How do you rate Marcos Maidana?

[Caught Square]

I remember he said something about having the tooth removed before the Canelo fight.

Anyway on to the topic, Marcos is a very good fighter. Developed a good jab to set up his power punches a little better but i'm still not sure about his overall fitness.

He's probably around top 5-7 at welter imo.

I'm not convinced that he beats Alexander in a rematch

Alexander has the perfect style to beat Maidana I believe, and the chin to implement it. I don't see a rematch being any different.

You already derped yourself anyway, the first picture (on the left) clearly shows Floyd missing a tooth.

Carry on.

He didn't get his tooth knocked out.

How could that punch knock out that tooth?

Maidana is a much different fighter now, not all fighters can improve so dramatically or want to. There is a night and day difference between Post-Garcia Maidana and Pre-Garcia Maidana.

It's like, people don't even pay attention, it's laughable when people bring up past fights like the Khan fight or Devon fight like that has some sort of bearing on what would happen today. Especially since Khan and Devon have arguably regressed or stayed the same.

Marcos Maidana has never been an elite fighter in my opinion. What he has been is an elite entertainer. Someone who is always willing to go in and give you his best, and fights toe to toe with the best of them. This is all you can ask of the guy, and why he always has my attention when he announces fights.

Is he a better fighter now after his two bouts with Floyd Mayweather, Has he learned from those fights or has it taken something out of him

Do you rate him as a top 5 Welterweight or do you rank him lower

I rate him as the fourth third best welterweight behind Mayweather, Pacquaio and Bradley. Following Maidana on my list are Marquez, Brook and a tossup between Khan and Thurman. Hopefully, some of this will be sorted out this summer if we get to see Maidana, Khan or Thurman fight each other and see Brook vs Marquez.

It'd be a more competitive fight this time, but I don't buy the opinion that Maidana is a totally different animal now and would be the favourite against Khan and Alexander. I would actually favour both to beat him, especially Khan

lmfao what happened to Guerrero being the best after Pac and Floyd? You said that just a week ago...

There is a difference but it's no night and day. Maidana isn't an inside fighter, Alexander isn't either but because of his quicker hands he will always get off first and tie up before Maidana can do anything. Maidana still punches too wide that Devon will smother him. I'm not denying that Maidana has improved but it's simply not enough. That much is obvious really.
