Maidana not a big puncher?

[daggum]

corley actually beat maidana. maidana's power is definitely overrated.

[Interloper]

Maidana's power is not overrated at all. He hits extremely hard. At the elite level, however, you're not going to put everybody you touch to sleep. He also lacks the timing, speed, and skills to set up his shots effectively.

[boliodogs]

He probably doesn't hit quite as hard as Matthysse but he still is a great puncher with both hands. Maidana is famous for his punching power. Part of his deadliness comes from his fast combinations. Hard punch after hard punch coming from both hands and all angles.

He was able to rock TBE several times with those pillow gloves. Imagine if he was able to wear his everlast MX gloves. Ask Broner. Lmao.........

Maidana is a big puncher. If he's not then who the **** is? Is he P4P #1. No, buit he's up there with the best in the sport. It's silly as **** to say otherwise. Fickle boxing fans picking at straws again.

His power is very overrated. Couldn't even crush Khan's glass chin after endless hayemakers

[John Barron]

His straight punches have power but just not enough speed behind them. The thing is, faster more well rounded guys he has boxed can see those straight shots coming and most of the time can avoid them landing flush. His secret weapon and power punch is that over hand right. He has serious power with it and speed. It's just an awkward angle that he throws his right hook which gives him decent speed. His overhand right while the most powerful punch he has is by far the most accurate one he throws. If you are in range and not responding to his feints then he will wreck you with it repeatedly until you are on the canvas. He is a great finisher if he doesn't gas out late in the fight. Maidana when he's in the ring at all times is looking to land that overhand right.

this right here.

maidana doesn't have the speed or the timing to one hit ko guys but his power breaks you down over time.

zab isn't known to be a heavy handed puncher but he put danny on ***** street a couple of times with fast, well-timed punches.

it gets difficult to score one shot knockouts at the top level with just power.

After the "chinny" Khan beat Maidana, all of a sudden it became alright to face him. Khan busted the hype.

Well said, Ward was stating this about Thurman I think that at World Championship level you have guys who can absorb punishment better and still produce their own.

Unless of course the puncher sets it up where the opponent doesn't see it coming and the ones you don't see coming hurt the most.

Dude is definitely heavy handed. You must understand at highest level in boxing, you can't just knock boxers out all the time.

Agreed...as the level of opposition increases knockout rates generally decrease...
