He should get his own wing in the HOF.:good

 

Who would you like to see him fight next Ippy?

 

Ippy
haven't seen much of maidana how would you rate him against Tzsyu who would have to be the hardest puncher i have seen at 140

 

I know its not directed at me...

Tszyu had greater one punch power. Maidana's power is a bit over stated...he is a cumulation type puncher, more than one punch ko power. Heavy hands no doubt but kostya had more one punch pop.

Edit: i may have misread the question. Tszyu by stoppage. Marcos is too wide and crude for tszyu. Kostya wouldn't have a problem landing but he'd know he is in a fight early. Maidana starts fast but gets stopped somewhere around 7 or 8.

 

thanks guys

wil have to try and get a hold of this last fight and have a look

 

if he got a draw and oly 4 points with that eye i would be going straight back as i am sure by the sounds a re match would be a big Dollar fight for him I must say however that just saw that maidana beat demarcus corley so a real bright light in my eyes corley is a real ***** so glad must get that fight as well

 

My word. I had maidana winning, only because he swept the last two rds. But i would have no problem with a draw or win for erik. It was an awesome fight, their styles suit each other, both guys thought they won and talked about a rematch during the interviews.

As you said, keep erik away from guys with speed and he can still compete. Outside maidana, barrera and marquez are the other options. Even though jmm messed erik around, its a logical fight since morales craves to win a fourth title.

 

Exactly. And just as important as having two eyes, morales' punches hurt maidana more than the other way around. Marcos had to fight through a heap of pain to get the win. Tough boy.

The corley fight isnt one of maidana's best. The cross dresser gave him problems.

 

as long as the ***** got beat thats all I care about

 

Maidana looked alot better in this fight than he did against Khan, he has either improved from the Khan fight or Morals was making him look good, id like to see a rematch and have Morales fighting with two eyes and see how it goes, would be intresting and another great fight.

 

I doubt he improved after khan. Amirs style is hard for maidana to look good against. Khan moves and fights with distance. Erik is slower of hand and foot and is willing to stand and trade. So that suits maidana. Suits eric too....rematch!
