In Maidana's case I'm not sure, after all Maidana did beat up his bud, Mr Broner. I don't think anyone will ever know, for sure, what is going on in Floyd's mind but this time he might be thinking about a humiliating KO of Maidana.
Every fight is different and floyd has shown to fight accordingly. With Southpaws for instance, he walks them down behind a high guard and fights very aggresively.

I know the gatti fight was years ago but he was all offense in that one because he knew nothing was going to come back at him. Is Maidana any better than Gatti? I doubt it.

Same thing against mosley. Floyd getting rocked probably had triggered his aggression but he knew mosley was a one trick pony which was why he got into offensive mode.

There is no reason why floyd wouldn't face maidana with the same mindset.

Floyd will be very aggressive in this fight, aiming for the KO.
Look, first of all I agree with everything you said but Floyd has to realize that, even though Broner set himself up for his big fall, he is not without some defensive skills, fast hands and that Maidana took him to school while spanking him all the way there.
What I'm trying to say is that Maidana is not a plodding dunce without defensive skills of his own especially early in the fight. I think Floyd has a good chance to take Maidana out late if that's what he wants.
