Maidana can punch. But by no means is he the hardest puncher Mayweather has faced. I wouldn't even put him in the top 5. But aside from Emmanuel Augustus he might be the most unorthodox. He throws punches from anywhere. If I tried hard enough I can maybe see him hurting Mayweather with a punch he doesn't see coming. But it wouldn't matter. Mayweather's defensive instincts would kick in. And that little window Maidana has would quickly close. The mistake Mayweather made would not be repeated. And the one-sided fight would continue it's predictable course.
