        The fact that Maidana can actually hurt Mayweather would actually mean he literally has no chance, Mayweather is Mayweather and he is actually extra careful with people with speed.

          Guerrero is horrible with no power. Maidana is better than him in every aspect. Guerrero was hardly known as it was and forgotten as soon as the fight against Mayweather was over. Maidana will live on in the hearts of boxing fans for many decades. Maidana vs Mayweather is a great matchup and I can guarantee that Maidana will put up a better fight and performance than Guerrero and Canelo combined.

            My thoughts exactly.

              Naw, Canelo actually landed a few shots each rd. Guerrero didn't land **** all fight.

                Guerrero landed just as much as Canelo did and he actually tried some different stuff while Canelo fought the same losing battle over and over again. The Ghost showed more than Canelo did and tried harder while Canelo became content to get beat.

                Guerrero did better I stand by that, and in comparison to expectation he certainly did better.

                  Yeah not only is it a bigger mismatch than May/Guerrero, its also much bigger mismatch than Pac/Rios cos Pac was knockout cold in his previous fight and was fighting Rios who is the bigger guy who comes forward throwing bombs..

                  Rios also was beating up Maidana in sparring.

                  May/Maidana will be like May/Gatti all over again.

                    I don't agree with that at all. What annoys me even more are people acting like Canelo got Gatti'd. Canelo won 3 rds on my scorecard. Refs had it 116-112, 117-111, and 114-114.

                    The 114-114 is a joke, but my point stands. The success Mayweather had in that fight is severely overstated. Canelo landed, Mayweather landed clearer. Neither landed at a high rate. I don't know what it is about that fight, but for whatever reason 99% of fans out there seem to think Canelo got gatti'd, when in reality Mayweather Klitchscko vs Haye'd his way to a win with mostly jabs.

                    I didn't like Canelos gameplan at all, nor did I like Guerreros original plan. Yes in expectation, you could say Guerrero did better, but I have a hard time with that, because he didn't win a rd, and got smashed up on a regular basis. If Mayweather didn't have such fragile hands he likely would have stopped him.

                      hell no. maidana is much more awkward and hits way harder than guerrero and is just naturally a pressure/brawler fighter. Guerrero is slow as ****.
