Maidana doesn't even have to land clean to hurt his opponent.
And if he lands clean you're going down, i.e. Broner knockdowns and first Victor Ortiz knockdown.
Maidana wobbles Adrien Broner with an awkward right hand to the side of the head.
Maidana rocks Josesito Lopez so badly with a right hand he turns his back. How often do you see that happen?
Maidana knocks down Victor Cayo with an awkward left hook to the side of the head.
I hope he does hurt Floyd with a shot or two because that will really be his only shot to win. Otherwise, Floyd will be so much faster than him and be able to move around the ring so much that Maidana will have limited spots to be effective. His approach to the fight though will not to box Floyd but to just attack him which is a much better approach than the vast majority of Floyd's opponents.
Alexander ain't much of a puncher and he had Maidana hurt multiple times, especially to the body. Doesn't matter though, lets believe that a pot shot won't do it when it's stopped much bigger and stronger men than Maidana from coming forward or maybe Maidana ends up like Hatton.
Maywaether never goes to the body he pot shots the head all night
Iron-chinned Josesito Lopez gets rocked badly from a punch that didn't land clean. Lopez turns his back. Boy, Maidana can punch!
Maidana is the hardest puncher i've seen in person in years (not that i've seen em all) but i try to attend fights when I can. I was in the last row of a loud, sold out fight and I could hear and feel those punches on Lopez. I havent heard shots like that since... Mosley-Mayorga and Mosley-Marg which I got to attend. I wrote about it before the Broner fight - I did feel AB was going to win, but I said if he thought he was just gonna sit there and take the force of those shots on his shoulder, etc he had another thing coming. He looks worse on TV I'll just say that. His power was surprising
as well as his ability to cover distance. And keep in mind, this was in the same ring that people said was padded as to impede Lara's movement in his fight against Angulo. I guess he is stationary at time, but he's not exactly flat footed like people ust casually throw around. Perhaps he will look like he's stuck in mud against Floyd, but as it relates to every one else..hes not flatfooted that's ridiculous

Agreed.
Look at how Maidana leaps in gracefully without compromising his balance. There is such precision and timing in this clip. People just don't like him cause he's not Floyd Mayweather. It's downright disrespectful to call Maidana flatfooted.
