WAR Maidana!!!! Still underrated and disrespected, Chino earns his respect with his fists!!!

Ellerbe basically said what I have beensaying since the fight as been annouced, but the facts fall on deaf ears.

I think oscar didnt look his best.. and chico was strong for his size..

as such.. I think measuring punching power irrespective of p4p.. canelo probably has that honor. Young strong prime.. a jr middleweight.. so on. Maidana 2nd.

p4p.. chico was probably p4p best. Maidana has alot of power p4p too. Its interesting he's at the top of the p4p power list and the power list in general of Floyds opponents.


But none of that is what gives Chino his "it" factor to me. Floyd has faced powerful guys. Im most excited about Chino's style and mindset, paired with his power.

What do u guys want? It's 3 other champions at 147 besides Money May, he's fighting one of them, the other two had or have fights scheduled. Would you guys rather have Mayweather sit on his butt for a year waiting for Pac Mac to leave toprank or stay active and fresh by taking on guys like maidana. You people are delusional, I'm not for Pac or May but I swear a lot you guys have the reasoning skills that let's me know you don't possess anything more than a middle school education. Martinez is fighting cotto and he's a middleweight, Lara is fighting Canelo and doesn't have much name recognition, if he picked Keith thurman you all would say he picked an unproven power puncher....Some people are never satisfied

Ellerbe paying his respect to the champ. CHINOOOO

Idk, we will have to see about that...i doubt maidana will hit floyd as clean or as hard as shane mosely did...

Washed-up Mosley > Prime Maidana.
Shane had Floyd seeing stars during that 2nd round.

BTW, Josesito lopez said that maidana hits harder than canelo. I think ill take his word over a bunch of keyboard warriors.

If you're a boxing fan how can u not watch the Floyd fights??? And just cuz u watch all of them doesn't mean they're exciting fights.

Mosely beat mora easily in my opinion.....maidana got beat by khan,and alexander....this is a different fight, but maidana is fighting the best defensive fighter of this era....you need speed to hit floyd clean these days, like judah,mosely,dlh, and cotto, hell canelo landed sum shots..but maidana is slower then the fighters ive mentioned....floyd keeps it in the center he wins big imo, maidana has a chance against the ropes to land something big, but that chance is less then 10% imo.

I forgot about that.. so Maidana could very well be #1
