    if he had Robert Garcia training him them....

    I think the Maidana that beat Broner definitely beats Khan, and even that Maidana would have stopped Khan had it not been for Joe Cortez's terrible refereeing...

    I think he would have beaten Alexander with a little more savvy. I guess Garcia would have showed him how to deal with the clinching better, how to turn him and cut the ring off, all things he didn't do....

    How do y'all feel?

    According to 95% of the people here (people who dksab), everyone with a decent punch WOULD have beaten Khan.

    No Maidana would not have beaten either, both box too well.

    I hate describing fights like this but the Devon fight was a one sided beat down, it was a clear 12-0 fight. The only way Maidana can beat a very skilled boxer is if he can land some bombs because skills wise, he can't match the elite boxers.

    In rematches I'd take Maidana over Kahn and Alexander over Maidana again

    Yep, but in 2014 at WW Maidana looks like he could win this time but hard to say unless they actually fight again.

    devon is just a horrible style for Maidana, he would do better this time because he would actually try to fight out of clinches and be in shape but can't say he wins for sure. Devon favorite again for me.
