    How can Pac duck him when he is to small?:patsch

    Mayweather is bigger than Pac and ran from Martinez

    Pacquiao will handle Maidana with no problem just like how he handled Cotto, Margarita, and Mosley.

    Pacquiao is TBE and you will find out the hard way when he knocks out your #Mancrush Froid Mayweather Saturday

    Bradley = Better than Maidana - Cruises to UD
    Algieri = Not as good as Maidana - Loses a UD with a knockdown or 2
    Rios = Just as good as Maidana. Maidana is a better boxer but a worse brawler. I see Rios dropping Maidana in a slugfest.

    Let me ask you something: Other than Pacquiao, who are the other "fast" fighters Floyd didn't fight?

    And people say Floyd only fights sluggers, and should fight a pure boxer or a technical fighter. But Pacquiao isn't a pure boxer.

    Losses to
    Kotelnik
    Khan
    Alexander
    Morales

    Dropped by Ortiz, Khan, and Josesito (or JSK, I forget).

    Beat Broner (so..he did what Malignaggi and PDL did)
    Vs

    Algieri has beaten Provodnikov.
    Bradley has beaten Alexander, Peterson, Provodnikov, and JMM.

    Rios is not very good (I have never rated Alvarado).

    I think Algieri, Provodnikov, and Bradley would dominate Maidana.

    Maidana vs. Rios would be awesome, and I favor Rios based on being able to put Maidana down without going down himself.

    Maidana is too much of a fighter for Algieri. He would walk through him like he's wet toilet paper. Maidana mixes in too much boxing for Rios and his power would eventually stop him. Bradley has too much heart for his size and would take a frightful beating from Maidana. Today's Maidana spells nothing but pain and misery for those gentlemen.

    Does this means Bradley is going to be an ATG because he beat Pac? If Floyd lose Saturday, does Bradley rank higher because a Pac win is better than anything Floyd has done?

    Maidana was more of a threat then all three of those fighters, because he had what none of three didn't, and that's power. He also had and awkward style, to add heat to his power. Pac avoided anybody with real power after his KO by Marquez. Bradley and Algeri KO record combine is less then Floyd KO record, and he's known by some haters as a pillow puncher. Rios on the other hand, is a fighter that is very limited. A fighter who comes in head first, with poor head movement and defense. Maidana F 40 KO 31 to Bradley Ko 12 and Algeri KO 8 Maidana clearly was the better opponent.

    Rios have ok power, but he's also a very limited fighter as I stated. Lack of head movement and defense, is easy takings for a guy like Pac. This is why Rios was chose in the first place, because his style made Pac look good.
