    i like garcias chances against floyd better than maidanas.

    garcia is an excellent counter puncher and is a much more well rounded fighter than maidana. i'll agree, his inside game needs work...but i think he has enough tools in his chest to make it interesting.

    maidana/floyd is the bigger mismatch.

    Pac has not KOd anyone since the Ariza shakes days, Thurman has real power at WW so it's hard to disagree with Kenny's notion!

    The two are close to being the same level of mismatch. The only reason I say Maidana might do slightly better is his inside game and awkward angles on his punches, but we're talking about minuscule amounts of doing better. Garcia and Maidana are both mismatches, IMO, just one is probably slightly less so than the other. Which is which is arguable. The fact that they are both mismatches really isn't. We still don't even know how Garcia fares at WW. I think he will have a rough time against the top shelf WWs.

    He's right. Pac's KO% is barely above Floyd's. And Floyd is a weak puncher according to many here. Pac doesn't have the skills of Floyd. I can see how Brian came to that conclusion.

    Brian Kenny is a company man now. He's just hyping the Showtime fighters.
