Is this a real question? How many times has Maidana been blasted out in a round by a random Asian nobody's ever heard of? You really want to compare resumes between these two fighters?
Yep, Kirkland has an Embarrassing 1st Round KO Loss, but that Bout was @ 160...More Importantly, Ann Wolfe WASN'T in the Corner that Night...He's NEVER Lost a Fight w/Wolfe in his Corner & that Can't Be Minimized... What's Maidana's Excuse for Getting FOLDED Like a Card Table, from a Bodyshot by Amir Khan???...The SAME Amir Khan Some of Ya'll have Been Denigrating Since Forever...The Same CHINNY Amir Khan the "Puncher" Maidana NEVER Even Dropped, Nevermind Stopped... Why Wouldn't REED Want to Compare Resumes???...They ARE Comparable...If Kirkland's a "Bum", Maidana Damn Sure Is... REED:hammert:
Yep... Maidana Doesn't Strike REED as the Type to Fight Effectively in RETREAT Mode, Which he'd Be In From Round 1...Kirkland Gets Him Outta There in 3-5 Rounds... REED:hammert:
Cdogg wants to call Angulo unprepared for Kirkland, yet says nothing about the OBVIOUS shit shape that Kirkland was in against Ishida. Kirkland is a better fighter than Maidana when he's at his best. That's not saying much, they're both pretty mediocre fighters. I'd rather see Kirkland fight Floyd than Maidana. Neither one of them has any shot in Hell at actually beating Floyd, but Kirkland would force more out of Floyd.
Exactly... REED Certainly AIN'T Hyping Kirkland, but there's NOfuckingWAY he's WORSE than Maidana...If Kirkland's a 'Bum', they BOTH Are...For Whatever Reason, Maidana's Become the "Flavor of the Month" Around this Bitch & it's COMPLETELY Unwarranted...All this NONSENSE about his "Improvements" & his Ability to "Challenge" Floyd is a Fucking JOKE...As If he's a "Subtle Scientist" or Something... If REED Didn't Know Better, he'd SWEAR Double L Hacked Some Accounts... REED:doh:
If they were the same size, I'd be fairly confident of Maidana winning. He seems more solid and less vulnerable.
Based On???... Getting DROPPED a Handful Times by Ortiz, Khan FOLDING him w/the Bodyshot???...Maidana's the Quintessential "Easy to Hurt, HARD to Finish" Sort...He's NOT Hard to Hurt @ All, Really... This Recent LOVEFEST w/Marcos Maidana is COMICAL...@ BEST, he's a James Kirkland Level Fighter... REED:hammert:
I agree with you, he's easy to hurt, but solid/tough/gutsy enough to overcome it and recover. There's a reason why he's never been stopped despite facing pretty decent competition. Plenty of guys are easy to hurt or knockdown, but if they recover it's not that big a deal. Tito for example. So basically - based on Kirkland getting bounced off the canvas and stopped in a round by a gangly, light punching Japanese fighter, and Maidana not, I conclude that Maidana is more solid and less vulnerable ::
If Anything, the Ishida Makes Makes them ANALOGOUS... The Ishida Fight was Stopped Because of the 3 Knockdown Rule, NOT Because Kirkland was Flat on his Back, Semi-Concious...Not to Mention the Ann Wolfe Factor... Is there ANYONE that Thinks Ishida Hits HARDER than Angulo or Joel Julio or Bryan Vera???...REED Doesn't... Kirkland Took their Best & FINISHED them All...The Ann Wolfe Factor... BOTH Men Can Be Hurt & Dropped... REED:hammert:
REED Isn't Even Saying Kirkland's BETTER, Per Se...But if Kirkland's a "BUM", Maidana's 1 Also... There's NO Appreciable Skill, Talent OR Resume Edge that Maidana Has Over Kirkland, which Makes him CLEARLY a Better Fighter, Dude... REEDhno:
ishida stopped kirkland because kirkland had recently got out of prison and was having sex with everyone
maidana is a hungry lion and if he fights Floyd we all have to consider that Floyd is getting old and inactivity HAS to play a part.. basically IF.. and that's a big IF I know.. IF Maidana fights floyd.. you have to admit that Floyd is A) a natural lightweight.. better suited for lightweight but moved up to get fights B) Older than the hills and inactivity makes it HIGHLY UNLIKLY that he could perform at a high level C) too much time off... he has to be rustier than a unfinished metal dildo on a beach in southern cali IF this fight happens... it would be VERY AMAZING and borderline IMPOSSIBLE if Floyd won
Wow Maidana is becoming EXTREMELY UNDERRATED here He is FAST! he is super strong and he has SKILLZ Floyd better train right for this one
