in pros,, sometimes it does with oscar-Shane, Shane-Forrest, or it doesn't like porter-Devon...
But the interview with Lucas saying he didn't want none, "on different paths" it's a sign he isn't very confident vs maidana
Or Roy vs Tarver but like you I have feeling neither are in rush to fight each other.
Devon owned Shawn Porter in the amateurs but Porter undressed him as a professional. So wouldn't use that but you may be right.

Honestly,, Maidana owned Lucas in the amateurs, and last year when Lucas was asked about a Maidana fight, Lucas didn't want known and said some crap about going different paths....
Lucas don't want none of Maidana.....
