    He destroyed and dropped an undefeated much taller fighter 6 times, Algeri was a world champion and Manny crucified him while Floyd struggled with a slow uncoordinated bum in Maidana. Algeri would outbox Mayweather and Manny toyed with him. Manny Pacquiao will make history and win a 5th lineal title in a record 8 divisions.:hi:

    That isn't what is showed at all, I don't think.

    It showed that when Algieri lacks a speed advantage over his opponent (which he possessed over Provodnikov and Taylor) and is facing world class power (which Provodnikov has, and Taylor's borderline) he gets beaten up.

    It also further confirmed what Bradley II indicated (but which cruising against Rios did little to say about), that Pacquiao wasn't ruined by Marquez IV. He still isn't prime or close to it, though, any more than Mayweather is.

    lol

    but Floyd fans will harp on and on that Maidana is an elite fighter, a big strong monster, blah, blah, blah.

    Maidana lost to Devon alexander who Bradley beat rather easily and Manny kinda cruised against Bradley. Of course, none of this matters and Maidana is a BEAST ETC...

    Robert Garcia himself called Maidana 'limited' and he's the trainer!

    I bet Pacquiao's last 3 opponents could beat Maidana. When pacquiao destroyed Rios, Floydoids laughed and called Rios a joke. Well, Rios vs Maidana would be a blood bath, i wouldn't be at all surprised if Rios KO's Maidana... Rios killed Alvaro, who gave JMM a tough fight. Algieri, on the other hand, would probably outbox Maidana... Algieri showed how tough he is when he beat Provodnikov, showed he has a strong chin and can box. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Agieri schools Maidana dn Rios KO's Maidana. As far as Bradley is concerned, he would most likely dominate Maidana...

    Floyd struggled vs Maidana guys and Maidana is no better than Rios or Algieri, who Manny KILLED. Granted, styles make fights and you could argue Maidana's brawling style is difficult for Floyd but what does this tell us? That a limited fighter with ZERO defense can trouble Floyd by simply using caveman tactics of simply attacking? I mean, Floyd really really REALLY didn't look good in his last two fights.... Did he purposefully make it close? i'm not sure, but Manny has looked much better after the JMM KO.

    Nobody calls Maidana elite, not even his fans.

    Algieri never belonged in there with Pac. Pac is not prime, but he is not shot either.

    I bet Agieri beats Maidana... faster, more technical, shows he's tough and can take punches.....

    but Floydoids call him a joke and also call Rios a joke, which is kinda funny. These guys are jokes just because Manny absolutely destroyed them..

    Maidana is in same category as Algieri or Rios..

    Floyd really should've fought Khan but he avoided that like the plague
