Why do so many people think this? This is a huge misconception. Maidana is the polar opposite of those things: fast and skilled.Floyd's counter punching and pot shotting are the reasons his opponents don't recklessly brawl like Madaina... They get gun shy after a while because he has tremendous accuracy... Floyd May not have a lot of power but he has pop in those punches... After awhile they start to hurt... Madaina is way too slow and not skilled enough or Floyd... Easy UD just like Canelo... After the fight you'd claim he picked a weak opponent in Madaina, even though today you say he'd never pick Madaina because "he has the style"...
Does he have an ugly style? Yes.
But is he effective? Yes.Comment

Cheers, its the use of the jab, combinations and his set up of his power shots. Before Garcia trained him Maidana was a one trick pony looking for that overhand right all night.
Now he will throw a jab to the body, then 2 up top. As Garcia says "if you throw in Combinations instead of one shot, they might block shot one, or two but at least one will get through" Add Maidana's power to that and its bad news for his opponents.Comment

I found another person who recognizes Maidana's abilities as a fighter at the world class level.
Although this fan appears a bit extreme.Comment

People also forget that Maidana rolls punches too. And he moves his head. There was a moment in the Jesus Soto Karass fight where Chino rolled all of the incoming punches. Was it pretty? No. But was it effective? Yes.Cheers, its the use of the jab, combinations and his set up of his power shots.

About the "careful" matchmaking of Maidana's
give me a break. This guy has been brought in the opponent so many times and upset the apple cart, this is the about the last guy who people would say was being carefully matched. Nobody bats an eye when unknown fighters like Maidana lose or get robbed and go back to their country never to be seen again. Careful matchmaking lolComment

Guerrero is kinda on the shelf at this point. He just unsuccessfully tried to break out of his contract with Golden Boy. Failed. And before the suit, Golden Boy tried to pair him in a fight with Keith Thurman, but Guerrero turned the fight down.wouldn't mind seeing Maidana fight Floyd, but he has no chance
much prefer Maidana-Thurman, that would be great
if Garcia wants to try WW, he and Maidana can be a good fight
whatever happened to Guerrero? he took his check and went home
hell, anybody at WW is a better fight than for him than Floyd
if he wants money, go for it, but no way Maidana gets shut out
And I'm sure Golden Boy is also pissed he even dared to break out of his contract after giving him the Mayweather fight that he begged them for years for.Comment

That is true, he has improved parts of his defense since the Devon fight. Defense will always be a weakness for him but his great toughness and offence makes it work.Comment

Agreed. The last time Maidana was the "A" side was against Josesito Lopez.About the "careful" matchmaking of Maidana's
