Floyd vs Maidana Is As Much A Mismatch As Pacquiao vs Rios

[_original_]

lol people can't seriously be taking this Khan loving troll serious now, can they?

While I don't think think Maidana has much chance against Mayweather (very few if any do from 147lbs to 154lbs) I can only see people cutting into Maidana to make this point. Is that because there's pretty much nothing great, especially at welterweight, to say about Brandon Rios? Let's put it this way. At least Maidana actually won a fight before a possible shot at Mayweather. What had Brandon Rios done?

The same people that have been giving Mayweather crap all these years for taking easier opponents are now clamoring for Maidana....the irony. Just goes to show how hate exposes the ******.

Smh. Dude u are a serious Stan.

you think maidana is better?

rios beats maidana up in sparring and maidana would only be interesting for the first 3 rounds vs floyd before he blows his load

rios can keep floyd working, no?

A fight in 2010 has nothing to do with today's current state in boxing going into 2014. Khan is 2-2 his last 4 fights, which includes him getting knocked down and rattled in his last fight. Maidana current statues in boxing and buzz wise is better than Khan. And a Maidana fight would actually have a storyline, a Khan fight has none.

I agree with your point the fight carries a storyline. People seem to underrate how great of a story Mayweather vs Maidana would be. Broner lost, improved fighting skill in Maidana, Mayweather a year older, Maidana hunger.

The thing is that people see one fight and then they say "He should fight Floyd next, ....."

Have we not seen this scenario time after time? When will people realize that Floyd has been beating those kind of hyped up fighters at WW since like forever!!! This is the exact same scenario that we saw with Ortiz, Guerrero and so on. When will people learn?

This was Broner's second fight at WW. If Paulie had decent power, Broner would have lost to Paulie EASILY!!!

Floyd will move, hold and counter more effectively than Broner. The only thing that I do agree is that Maidana has certain attributes that give fighters who use the shoulder roll trouble. Again, if Floyd moves, will Maidana still be as effective? Lot's of questions ...... the Broner fight answered just one!

This right here ^^^^^
FFS people a win versus a hypejob doesn't mean you can beat Floyd. SMH

[The Surgeon]

Floyd would toy with Chino and im a Maidana fan. It would be a mismatch. I want Maidana to get a shot at history and a big payday but as a true fan of the sport i really want to see the great Mayweather tested in his final few fights

[Da Machine]

First off, what has Rios ever done to show he is at Maidana's level. NOTHING.

Secondly, if you don't see any improvements in Maidana's game, then your level of boxing interpretation is stuck in newb land.

And at last, no one favors Maidana against Mayweather, but he has earned it, and you know he will go all out, and Garcia will lay down a decent gameplan. He's not going to be a FUCKING IDIOT and try to box with Mayweather like every opponent seems to think they can do. Turn into FUCKING SRL before the fight.

Maidana is proven at 147, has a much better resume, hits harder and generally does most things better than Rios

And how do you know Rios beats him up in sparring? Because Rios said so? All he actually said was his punches don't hurt him.

What's even funnier is that some of the people who give Floyd crap are actually pushing for him to fight Khan
