Are we over hyping Maidana?

[koolttt]

Hes a different fighter since joining Garcia. He would murder Khan and Alexander if they fought today.

[spsherm]

He had Khan is some trouble toward the end of their fight.

[Los Zetas]

Broner is JUST above Paulie...

tells you something.

Lopez broke a soft mans jaw but what?

Soto KaraSS? pLZ

mAIDANA IS TE SAME.

Khan, alexander beat him

kotelnik did too technically he needed a KO to win there though

khan dropped him lol

[punchr]

no he wasnt

This.

Anyone who thinks Lopez almost stopped Chino didn't watch the fight closely.

Maidana beat Lopez in second gear.

[punchr]

The biggest win from a skill standpoint? Or a promoting/marketing standpoint. I agree beating Broner was big for his name, but it didn't make him show any type of brilliance in the ring. It was a simple, effective gameplan.

You're nitpicking and overanalyzing Maidana's recent fights looking to discredit him and find flaws.

If you don't like exciting fighters that's your decision.

Maidana's fights give me the most excitement unquestionably.

You may not like him, but he wins in violent fashion. If you want to criticize him over his losses go ahead. But Devon Alexander blatantly broke the Marquess of Queensberry rules in his fight with Maidana. And Khan didn't completely dominate Maidana. Amir certainly took some brain trauma after that fight.

So if you think losing in that fashion makes him overrated go ahead and think that. I'm gonna still watch Maidana fight for the rest of his career and even bet cold, hard cash on him.

Both Maidana and Khan are over hyped. But Maidana is more exciting and on a win streak. Beating Broner is like beating Berto, overrated.

[Jack Napier]

no, the Broner luster has cooled by now
and Maidana never popped up in fantasy fights vs greats
that's usually the overhyped sign around here
people recognize Maidana as a tough but limited crowd pleaser
haven't seen anybody plug him to a ridiculous level yet

na, but its been a long time since floyd has faced a pressure fighter who has that "no respect for anybody attitude,". its that attitude that roberto duran had, the same that pacquiao had in younger days.

What happened to that attitude when he got dropped by Ortiz twice, Dropped by Khan, outpointed by both Kotelnik and Alexander. Look at the wins he has and tell me one pure boxer he has beaten, and please don't mention the poor mans over hyped version of Floyd

[A-Wolf]

Haven't really seen it. The're still reeling from Matthysse.
