Thread: Maidana's Toughest Fight

Personally I think Morales gave him a tougher fight than Floyd.

Khan did a good job out boxing him but really was in survival mode last few rounds.
Morales made Marcos earn that fight.with that said, i think that victory was more exhausting than any of his losses.
In fact Morales looked better in defeat than broner or Floyd in victory.

Over all: 40 fights ain't much-but Marcos Maidana has credible resume.

Even though it was a 6th round TKO victory, I'd go with Victor Ortiz. Dropped 3 times HARD, took a lot of punishment and really gutted it out like a champ (something that Ortiz couldn't do) and came back to get the big W.

Maidana was hurt by Khan in the first round with that body shot. It was a good fight because he came back strong.

I agree. Having to come back from those two vicious body shots, that put him down hard, takes some guts. Most guys wouldn't get up from those, never mind have the guy in survival mode in the last few rounds. But the Morales fight is up there as well and I had a tough time deciding between the two.

Good call, missed that one but left other as an option.
