    Thurman wins easy. He moves well and can box if necessary.

      I love the point you raised about Maidana going 3-0 against hype jobs. That should be like his new nick name.

        I think Thurman knocks him out The Bundu fight has everyone hypnotized. Boxing fans have the memory of a fly. Bundu is awkward, there is a reason he was undefeated. Maidana is awkward too, and far better, and Keith will be retreating part of the time but I think the fight changes dramatically when Thurman lands. One of two things happen, either Maidana backs off and Thurman ends up winning a decision or he goes for broke, in which case, although he may catch his man and overwhelm Thurman, I believe Thurman will know how to handle it, to a degree at least, and end up hurting Maidana and finishing him with a big shot.

        This would be a good fight. Maidana could eat him for breakfast but may end up eating some fists. Make it happen.

          Good thing about Thurman is that he studies his opponents and will probably focus on Maidanas body. But Maidana can upset anybody and has the power to do so. Soul live this fight to happening

            What is Maidana saying? Did he respond to Thurman calling him out?

              I don't know about easy but I'm pretty convinced he'd win in an 8 rounds to 4, or 7 rounds to 5 fight. I just don't see how Maidana wins unless he lands a big shot that KOs Thurman. Thurman will outbox him so Maidana will need a KO to win.
