Why no habla Maidana?

[CFH]

Dirrell is a shit actor, why can't he just be a man and get up like a man and fight instead of rolling round like... oh wait... wrong thread

I have a thing or two to tell you about PEDs.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is ducking Ricky Hatton.

I love watching Maidana fight. He's a limited fighter with porous defense and a great chin, but he's got a ton of heart, a ton of power, and I get the impression he'd fight his own grandma if he could gather a half-dozen people to watch it. He's going to keep building up his name and the big guys will be forced to fight him at some point.

The fight against Cayo was very interesting. Watching Maidana deal with a fast-handed, awkward, and defensively competent fighter (albeit an unproven one) only increased my opinion of him. The body shot that ended the fight was deadly.

Unfortunately, I think he'll be exposed by the elite of 140, but with his power anything is possible, especially against a guy like Khan. I think Alexander and Bradley would absolutely dominate him though.

That body shot was brutal watching Cayo trying to stretch out the pain was very telling.

I think Bradley and Alexander beat him but he's got a puncher's chance against both. The longer it went on, the closer he'd be getting to them. The Cayo fight was like the Ortiz fight in that it took him a few rounds to get his range but once he did he was landing massive punches. If he could walk through everything Bradley and Alexander threw at him he'd eventually start landing on them too but I'd still pick them over him. I think he beats everybody else at 140, Khan included.

porque no puedo hablar español

maidana could be following the footsteps of pacquiao. limited exciting fighter as a start.

Poor Cayo, a flawed yet talented fighter who had a ton of heart, he was gone in the last round. Maidana never panicked, he attacked smartly and crudely at the same time if that's possible, and he got the job done. Cayo was going to be put away soon in that fight, the body shot was just perfect icing on the cake though. Even though Cayo isn't the same caliber as Ortiz imo, I think it was as good if not better of a performance.

[Nameless]

For the moment, Maidana seems on a super roll, limited abilities perhaps but it seems that he has enough of everything to flat down some of the top guys. Not sure if he'll ever be a greatness but he really deserve some high profile fights and as it has been said here, peoples won't be able to duck him eternally.

Iv'e not seen him fight yet but that comment has me thinking of Mayorga for some reason

[Hunter]

Maidana is definitely a good fighter, but I dont think you can take too much away from the Cayo TKO. Cayo just seemed way to green in there and would have gotten dominated by any top 140. Maidana would take too many shots from Bradley, but I guess he always has that punchers chance....

[Majesty]

from what I saw Saturday, Kahn would outbox him and maybe stop him. With as many openings as he has and the times he gets tagged with the way Khan fights now I could see him beating him.

[Hulk]

I like Maidana and that was an exciting fight and a good win over an undefeated fighter.

But that said, I mean how hard is it to KO a dumbass who doesn't keep his hands up...like...at all ?

Cayo kept his hands at his waist the entire fight and had absolute SHIT defense.
