The Maidana Myth

[Syf]

People who say Maidana has failed every time he stepped up in class are wrong.

He beat an undefeated Victor Cayo. Morales still had some in the tank when Maidana fought him, and he beat a tough challenge in Petrov. I had him up against Kotelnik as well. Not to mention, Ortiz, who Mayweather and Canelo both deemed worthy to face.

Maidana lost to Khan because Khan moved the whole fight and boxed from the outside, and was protected on the inside by the Ref. 1 hand free and still broken up every time. Khan was much more cautious against Maidana than he was against Danny.

Devon pretty much employed the same tactic as Cayo with better defense.

Fact of the matter is anyone that has chosen to face this man toe to toe has met an untimely demise. Give this man his due, he is no bum, it makes me sick when so called boxing fans call him that.

He has dynamite in his fists, a killer right hand, and a mysteriously unreported yet equally devastating body attack.

Maidana is showing some improved technique recently along with his usual aggressive style.

I'm thinking Maidana is competitive against anyone at 140 right now.

Would like to see Garcia-Maidana, but I think Garcia would be exposed. Don't think they'll let that happen.

He's just plain fun to watch. Can't see how you can hate the guy. He's given almost everyone a tough fight.

What's the difference between shot and washed up?

Morales still had some of that old spark left in him. He just doesn't have the youth and vigor anymore.

Morales was shot to bits, it clearly showed Maidana is nothing rather than Morales found some of his old magic IMO

Ortiz has never beaten anybody, a hypejob quitter & Cayo lol

Cayo getting rated now because he arguably beat Paulie ''Hands of stone'' Malignaggi.


I don't want to nitpick but I feel you're clutching at straws trying to convince yourself really that his resume is better than it is.

No he didnt if he was even 50 percent of his old self he would have beaten Maidiana...dude has been done and hasnt looked good at all since the 2nd Manny fight

[Larry the boss]

Maidiana isnt really good at all,he is exciting yes,but not very good

[dan_cov]

He has a few ''good'' wins but nothing great.

He went life and death with an 84yr old Chop Chop Corley but I suppose Corley had some left in the tank because he beat Paul McCluskey lol

So when people fight ****** against him they lose. lol

Maidana is nothing more than a limited brawler with a good chin and decent power if your standing right in front of him and trading.
