I'm not saying I'm picking Maidana or even that I think Floyd ISN'T going to win a lopsided decision.

What I'm saying is that Maidana is a world class prizefighter with big punching power and an incredibly aggressive style and he's not going to beat himself. Floyd's going to have to go in there and work for it. These guys aren't coming in to make Floyd look good, they're coming in to cash in a lottery ticket and dethrone the biggest name in the sport.

On paper does this look like another lopsided decision for Floyd? Sure. But I don't like hearing people talking about "easy" wins, especially with a guy like Maidana.

People were saying the same shit about Maidana when they announced he was fighting Broner. People were accusing Broner of cherry-picking Maidana to look good. Maidana is a rough customer.
