Really? I got love for “SexySergio” too (no Diddy) Sure Maidana had an ugly style to match his looks. But that old school tenacity & hard grit trench digging style of work man effort didn’t do it for an old school guy like yourself? that is suprising! unless I got you wrong…. What are your opinions of Arturo Gatti & Mickey Ward? I put EL CHINO up there with those guys at least style / ability wise. Would love to see a fantasy tournament bout between them 3 play out.
Of course I love Gatti and Ward. Actually it has nothing to do with his style, there's just something about his personality that annoys me and turns me off. Of course I'll be eternally grateful towards for his humbling of Broner, and his stellar performance against Mayweather. But he was just too inconsistent and personally unlikable for me to ever fully hop on the bandwagon of. That and I thought he got a gift over Morales which annoyed me greatly.
I never liked Maidana or his hideous fighting style either. I am also still annoyed to this day that Morales was robbed.
Considering he was pretty much forced to fight the Charlo rematch injured after getting robbed in the first fight he may not be the same again.
