    Roberto Garcia vs Maidana

    Would love to see this fight. Garcia recently signed with Haymon so expect to see him fighting some top 10 guys soon.

    Garcia is the bigger guy and definitely takes a better punch, he's one of the toughest guys at 147. He has a better inside game and is physically stronger than Maidana, although he probably doesn't hit as hard.

    This would be a toe to toe war and I would pick Garcia to outwork Maidana.

      No, Garcia's workrate is garbage, Maidana easily takes that. It needs to be Maidana vs Porter, Garcia, Thurman, Khan II, Bradley, Alexander II (? )...anything less than that is a disappointment.

        Margs didn't bully him, he boxed and didn't go toe to toe. Also the the KD was a flash KD. Maidana has been knocked down by much lesser fighters than Margs.

          It would be a tough fight for both guys but Garcia is bigger and can pack a punch. Maidana has been hurt and dropped by Josesito lopez and Khan. As long as Garcia lets his hands go he should be able to hurt Maidana, especially with that left hook to the body.

              Garcia took that fight on short notice and had promotional problems for 2 1/2 years leading up to that fight so he had to fight in costa rica.

              He returned and had a quick stay busy fight then the margarito fight came up.

              he wasnt mentally prepared for that hostile environment against a fighter who was still good in Margarito.

              The ref was horrible in that fight and Tonys game plan of boxing threw off Garcia but he still put in good work vs Tony in those last 4 rounds

                  Is this serious?

                  I think it's safe to say that it would be a relatively easy night for Maidana.

                    Bullied? What fight did you watch? Margarito was running away at the end of the fight. He clearly did not want a war with Garcia that night.
