JMM not having great legs anymore is definitely a factor, but his skill level is still going to be a huge problem for Maidana. He's going to eat a ton of clean shots walking in, and even more when Marquez starts throwing with him.
Maidana's shots would affect Marquez for sure, but nobody has ever beaten this guy down. All his defeats have been to opponents with fast hands and lots of mobility. Maidana's not some monster welterweight either. This isn't Margarito we're talking about.
Marquez always takes tons of shots, before he counters and wears down guys like Maidana. He's not going to do that against Maidana at 147.
Maidana easily.
Tough matchup to call. Maidana's come forward style does suit Marquez. And Lopez, who doesn't have the power of Marquez, was able to badly hurt Maidana to the body. Marquez is a very good body puncher, combination puncher, and counterpuncher. Maidana is still pretty open to being hit. Broner didn't have the power to take advantage, but Marquez is a different beast. Marquez showed in his last fight he can still compete with far more skilled and faster fighters than Maidana. I suppose we need to see how Marquez looks against Alvarado. But I'm inclined to think Marquez's style advantage, power, counterpunching, and intelligence would lead to either a wide unanimous decision or a knockout of Maidana.
marquez isnt a 147 pounder, maidanas gonna clip his ass and will be all over him. maidana throws from angles so good luck with marquezing countering. marquez is too small for 147 imo which is why i wouldn't favour him.
This is pretty tough, but I'm gonna go with Maidana. With JMM at this age, I can see Maidana just being too much. Marcos would certainly eat his share of shots though.
Vote and discuss
JMM outboxes him and outworks him, they both end up bloody and both go down but JMM UD's him if Maidana doesn't stop him with 1 punch at any given time throughout the fight.
Target practice. Allmighty Marquez would knock him out.
This. ^^^
What has Maidana done to make anybody think he could go 12 with JMM? El Dinamita would light him up like 4th of July. Even now.
In case this is part of some weird fanboi agenda:
After Floyd takes Maidana to school, I don't wanna' hear a bunch of sh1t like "Haterzzz!1!! Y'all said Maidana was a beast and now you're calling him a bum!!111! Hypocritezzzz!!1!" etc and so forth...
Let it be known that a significant portion of this forum (a majority?) never thought Maidana was all that and a bag of pretzels when compared to the currently active HoFers.
JMM. Honestly, if Maidana couldn't stop the carbonised fossil of Erik Morales, or a significantly less talented fighter with no legs in Broner, I don't think he's getting the better of Juan Manuel Marquez.
"Robert Garcia tho"
Robert Garcia my hole.
marquez is a great combination puncher and would cpounter maidana but i think maidana would bring the heat, bully and beat marquez up. This is the type of matchup marquez ducks
Sure do......
I sure do. Marcos Maidana in case you are trying to be funny. I like to abbreviate names because it makes the typing process quicker. I am sure you know what I meant. And besides, who cares if I abbreviate or say entire names? Are you a mature male? Or immature male? And as you can see, I can SPELL very well.
The only way MM loses is if Roidquez has extra stuff in his ass. Otherwise, MM by KO. He is too BIG and too strong for Juan. Juan would not be able to keep MM off of him and he has never faced such a violent, in your face style before. Remember, a counter puncher needs space and time to think to know what shot to throw. MM won't give him time or space to think and he hits you EVERYWHERE!
Do you like M&Ms?
Mm.........

Marquez probably but he might have slipped enough to be ko:ed. A little slower reactions and he might be hurt bad cause he will get hit eventually against maidana.
