Floyd vs Maidana a bigger mismatch that Floyd vs Guerrero?

[boliodogs]

Maidana has fast hands and throws lots of punches from all angles. He is the underdog for sure but so is everybody who fights Mayweather. Maidana earned the fight by beating the hell out of Broner so clearly Maidana has some good speed and skill. If you like Maidana then just root for him to win instead of calling the fight a mismatch. All of boxing's many upsets were considered upsets because the fight was thought to be a mismatch. I am just glad the guy who earned the fight got the fight. I hope Maidana is very well paid because he will fight his heart out.

I'd rather watch Floyd/Maidana than Floyd/Guerrero. At least with Maidana there's the slim prospect of a home run shot. Guerrero was never going to knock out Floyd or outbox him. How much did Guerrero get for that fight to be a sparring partner?

Great point.

No way. Guerrero is the biggest high profile, wtf fight out there for me. Never understood that fight. Guerrero didn't even remotely have name value. Maidana has name value dating back to his destruction of the "supposed" next superstar in Ortiz.

Guerrero makes Maidana look slick and fast. Guerrero got the fight by beating Berto. He might as well of beat a dead horse. Even Karass made easy work of Berto. Then to fight and beat Berto the way he did and come out and try to "Box" Mayweather. Another huge WTF surrounding that fight.

Besides Guerrero being a little rangier, there is no aspect of boxing or physical traits that Garcia has on Maidana.

Mayweather's greatest threats (Tim Bradley, Manny Pacquiao Sergio Martinez and Gennady Golovkin) are not in the mix by their mere association with either Top Rank or HBO so its doesn't matter anymore who he fights

He can face Lara. There is absolutely nothing preventing that fight.

Yes Mayweather/Guerrero was a huge mismatch but i'd say this one is an even greater mismatch.


Floyd fans - "at least it's better than Khan doe"

Yes Mayweather/Guerrero was a huge mismatch but i'd say this one is an even greater mismatch.


Floyd fans - "at least it's better than Khan doe"

Floyd fans - "..... its a business. Khan fight is good because it drives up the PPV numbers"

Floyd fans - "..... there is nobody else, so that is why Khan is OK fight"

Floyd fans - "..... If Khan is easy, well they are all easy for Floyd"

Once Maidana gets in the picture:

Floyd fans - "at least it's better than Khan doe"

Floyd fans - "..... but GB will stack the undercard"

Floyd fans - "..... Maidana is a good pick for May because he is Latin"

Floyd fans - "..... but it's better than Manny vs Rios"

Floyd fans - "..... but they are with TR, so that's why....."

Floyd fans - "..... it's OK because it means that in September Floyd will fight a real threat"

Floyd fans - "..... but Maidana got a title (beating Broner who had problems with Paulie)"

Floyd fans - "..... its a good fight because I want to see how Floyd does against a (another flat-footed) pressure fighter"

Floyd fans - "..... Maidana beat Berto, I mean Broner"

Floyd fans - "..... With the stacked cards, Maidana FIGHT is better than Bradley vs Manny!!!" What?

So everyone saying yes, name one thing that Guerrero could have done to win the Floyd fight? His only chance was to outwork him, and he didn't even try that. I understand that the guy he was in the Berto fight isn't who he had been in every other fight, but that was his only chance.

I won't even get into who would win between Guerrero and Maidana. That's a triangle theory in a way. I think Maidana white washes Guerrero, but still, pointless in who has the better chance against Floyd.

Maidana possesses the only thing between the two that could win this fight for them and that is power.

I understand people hate Floyd (as d I), but discrediting Maidana as if he's Guerrero level is disrespectful to him. Guerrero is a slow, average boxer, with no power.

I agree. All respect to Chino he's gonna bring the fight I'm sure he'll Pressure Floyd the first few rounds like Hatton did. But let's face it he's a fighter with no footwork on top of that he has to plant his feet in order for him to get some decent shots in. Those are only 2 attributes of many needed to beat Floyd. Floyds gonna be making him turn his body thru out the fight and capitalize on it. Chinos only chance to win is to go in there rough him up from the get go make the fight as dirty as you can and hurt Floyd with a Haymaker and FINISH HIM!! ( mortal kombat voice )
