Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Marcos 'El Chino' Maidana

[Tomislav III]

Yup. The crazy eyes are going to beat the hell out of JMM. It'll be a massacre.

lol Marquez stops him, I have no doubt in my mind. Maidana is a beast, but he's the type of fighter Dinamita would pick apart and KO in the late rounds.

Of coarse Marquez would have to go to hell and back in a hellacious war, but I'm sure the old vet would have no problem doing it.

Not really. Maybe if Maidana were several inches shorter and many pounds lighter on fight night, but he isn't.

The fighting style is similar to what JMM does well with. But so many wars, so many cuts, so many close calls, Maidana is a missile, JMM is only a target.

An old fool chasing something he won't ever reach, four division championships.

I think this is an interesting fight and would love to see this!

I think size will prevail, erik morales was the beast out the greats and I honestly dont think Marquez will handle them shots well from Marcos just imo.

This fight would be such a war..... the violence involved would be staggering

Unless Marquez starts fighting like he is the age he is then I fancy him to give Chino a beating

When Maidana fought an " old " Erik just a couple of yrs ago. Erik Morales gave Chino hell for 12 rounds and it was close and competitive. JMM is still looking good and only having a bit of trouble with boxers because of movement. Maidana will be there to hit and JMM can crack too. Plus JMM is a genius counter and body puncher...I have JMM on this one , with mush respect to both. If Khan can drop Chino with a body shot, so can Juan.

This fight would be such a war..... the violence involved would be staggering

I agree it will be no walk in the park for either. Horror movie blood bath stuff...lol

JMM KOs maidana out of the ring with one punch.

God that's a great fight. If this got made for next year I'd be ecstatic

I thought about this fight before.

I think it would be tough. Marquez got caught by Katsidis and put on his butt. But he can adapt. I think after you KD Marquez, he analyzes the punch you KD'ed him with and the rounds preceding that KD, he basically avoids that punch until the fight finishes.

I think Marquez wins by decision, because he is so good at adapting, counterpunching, and he packs a punch from 135-147, as shown against Casamayor, Diaz, Katsidis, and Pacquiao.
