The guy has gone from an unknown to forum celeb since Sat night, his name is everywhere and I feel bad starting another hypothetical thread, but I just couldn't hold it in.

Maidana is from the slums, he grew up with nothing and has got to this title shot a long way around and through some tough obstacles.

My wondering is, if Maidana (past or future) was given better quality training, gym equipment and so on. Could he go on to beat the current crop? Because the thing I love about Maidana is his rawness, that pure fighter style he has. He comes to fight and brawl.

With better training would it have hampered him, or would he be more all rounded and more of a force?

He grew up on a farm and was taught to box by goats, considering that, the boy has done pretty good.
