    bojangles1987 is right, expect for Pac and Floyd the next 8 in line are pretty close in Rankings.

    Maidana vs Thurman,Brook,Khan,Bradley,Porter could go either way, hard fights to call with any certainty. Maidana vs Devon would also be closer this time.

      We'll see.....................if he ever starts training again. He made some real money so who knows what his mental state is. Some guys need to be hungry to perform, he isn't hungry any more. Now its about pride!

          Pac, Marquez, Brook, Floyd, Thurman, Alexander, Rios, and Bradley all beat him at 147 IMO.
          He beats at least 3/4 of those guys. Top 5

              and why not bradleyt

              braldey lost to pac, to ruslan, and had a draw with diego chaves

              but let me guess bradley would box doe!!! LOL

              bradley is so ovverated it's hilarious

              he has **** stamina, zero power, and terrible technique when he throws punches, zero jab

              the guy barely got by JMM . jmm l aned more power punches bnradley just ran away from th e old man

              maidana would leave him on the canvas.

                  One thing is for sure. Maidana was rated higher by a lot of people before the Mayweather fights.

                  There was a time he was talked about like he was a killer on here.

                  I think he'd probably beat Alexander now. Good chance to beat Bradley. He'd beat Rios, and I like him vs. Marquez.

                    I rate him about 7 or 8 Really good fighter but has obvious flaws that most of the top fighters would take advantage of. Right now I rank Pacquiao, Mayweather, Marquez, Bradley, Thurman, Brook, and Kahn above him and I would most of them to beat him.

                      I think the first Floyd fight really got a lot of people hyping Maidana up. Most people gave him no chance of winning but then he came in and ruffed Floyd up and came very close to beating him.

                      The second fight was when Maidana really started getting hype and rightfully so.

                      I can't see him beating Bradley, not even on his best day. Bradley is just too skilled and versatile. I see Bradley getting a 116-112 type decision.

                      And I also think Rios would be a terrible match up for him. Say what you want about Rio but his chin is solid and his inside game is top notch. He possibly stops Maidana late or outhustles him to a 115-113 type decision.

                      I agree that'll he'll probably beat Alexander and Marquez at this point.
