Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Maidana, The Hardest Puncher of Floyd's Career

[Showtime..]

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.

If Mosley hadn't gone away from his jab, he should have adapted to Floyd's adaptions and worked his fast jab. the fight could have been pretty equal, maybe even Floyd going down once if Mosley sneaks in another big shot. I could have seen Floyd sneaking it out like the Cotto fight if Mosley wears out.

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

Amir Kahn speed & glass chin> Maidana's slow power & heart
Speed troubles Floyd, Maidana doesn't have that, Kahn does. Hopefully Kahn Tko's Collazo or Lara beats Canelo & Floyd will fight one of them.

Never been punched by any of them so it is possible

Hand Picked Opponents

Mayweather and Ellerbe really try to hype up handpicked opponents. They know Maidana is too sloppy to win, but they use his win over Broner to justify. Broner is a hype job that has not beaten any real fighters yet

Khan doesnt make it past round 5 vs mayweather, Floyd ices amir with a right hand. But...But..But...Amir has speed mate! Yeah like floyd has never seen speed before

MAIDANA didn't stop GLASS JAW KHAN,ERIK MORALES with one eye,old and flat hurt badly MAIDANA in many occasions,ALEXANDER played with MAIDANA,CHINO is there only because he upset BRONER,i repeat BRONER not BRADLEY,GARCIA or JMM but a guy that had only one fight at 147 with PAULIE and almost LOSE IT;....ELLERBIE WANTS TO MAKE PEOPLE SEE THE GOLD WHERE THERE IS NO GOLD!!!

Canelo hits harder than Marcos

[Fidel456]

I hope people can understand that maidana is a 140 pounder that hits hard. He is not the biggest puncher floyd has ever faced. Trying to sell us the fight by saying that is a insult to us. But sadly 90‰ of boxing fans do believe it.

There was no way Mosley was ever going to beat Floyd, ever. He lost to Winky Wright (2x) Vernon Forrest (2x) and Cotto, all of those guys are good boxers... Floyd is much better than all of them at pure boxing, anyone thinking 40 year old Mosley had any chance was smoking the good stuff, send some my way please.

Wow! Sure are alotta ex-sparring partners of Maidana, DLH, Cotto, Canelo, Corrales, Canelo, Mosley et al on this thread. How else would you guys know how hard Maidana can punch compared to the others? HA!

By that rationale, how would Ellerbe know?

I agree with many that Mosley is the hardest puncher Floyd has faced. His record speaks for itself.
