Maidana doesn't even have "punchers chance"

[Syf]

Cotto, Canelo, Corrales, DLH, Mosley all had more of a puncher's chance. People need to get real....

With any one shot.. perhaps. But the thing that is being tragically overlooked that ups his "punchers" chance is his approach to fighting. His all out mentality. His relentlessness and so on. I doubt MM is looking to load up single shots. He's looking to throw many shots and disguise the hardest ones with his volume...

As for Corrales give me a break that was prime Floyd. How about we mention Castillo's puncher's chance.. he fell short stopping Floyd, lacked the pop but he dragged a prime Floyd through Hell all the same..

Floyd aint prime no more.. and Maidana is!

All these factors and more combine to give Chino a boost to the typically accepted pecentage of a puncher's chance.

People always end up hyping the underdog's chance to make it interesting for themselves. It's human nature. Your gut reaction when the fight was announced gets overruled, but that's normally the most accurate one.

That's actually a great analysis man.

I hope Maidana wins a round or two, but that's like wishing Santa is real.

People hyping? We are not more than fifteen people here who been rooting for Maidana in this site for years. And we prove a lot of people wrong fight after fight. We believe in Maidana's chances just like before the Broner fight. You are just another boxing fan who makes the safer choise, to praise skills and underate power.

He has a punchers chance, but I don't think he'll have any chance to land it. Even if he does land a big shot, it's gonna take more than one big shot to put down Floyd and you better believe Floyd isn't going down without a fight. Say what you want about the guy personally, but the dragon wins and claws will immediately come out if he's in danger as Naazim said.

Fighters get hurt though and they're more vulnerable to another follow-up shot when that happens. You don't want to be taking flush Maidana shots if you're hurt.

That said, like you I don't think he'll get the chance to land them.

in my case, you wont find posts of me upping ghost, canelo, ortiz, marquez and so on's chances vs Floyd. Its something about Maidana specifically.. not that he's an underdog.

Oh man.... I wanna throw a ****ing shoe at Naazim. I know he wants to sound all wisdom-y.. But the worse thing he could have done is fill his fighter's head with such nonsense. Just build up the myth of a man instead of cultivating the thought that he's actually beatable. Your fighter even had Floyd hurt but lost the mental game because all training camp you were building up Floyd as some mythical beast when hurt, instead of a mortal man that can be hurt and finished.. good job!


Besides........ who's to say Floyd's the only one that will take It to another level when hurt? Last time I checked.. thats Maidana's specialty.

He's tenacious, and he is relentless. That's all we can ask for, Floyd is going to get old in that ring one night...may happen May 3rd. Pun intended.

I don't think you know what a pun is.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Maidana gonna lose by a wide margin,, his attacking style is gonna bring the best out of Floyd and I think Maidana gets sliced up coming in... He won't quit but Floyd is just too good for him

You make a good point but this could very well get Maidana taken out, which I'm leaning towards. Mayweather has improved considerably in the pocket since his Castillo struggles though, again we'll see, we won't agree here for the most part but one thing we can count on is an exciting fight.

Garcia is going in the other direction with this BUT the impression he is giving us all is that Maidana has little chance.
