If a trainer told you based on the last 24 rounds he gives the edge to pacman due to seeing what mayweather did to maidana and what pacquiauo did to rios. Plus he has seen rios and maidana spar with each other during that time frame what would you think? [yt]x4OQxrlXRPM[/yt]
As far as the fave fighter comment, it shows and that's precisely why Mikey along with Miguel Vasquez are 2 of my least favorite Mexican fighters.
Styles make fights, Rios is a slow predictable flat footed fighter. He was a cherry pick for pacquiao. Im from Kansas and I'm a fan of Rios, but I knew and was saying he was a cherry pick from day one. Styles make fights, Maidana is an awkward pressure fighter. He was always going to give Floyd issues if he could press the action, when you attack floyd he goes on defense. So a pressure fighter gives him the most problems by not letting floyd be comfortable and be floyd at his own pace. Styles make fights, pacquiao is not a pressure fighter. He's a in out rapid fire fighter. Pacquiao load combos moves left, loads more combos moves right. He does this well against come forward slow footed opponents. With movers like Bradley he's not getting off as offend as he likes. Hes force to think more and resorts to chasing and lunging in trying to do work. Styles make fights, mayweather isn't rios and Pacquiao isn't Maidana. Its going to be a different fight.
Actually he does his best against back foot single shot counter punchers. That's why he obliterated MAB when he was still very green. It wasn't until the second Morales fight that he learned how to pick apart guys who pressure him. The only counter puncher who has ever given Manny problems is Marquez because he counters form the front foot and he feints Manny's feints.
