Marcos Maidana is overrated

[BrometheusBob.]

Look. Maidana is a C Level fighter. He's a hustle fighter who comes to fight. He is overrated. He gave Floyd a tough fight and all of a sudden everyone forgets who he lost to. That wasn't so long ago. The Broner fight was a good win but Broner was overrated as well. He still put up a good fight and hurt Maidana down the stretch. How come MM didn't finish him???? Did he get a little better under Garcia? Yes. He still has C Level talent. Floyd fans couldn't wait to see how he would've done against Manny, to compare performances. LoL. Manny would disfigure his face just like he did Cheeto and Rios. He's fun to watch because he comes to fight but the Maidana show is OVER. Anytime a fighter gains that type of weight between fights, shows they are not taking their career seriously. When he does finally get back into shape, he will not be the same fighter. He's too rich now.

C Level talent? I hate how NSB makes it seem like having defensive skills = talent but having offensive skills = good hustle/lucky puncher etc. It takes skill to get in position to land the big shots. Just being a big puncher won't win you fights if you don't know how to use it.

I watched the fight again yesterday. Maidana was out on his feet, a big puncher would have finished him in that fight. I'm a Chino fan and I rate him highly but I keep it real. And it doesnt prove anything, he's thick skinned and doesnt bruise easily but gets hit a LOT. % landed proves everything.

sounds like you don't know what out on your feet means but yes a big puncher would have, maidana even says this in an interview.






wow what a terrible defense.

I've been watching boxing since I was a kid, I've had nearly 40 amateur bouts. Trust me I have more knowledge about the ins and outs of boxing than some Maidana fan boy who can't accept his favourite fighter getting criticised. Stop making gifs and watch/analyse actual bouts. He gets hit a lot, short animations can make anyone look great. Maidana has atg defence you won me over.

So Maidana admits he was badly hurt and you're too blind to see it?

maidana was getting hit with punches he couldn't move away from, learn context.

[John Barron]

and i didn't say he had an ATG defense. but you're heavily implying this guy is some sort of punching bag when he clearly isn't.

thats how it works...if you cant move away you get hit. You clearly havent boxed before, you get hit because of positioning, Maidana certainly could have moved out of the way if he was positioned better and didnt leave himself open. Watch the fight and wear your spectacles this time smart ass

You incorrectly interpreted my post, I'm implying I rate him highly but he leaves a lot to be desired. Constructive criticism, stop being so butthurt.

Why cause he posted a few fancy gifs? There's a reason I have 800 quad and that's because I actually analyse strengths and weaknesses and correctly preeict fights. Aldo, I dont try to make my fighter seem complete. Maidana is a solid fighter who gets hit more than he should. Back it up with stats not opinions, punches landed is the biggest stat and it doesn't lie unless you can't read. Defence includes slipping jabs and getting hit by more than 40% of ALL punches= leaky defence.
