Marcos Maidana "I did everything I could, I think my cycle in boxing is done"

[IFightDirty]

I don't even think its unfortunate. I'd like to see more guys get out early. Maidana gave us some fun fights. He made some nice money. He can probably throw some money into some investments & start up a business or two & he'll be setup for the rest of his days. Thats what we should all aspire to if we aren't currently in that position. Good for him. Wish him well outside of boxing.

I don't know. I mean I think he had one or two good more wins before he declines. Either way better to retire a little early than a little late in this game. Good for him. And you're right it clears up a spot on the top ten in the division.

maidana seemed to only be in it for the money grab lol he got to floyd broke his neck to only fight him twice now hes done?? it shows u floyd is the bowser/shang tsung of this game. once you reach him win or lose its over!

No suprise

Was hoping to see Broner take another beating. A rematch with Victor Ortiz, where chino destroys him again.

But being a daddy & having his ranch, riding horses & shooting guns cool.

Good for Chino.

Damn, Thanks Chino... For such an exciting and surprising career. From stepping stone to giving Floyd a hell of a fight.


It seems like Argentina was just barely heating up... With Maidana possibly leaving, Lucas losing in a disappointing manner, Maravilla retiring last year, and Narvaez losing to Inoue... It seems like a drought. I hope they produce some more world class talent soon, they always bring excitement to the sport.

And who knows how long Narvaez and Matts will continue? All that Argentina has left is Heiland, Chaves, Cuellar, and a couple others.

There ya go! Knew I was forgetting one of the C's. I can't wait til he comes to U.S. soil.

Good to hear a story of a guy get out of the game at the right time. I mean think about it, what else could he really accomplish? He made it all the way to not only one but two fights with Mayweather, which far exceeded any expectations anyone had of him 5 years ago. Hell, people thought he was past his best days around the Alexander fight .

He could have a few more great entertaining fights surely, but if the motivation isn't the same there is no point hanging around and risk hurting yourself. If he's happy with his career and everything he's accomplished and doesn't have the desire to prove anything else, then it's time to leave and move on to a different chapter in his life. Good for him.

Broner will take a gigantic sigh of relief when he hears this news.

highly doubtful hes been trying get rematch ever since broner might be a lot of things but scared of anybody is not one of them to his own detriment

[ramplamp]

Did you even listen to the full interview? He says he isn't in a rush to get back, feels like he reached the pinnacle, and that his family doesn't want him to return, but then goes on to say he plans to come back at 147, Take out Thurman, Brook, rematch Khan at the Wembley, then move up and try to unify 160.

Thanks for clearing this up. I don't speak Spanish so I had to go along with the information I was given in the first post.

Now everyone seems to be failing to acknowledge your post lol. No one actually stops to read, I guess. I just hope when Chino comes back it's against someone he's not *meant* to lose to.
