Maidana has more fire and passion than Manny. Maidana is fighting like its the most important event in his life. Manny looks like he has lost the passion and is just fighting for a cheque now.
If Mayweather still absolutely refuses to fight Pacquiao Pacquiao should fight Chino to make a statement.
And scare him off some more? Besides Pac has already done that. Pac-Cotto, Floyd-Cotto. Pac-Hatton, Floyd-Hatton. Pac-DLH, Floyd-DLH. EVen Mosley Pac put on his ass. Floyd got that JMM fight down.
if you don't have the counterpuching skills and iron chin of jmm, dont stand in front of pac or he will rearrange your face!
Chino was able to go HAM on Floyd because he knew he didn't have to respect Mayweather's power, especially with those orthopedic pillow gloves he was so insistent on being used by both parties. Accurately counter punched by Floyd? Sure, lots of times. Hurt by Floyd? Not even once. PAC has kept his power through the weights, though arguably lost a little bit power, but still one of the harder hitting WW's out there, as well as one of OR the fighters at that weight. Couple that with his great movement, feints and setups, plus his boxing skills...it's not hard to see Manny winning this convincingly.
You do know that Pacquiao was just going for the kill and ran in to Marquez's counter right? Pacquiao will be too quick for Maidana and will beat him up for 12 rounds like Rios, Margarito, Clottey etc.
Floyd can't punch. Pacquiao hits are damaging and maidana will look like a E.T. Phone home. But on his back!!!
