Maidana isn't a terrific athlete, but he is probably now much craftier than Porter or Thurman are, I wouldn't be confident either of those guys would improve on his success against Floyd just because they are more explosive.

Imagine if Floyd had never fought Canelo, would anyone not think he'd lose that fight were it being discussed today? Alvarez is more powerful than any of these guys, and it meant zilch. I would love to see Floyd fight Porter or Thurman though, and wouldn't favour him by much, don't get me wrong.
