    :huh people picking him to beat bradley :huh the same guy Kotelnik had walking into 50 jabs a round, tagged at will by Cayo, struggle mightily against Corley, and couldn't put away a Khan reeling like a drunk?

    He's not overrated but people saying a limited fighter like him would beat Bradley are being ignorant.

    I think Bradley is too disciplined for Maidana, that'd be an action fight with Bradley being the smarter, the man with more in the tank simply.

    Maidana could grind out a stoppage against some of the more defensively flawed fighers like Devon Alexander, as a matter of fact.. Maidana - Alexander would be a hell of a fight.

    Maidana is a world class fighter and a rare gem for us boxing fans.

    Why not just enjoy him, bro?

    He's given the credit he warrants. I don't think he's overrated.

    Loses to Alexander in my opinion.

    I will perhaps say Saul Alvarez or even Khan. I know I will get chew by some posters. If anything Maidana keeps surprising me with his minimal skills and basically a fighter just with power giving fighters trouble and being able to win rounds is surprising.

    I dont think he would beat Bradley but I wouldnt rule him out, not with his power at the weight.

    I showed Khan-Maidana to my father, and my father kept pointing out that Maidana was a sloppy mess with a sturdy chin and an iron will, paired with above average power.

    "That Maidana sure can FIGHT, he can't box for ****, but he can fight"

    IMO Bradley's more over rated than Maidana.
