i do think that floyd will stand in front of maidana because he is very easy to counter. in my mind, this fight should be a 10:1 odds type of fight. i just dont see how maidana wins it. we have seen multiple times that he has problems with speed. he is the exact style of fighter where counter punchers like floyd look their best. maidana goes for broke with every punch and will get countered hard in the first few rounds and then stop throwing punches just like everybody else he fights.

i say it over and over but its true. there is a reason why people dont throw many punches against floyd. its because he hurts them with a counter and then they realize that they cant just jump in there wildly and throw a bunch of punches. thats why they usually stand back and try to box even though its pointless because they know that they will get KO'd the other way.
