I got no problem with Maidana saying JLC beat Floyd in the 1st fight. Hell, a lot of nikkas think that. shyt was a close fight that could have went either way.
The problem is dude is comparing himself to an all around superior boxer and acting like he can replicate that same success.
Castillo is a wayyyy better fighter than Maidana with a wayyy better career. Better technique, better defense, better body punching, just better everything. JLC was the only dude capable of using that pressure style effectively against Mayweather because he's built for that and has always fought that way. These new nikkas can't even cut off the ring like Castillo, but they wanna use his style to beat dude..
If Maidana was capable of fighting like JLC he wouldn't have gotten schooled by Alexander in a fight where he wasn't even competitive in the least. Yeah he beat Lopez, Broner and Soto Karass, but all those dudes had some good moments in their fights and were competitive.
I mean if you wanna sell a Floyd fight, go ahead. If you think you can land a big punch cool. You think you can make a decent fight out of it cool, but don't start bringing up other nikkas names like you can do what they did when you haven't shown that you're capable of doing that shyt before. Like I'm supposed to believe Maidana is going to magically turn himself into a prime JLC for one night only.
Why don't you do that for the Broner rematch first.
