Unless Maidana can lose about 30 pounds or so, he will either fight at anywhere above LH or retire for good. But a fight with Porter would not be a fight, but it would be a death match.... Ambulance on standby, a non-engaging referee who stays out of the picture and two good hype men who know how to sell a fight because both of those guys are dry as hell to listen to. Maidana speaks poor english and Porter is too nice.
lolololol....
Death match lol
It would be a rough and tough fight as all of Porter's fights are, unless he is fighting a superior boxer who can stay on the outside or in the center of the ring consistently.
In his prime, I'd give Maidana a good chance with his punching power. 50/50 fight, really. Porter is very aggressive, very tough, very busy, and very, very dirty. Headbutter extradonairre.
Porter isn't a brawler. That's the problem. He doesn't make fights exciting. I'm not as hard on him as others are, but a match between those two would probably end up in an early technical draw because of head butting.
Porter isn't a "Brawler"?? You're joking, right?Quote:

He is more of a bruiser. Have you ever seen him in a brawl? I've seen him in many fights and he never really brawls. His fight vs Thurman was good but it wasn't a brawler type fight. He smothers himself too much to brawl.Quote:

The way he did Paulie was brutal. I think I saw Paulie cry in the ring during the barrage... It was just simply an unfiar fight. lolololololol....Quote:

I think Rios gets the short end of that stick. In the short term during the fight and long after...Quote:

Didn't do bad against Floyd though, did he?Quote:

He was a dirty fighter though and whilst it's funny to see him rough up Broner
It's not so funny watching him hit an old legend like Morales on the break.
Thanks for the welcome and the rep whatever that does ;D
I'd favour Shawn Porter quite comfortably in this fight.
maidanas power is abit over rated. He landed his best shots flush on amir Khan for 12 rounds and couldn't drop him once. His best win was broner who porter also beat but had the disadvantage of a catchweight.
the stoppage win over Ortiz was also repeated by lazcano, berto, collazo and Floyd and none of those guys were renowned big hitters.
porter had the physical strength to take maidanas heart like Devon Alexander did IMO.
Don't worry Master will chase him off, he hates newbies just look at what he done to Paul Kevin.Quote:

GaMo is not a fan of Floyd so he is ok. :)
Was a huge fan of Morales but seem to remember him fighting dirty and that was before he even walked into the ring for Garcia 2 :-XQuote:

rep is past around using the 'star' at the bottom left of another members window to send short messages, links or info. It can be approving rep or negative rep. Awesome feature
I like Floyd and hope he destroys McGregor in a few weeksQuote:

And I don’t think he was a career long cheat
I reckon he was just an old man trying to get an edge.
Morales was master class and a true professional and no one ever mistook Maidana as a Mr. nice guy in the ring. Honestly that fight was classic and could have flipped a coin for winner. Morales was warned for low blows more than once in career. Think one was Raheem that looked near intentional but can't really say I blame him vs a guy running track. His pride got better of him after Bobby Boy ko as he stood over a concussed beaten fighter smiling and posing for photos also. Garcia should have been embarrassed acting like he beat 'the' Morales in that ko. That fight should have been scraped firstly because it was a farce and secondly for the dirty test. Had it not been for promotion last minute lobbying and winks and nods it would have been.Quote:
