I'm sure of this. Maidana has good trap setting and Bradley has pillow fists and can be lured into a brawl. Beating a 100 year old Marquez isn't good enough anymore.
Thoughts?
not at all, maidana beat a ****y little twat that thought he was gods gift, the reality is he struggled with paulie malignaggi. whilst he may be a 3 division champion, look at who he has beat!!!! nobody of note.
thats not to discredit maidanas victory, i wouldnt say he schooled him, he beat him fair and square.
He was pretty much seen as the best in the world at 135 when he fought there. Not saying a lot since it was a weak division at the time, but it's not like Broner is a bum. He was a legit belt holder in 3 weight divisions.
the same reasons you have given in the first paragraph can also be applied to maidana. i remember his fight with morales! porter got a good win against devon, maidana got a good win against broner. thats it!
He is a different fighter since going to Garcia and like someone else has pointed out he only has one loss at 147 and that was to Alexander. A loss that he attributes to not have a real camp/trainer before the fight.
He has proven himself against top opposition, Porter had a great performance against Alexander, but that could be a fluke. Saturday will be very telling.
Broner is way better than alexander!
Everybody was saying that broner was the next big thing , the next mayweather and after he got schooled by maidana it seems broner was a piece of s.h.i.t and maidana beat a nobody

true, but it gives you an idea of the sort of level of fighter that can beat maidana. its incredible the amount of people who are now riding the maidana train. its exactly the same as matthysse. i like chino, his fights are usually good to watch, but get real people, after he gets schooled by floyd they will be saying the same thing about maidana before he beat broner. he is an exciting brawler that is technically limited to say the least.
had mayweather chosen another fight, nobody would be rating maidana like they are. its ridiculous propaganda.

If Porter wins on Saturday then maybe, but he isn't there yet. Porter looked impressive against Devon, but he isn't too fair removed from a terrible outing against a journeyman in Diaz.
Chino has been there with top guys in too different divisions and has proven himself against top ten opposition several times. Also, I would favor Chino against Porter.

He also went life and death with Ruslan and I think Maidana is better than Ruslan.
i dont. i think they are fairly equal. as is matthysse. they are all on a similar level.
thats bollocks. just because bradley lost to pacman does not automatically mean maidana is better.
lets not forget maidana has losses to devon alexander, andreas kotelnik and amir khan and a majority decision against an old morales. bradley has only lost to pacman twice.
so to come to the conclusion that maidana is top 3 there is way off in my opinion.
Only one of those fights you mentioned was at 147
porter?????his best win before alexander was julio diaz ! GTFOH!
im just making the point! why does maidana get put to number 3? just because there was a belt on it against broner? the reality is mayweather, pacquiao, marquez, bradley at the very very least should be ranked higher than maidana.
maidana lost to amir fcuking khan!!!!
Bradley has wins against Marquez and Pacquiao, both on top 5 P4P at that time, nuff said.
He also went life and death with Ruslan and I think Maidana is better than Ruslan.
just totally discounting porter? why does maidana deserve to be infront of porter? anyway, if maidana is supposedly the number 3 welterweight, then the welterweight division is bobbins.

I mean, technically he probably is ranked #3 at 147 now. Doesn't mean he is, but that's kind of how rankings work after a fighter loses a fight.

I think provo is a more heavy puncher than maidana
And bradley just lost to pac who is top A fighter
It does not mean a C fighter can do what pac did
C level fighter, clueless lol!
After saturday is clearly that maidana is one of the 3 best 147 no matter whats happens on may 3.
Bradley won only 6/24 rounds against manny....maidana would kill bradley
thats bollocks. just because bradley lost to pacman does not automatically mean maidana is better.
