Maidana did struggle a bit against Soto Karass who is a bigger man and has an iron will.

Like others have said Maidana just does NOT belong at welterweight, he beat Soto Karass because Karass is a fringe contender and Maidana is a former World Title holder.

His class shined through despite it being the wrong weight for him.
@Hulk - although Robert Garcia is adding wrinkles to Maidana's game that might make it possible to be somewhat effective at welterweight. I agree, however, his ideal weight class is junior welterweight. I hope the rumors are not true that Canelo is considering facing Maidana at 154.
Was a cracker while it lasted, a few more fights under Garcia and Maidana could well improve a lot, fighting Canelo at 154 is suicide though, 140 is Maidanas best wieght where he could clean the division out.
