Could Keith Thurman kick Marcos Maidana's ass?

[285Kid]

Yes , his younger with better legs

[punchr]

Fight I really wanted to see.

Maybe it can still be made at 154 in the future.

But Maidana seems done.

It would have ended in a KO for sure.

Hey bro didn't maidana duck him when thurman was coming up on hbo??

I still think maidana woulda beaten thurman badly

Same here. I think Thurman won't be able to evade Maidana's strong offense.

I always thought Thurman would beat Maidana without too much trouble. Porter is a better and harder fight for Thurman I think.

Maybe if he caught him early otherwise I see it as a win for Maidana. Thurman doesn't have the experience or skills to beat a motivated, in-shape Maidana. He does, however, have the power to land a fight-ending punch.

Maidana would outbox him. Although I can see Thurman's foot movement giving Chino problems. But once Maidana gets close to Thurman he would f*** him up badly.

Id favor Maidana if he was still active. Otherwise a pick em fight.

Maidana's boxing style requires a lot of motivation. Mike Tyson said this, too.

Maidana's style and wit could thump anyone on a good night imo.

Excellent post.

He turned down the fight when Maidana's trainer had just died and he was coming off a loss to Devon Alexander. Maidana said he wanted to retire but his team asked him for 1 more fight, specifically a tune-up and Haymon tried using Maidana as a stepping stone so Contursi (Maidana's manager) found out what Haymon was trying to do and he cancelled the fight. It wasn't Maidana himself.

Wow, great informative post! I would give you green k but I have to spread some around first.

It would be a hell of a fight, and in-shape and motivated might weather the early storm and possibly make Thurman fold in the later rounds. Or Thurman hurts Maidana and takes him out.

The only thing that Thurman has is power... everything else is overrated.

They were scheduled to fight each other in Thurman's HBO debut. Maidana pulled out and said he was being set up to take a loss.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Thurman cant hang with Maidana. Dude runs from c level punchers and gets hurt by d level fighters.

Maidana ducked Thurman already.

2012: Comments Thread For: Team Maidana Reject Thurman Fight: Explain The Issue

To me particularly, and not just me, nobody liked the idea because the truth is Thurman is a guy who’s really a super welterweight.

We told Golden Boy that we didn’t want the fight. We want a tuneup. Is that a tuneup? All big name fighters take tune ups. And when they do tuneups, do they do them against a 17-0 opponent with 16 knockouts and a super welterweight?” asked Contursi as he referred to the 5’11 Thurman.

Team Maidana:

He 154 doe.

He 17-0 doe.

He tall doe.


Maidana fans:

Maidana beat him doe.

[BrometheusBob.]

I'll have a more informed opinion after he fights Porter.

[Southpawology]

Soto karass had thurman hurt bad maidana could easily do the same. Thurmans a solid fighter but not invincible

[HanzGruber]

Too bad the Marcos that fought Floyd was a one fight thing. Even though broner got knocked down a few times he still fought back and win rounds. This woulda been a great fight. But chino rather wear Versace silk shirts and sleep in box cars lol
