Comments Thread For: Garcia: Maidana Earned Mayweather With Broner Win

[Jim Tom]

He might have done a good job on Broner but failed to galvanise people to vote for him and therefore filed to prove his commercial relevance. In the end people voted for Amir Khan because he has a bigger profile. People forget that boxing is a business. This is a very hard fight to sell generally so if Maidana failed to convince people to vote for him how can he convince people to buy the fight?

[Gypsy John Fury]

Classy guy. He himself earns a shot more than Khan, but isn't moaning.
Maidana does deserve the fight most. Khan only won the vote as he has so many followers on social media. Proportionally fat fewer of his "followers" are actual boxing fans. This whole "speed" factor is irrelevant too; yes Khan can throw very very fast, but it's about timing and a whole host of other attributes. If Diaz almost solved the Khan riddle, Mayweather certainly will.

The truth is that Maidana is the first fighter that have shown a convincing way have to beat the mayweater stye of fighting.

Maidanas relentless attacking, throwing looping right hands from up high, and explosive combination punching, is exactly have you destroy the phillyshell.

Every time I watch Floyd fight I keep yelling at the screen saying that his apponent needs to do exactly what Maidana did

In other words Floyd will never fight Maidana

true story...

Garcia is right..

I agree. Obviously at ww-tim, jmm, and manny, are ranked ahead of Maidana. Tim and Manny are better ww opponents. Expanding to 154, Lara would be better than Maidan IMO.

So i think he is the 4th best option overall and the 2nd best of whose available.

Don't you have to put Alexander ahead of Chino? In turn putting Porter ahead of him too.

Trust me Maidana would have manslaughtered glassjaw Pacquiao with such terrible defensive game and footwork.

Pacquiao as a welterweight is nothing but an overhyped top rank fraud.

Pacquiao's faced two legit A leveled boxers off top top 10 p4p list on his welterweight journey (Bradley, Marquez) and lost all these bouts.

He's lost twice to Juan Marquez lost to Bradley and he's going to do that again on April 12.

How the f.uck did Maidana show how to beat the Mayweather style? Because he beat Broner? Just because a muthaf.ucka shoulder rolls doesn't mean he fights like Floyd. First and foremost, Broner's skill level isn't in the universe as Floyd's. Second of all, he doesn't even use the should roll properly. Lastly, Floyd uses lateral movement and counters all that bull**** Maidana throws anyway. All AB does is stand in front of people and turns his shoulders. And when they stop punching, he starts stalking. And and he doesn't even stalk properly. Which is why he's open to be countered himself. GTFOH with that bull**** you talking about.

IMO Maidana is ahead of Porter but I can understand why you would place Porter there.

While I would respectfully disagree (i think manny beat Bradley and I would think he'd outbox Maidan to a UD win) I fully support your right to express your opinion and support it with facts.

Marquez only beat him once officially. I say this because you bring up Bradley's win over Pacquiao as if it wasn't a blatant robbery. Like you Flomos like to say, can't have it both ways
