    Is Maidana's power OVER RATED?

    I know he KO'ed Victor and Cayo, BUT.......

    He didnt KO an old, washed up, DeMarcus Corley who is 1-6 in his last 7 fights.....

    He didnt KO Amir Khan, who is known to have a soft chin, and has been KO'ed by Prescott who has shown he is nothing great since that win.....

    And went 12 rounds with a 140 pound Morales, that was slow, and out of shape.... He fought on pure heart.....

    So I ask again, do you guys think his power is over rated?

    Yes Ive been saying this. His KO % is a bit misleading. Hes more heavy handed than anything.

    Ortiz quit, he didnt get KTFO.

      I think he has great power but just needs to work on his accuracy. Sometimes he swings like a wild man in a bar fight.

          No its not....that is all he has and has won many fights.

          Just look at his opponents faces after the fights.

          Morales was too skilled and knew how to move with the punches

            Naw. The dude can punch with legit power. Hes not accurate and wastes energy though.

            But yeah the kid can ****.

                Maidana put Khan on ***** street twice. The kid can punch, he is just too barbaric with his boxing.

                  the hype behind him is misleading. he can ****, but he has poor conditioning and swings like a wild man, and he's not too accurate. if you have the balls to fight him, you can beat him. but most of his opponents who've gotten tagged by him try to stay on the outside and not really go toe to toe with him. khan was too fast for him, and morales was too skilled for him. i can't say anything about kotelnik cause i never followed his career and don't know much about him. maidana is a pressure fighter with power. the best word to describe maidana would be 'intimidating'

                    Maybe Morales' chin is underrated? I dunno
