"Dinamita" Marquez vs "The Blueprint" Maidana @147: Who wins?

[LoadedWraps]

It would be an instant classic I have no doubt about it

An instant classic!!!

I'd put my money on Marquez winning by TKO. He'd match Maidana punch for punch, whilst lasting the sharper and more effective punches. I'd expect Marquez to get dropped, but by the 8th round I'd see him teeing off on Maidana.

Jmm body work would be the defining key to the fight . Marquez's body head combos are superb and enough to edge the win

Jmm by tko. A class c-level fighter will not give marquez any trouble.

If you don't admit Maidana is a B+ class fighter at worst, your opinion doesn't deserve respect because there is no factual evidence suggesting otherwise which means you either don't know what you are talking about, or haven't watched him, both cases revoking our opinion on the subject.

Maidana couldn't KO a fossilized Morales and Amir Khan (both men who ended up outboxing him), but he's going to KO/TKO one of the most resilient and tough fighters of this generation? I have no problem with people saying Maidana would win, he's the bigger man and in his prime while Marquez is 40+, but let's not talk nonsense here. Styles make fights and just because he looked good against defensive minded fighters like Mayweather and Broner doesn't mean he'll just walk through Marquez. JMM would welcome Maidana to come forward aggressively as it would present him with numerous openings and counter shots. The only reason this fight seems close to call or some would favor Maidana is because Marquez is old and has no legs anymore; Maidana would have been tailor made for prime Marquez if they had been in the same division.

I agree with this, even though at this stage of JMM's career I can absolutely see Maidana getting the W.

Different versions of Maidana, and people talk about Morales like a tomato can in that fight because he was over the hill, it's still Morales, a freaking legend. It was a good fight and a good win, the hate needs to stop.

Regardless I think this is a great fight and if the cold war ended I would like to see it made.

Not to mention Morales arguably beat Danny Garcia a year later.

That's true, but Maidana isn't your typical come forward fighter, he is crafty and has slick moments.
