Is Maidana more skillful than he gets credit for?

[DannYankee]

Nothing of what hes done sugest any type of hidden talent so far. Heavy handed slugger who can beat the shyt out of you if he forces you into hes style of fight.

maidana is a power puncher and a good slugger with a great heart. his skill is overrated but you just cant count him out with the qualities he possess.

well without a doubt hes obviously not the most well rounded fighter in the world. although he has some real strong qualities. including his power and ruggedness. some of his most positive intangibles that may make this fight very interesting and more competitive then it should be on paper is his heart will and mental fortitude.

the problem in this fight is that its a physical mismatch, especially in terms speed since khan is one of the fastest in the game and maidana being one fo the slowest ...

but this is def one of those fights that anything can happen and it wouldn't surprise me at all ... theres many different ways it can end

Maidana is more skilled than he is given credit for but he is not a classic boxer. His skills are based around what he does well hitting really hard. His footwork is quite quick and gets himself in position to land but he does take shots but is one of those fighters that is happy to take a shot or two in order to land his own.
