Someone like maidana would have been nightmare fuel for haney

Agree, I loved Maidanas style and I'll be forever greatful for him for that Broner fight which I can always go back to for pure entertainment.Maybe, maybe not. Maidana lacks Garcia's hand speed to catch him in the exchanges and the athleticism. As of late, Maidana has become somewhat overrated. He still lost to Khan in a close decision. He also got outclassed by Alexander, who used grab and jab style and if I remember correctly, wanted to quit mid-fight.
But Maidana lost to Khan, Alexander and went basically 50/50 with a really old version of Morales who was undersized.
I'd probably pick Maidana over Haney but I wouldn't be 100% sure of it and I feel Maidana almost gets put into ATG category, which he wasn't, based on entertainment value, the Broner fight, and giving Floyd stylistic issues.
To my eye a lot of people rank Maidana similarly to where I'd rank Shane Mosley or Miguel Cotto, one rung below the ATG's at the weight, where I'd have him a rung or two below that, with the likes of Khan, Bradley etc

Agreed just on the fact maidana only has to land once in 12 rounds haneys defense is not well equipped to deal with a mauler that has heavy hands. Everytime Ryan flurried haney froze up for a second I noticedComment
