If that shot was a little more compact with more body in it, it would have done alot more damage. But I don't think Maidana is capable of a better shot, his technique is poor, sloppy and mainly arm. Perfect shot precision wise though.
What are you talking about? Maidana has the most powerful right hand in the welterweight division. Nobody could have thrown that shot better. Not even juiced up Marquez. Maidana doesn't have bad technique, he'd beat up your favorite welter, all I ever see you do is talk trash about Maidana.
Common opponents Demarcus Corley and Devon Alexander both said Matthysse hit harder... Just saying lol:boxing::wave:
Correction: Devon Alexander said he never got to feel Maidana's power because he never got hit clean by Maidana. And Corley is a hater, he said Maidana has absolutely no power and he didn't feel his punches even though Maidana knocked him down and almost stopped him and Maidana was terribly out of shape in that fight.
Petr Petrov said Maidana is the hardest puncher he's ever faced.
Algieri said Maidana is the hardest puncher he's ever faced and hit way harder than Provodnikov.
Algieri's team said Maidana is the hardest puncher they have ever seen P4P
Josesito Lopez said Maidana hits harder than Canelo Alvarez
Jesus Soto Karass said he hits harder than Thurman
Maidana would steamroll Matthysse like a tortilla.

Maidana is bigger I bet he hits harder at 147
That's why I still don't get how people talk about Khan having a glass jaw, he was taking punches after punches in that 10th round against Maidana, even in that Garcia fight in the 3rd after the knock down he was taking punches after punches before the red stopped it.
He was also Bambi on ice for a lot of the fight. But showed tremendous heart.
However, Khan's chin problems do not derive from that fight and it's pointless to deny that he has a weak chin. From getting decked hard in the amateurs, to staying down for the count in a British lightweight fight and getting a gift, to being chased around the ring by Julio Diaz and buckled by a guy with 8 KOs to his name in his last fight..
i still have absolutely no clue how mayweather was not face first on the canvas after that punch
Mayweather has a great chin. On top of everything else. And of course great composure when hurt.
Yea I remember, Floyd wanted to work that body some more because we've seen how it has worked against Marcos alla Amir Khan. But Marcos is like a piece of iron, or like a wild animal. He isnt invincible but you are going to have to really give it to him to take him out. Floyd could have dished out a more devastating attack but for typical reasons took the conservative defensive approach. Yea he won the fight, but honestly I think Floyd could have beat him at his own game if he were to take the offensive. Might of been an easier fight too. Giving Maidana the initiative to keep coming forward only sustains his confidence. Guys like Lopez and Ortiz really had Maidana in serious trouble but Maidana dug deep and turned it up. I think Floyd could have picked up where lopez and Ortiz failed.
Maidana is a faking warrior. He fought a roided freak in Floyd, whom was most likely juiced to the gills, for a total of 24 rounds and was never shaken. Marcos "Heart of a lion, balls of King Kong" Maidana.
Floyd hurt Maidana bad in the second fight with a body shot,then he faked a low blow

Thru all his flashiness and skills..Floyd is tough as nails and has a damn solid chin[/QUOTE
Floyd has saline running thru his veins so it is not surprising.
God damn Mayweather has an iron chin. That shot landed clean, right on the button. It was a kill shot. I'm not a Mayweather fan but that mf'er has a chin
Floyd was stillw ell aware of everything,it is amazing how he took that shot
In build up to the fight, I thought Maidana would win due to the punch he landed. I knew that he would crack Mayweather clean but I didn't expect Mayweather to eat the punch up.
