Can he still make weight to whup Crawford and Spence?
He is a good game fighter and a pleasure to watch but he wasn't that great. Look at some of the loses to guys like Alexander and Khan who were no where near as good as Crawford and Spence. I doubt a prime Maidana could beat either of them and I am sure this old Maidana can't beat them.
He turns 37 next month and hasnt fought in 6 years.
Shot RJJ was more ripped than this, that doesnt mean much. Ok good step for a fat guy but he aint coming back to the top. He could do a cash out fight though more power to him if he wants to get a check.
He wont make 147 without it being a detriment to his health and performance. He was already blowing up 20 pounds the day of the fight when he fought Broner years ago.

If I had to guess, Id say no way hes coming back to 147 even if hes ripped.
I must say I feel honored of being taken so seriously by you guys.
How in the world could Maidana, after years away from boxing and having gained so much weight in the meantime, have a shot in defeating Spence and Crawford?
That was just irony. There are many people around here who still think Maidana could come back and kick most everybody's ass. Not me, though I loved to watch him fight, and still consider his thrashing of Broner one of my favorite nights in boxing.
