    Ricardo Torres vs Maidana. at 140 ithink this would be Xplosive and would be a real treat.

    But i think Torres has the better power. This is a very interesting match up but Torres is AWOL

    Yeah i think maidana does have the better chin but i think at 140 Torres has to be the hardest banger. Difference is i think Torres folds easier than maidana under pressure. If Torres cant take him out, Maidana will.

    Uh
    Torres didnt fold in that fight people. He got straight head butted.
    Didnt have a chance and got solid smacked in the daze.

    I would take Torres in this mythical showdown.
    Ya'll forget about Torres Vs Cotto ?

    Maidana has a good chin cause ortiz was on his way to be recognized as one of the best bombers around(still is) as for power they are pretty equal ?

    NO WAY I DIDNT FORGET THAT FIGHT IN FACT TORRES HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN ENOUGH CRED FOR COMING VERY CLOSE TO KNOCKING OUT COTTO, AND FOR SOME REASON ALL THE COTTO FANS SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT FIGHT:huh I LIKE TORRES BUT HES A JUST A GUN SLINGER WITH AN AT BEST AVERAGE CHIN. SAME WITH MAIDANA BUT HES GOT A BETTER ONE AND SHOWED LOT OF HUEVOS AGAINST ORTIZ

    Err. I'm not sure Torres is the same fighter he used to be. He fought an unknown guy in Colombia and it wasn't too good. He was losing and was KD'd 3 times, sigh... His corner told him in the 10th (last round) that he needed a KO and he got it.

    I'm just speculating but he might have lost motivation and didn't train too much after his unlucky loss to Holt and after the third fight was canceled.

    Torres moved to 147.

    Imagine if he and Pacquiao fought...

    Torres gets killed. I saw a bit of his last fight. Unless what I said is true, and maybe he didn't train, then I don't think he has a chance in hell. I saw a little bit of it in a Colombian news show I'm from the city where Torres is from (live in US now though). It was a crazy fight it seems. He KD'd the other guy 3 times in the final round and won. Pinzon has 15 Kos in his 16 wins and it was at a 154 limit, wtf. So maybe that affected him. He was probably out of shape and didn't train and fought at that weight? :think
