For someone who the world deemed as an extremely slow unintelligent plodder, I say he did pretty well vs the best defensive fighter of all time. He actually did really well vs Floyd in their 1st bout, although to a losing effort. Far better than the fight we got yesterday.
he only did well because Floyd "chose" to stand toe 2 toe with maidina at points in the first fight. he didnt with manny, gave him more respect.
Maidana lost every round to Devon Alexander. Pac should have been more active last night, when he was Floyd didn't know what to do. Floyd was like a fish out of water when Pac unleashed.
No, he fought the same way except Maidana was overwhelming him with volume, something Pacquiao promised to do and didn't.
floyd was in a fight when he and maidana went at it. He looked like he was in a glorified sparring match last night. I don't even think the man really broke a sweat. I could of did better than manny last night
Styles make fights. When Pacquiao fans would use Maidana as an example of why Manny would trouble Floyd, I'd laugh. Maidana is longer than Pac, bigger than Pac, actually has a decent jab to enable him to work his way inside and is a much better in-fighter. ^If you refuse to understand the above, you're hopeless^
no, floyd "chose" to make the first fight entertaining in spots he knows he had madinas number if he purely outboxed him which he did in the second, this is how floyd fooled the public in to making the rematch, ask anyone who has boxed a lot.
Pac is straight up the middle Maidana is over top his head around the guard biting knees But has longer reach and taller then manny Floyd fight with pac was a style issue after Judah' pac couldn't hurt him
maidana also was never constantly drained blood. he never staggered floyd. shots were grazing but scoring blows. and he was not against a juiced to the guills floyd. apples and oranges.
That's because Floyd massively underestimated Maidana in the 1st fight. That's what gave us a more open, more exciting fight. As soon as Floyd takes a fighter seriously he puts on a disciplined defensive masterclass.
