    Yes it is more of a mismatch. I thought Guerrero would have beaten Maidana a couple years back before their fight was called off.

    I think Broner's defensive inabilities make people think Maidana will be able to land on Floyd. I think Broner's lack of counter punching in the pocket make people forget Maidana is easy to hit.

    Mayweather is not Broner. He's going to constantly move in and out of Maidana's range. He's going to throw counter punches when he plants his feet. He's longer, bigger, stronger, has more power. It's likely that this fight mirrors the Baldomir one more than the Cotto one for example.

      It's similar. Maidana's at least as good as the Ghost IMO.

        I'd say they're about equal
        Maidana maybe a bit more because of power
        Guerrero was a southpaw with length
        Maidana is a very unpredictable fighter with power

          There is one important thing preventing that fight. Mayweather doesn't want to fight Lara.

            If I could bet this fight I'd take that Maidana gets disqualified around the 8th or 9th. He's gonna try to rough up May weather to no end and elbows, low blows, headbutts, everything but the kitchen sink and he will get DQ...He has no chance but a lucky punch. Only someone with speed, power and good movement can beat Floyd..Manny Pacquaio anyone??

              Floyd vs. Guerrero was the bigger mismatch, but not by that much.

                I would say there is not much in it but Guerrero did better than Canelo to me, if Maidana can do a bit better than that could make it fairly entertaining.
