What does this say about Maidana.

According to Pac's fans logic: Maidana > Pacquiao

 

Maidana is a big, strong 160+ lb boxer on fight night. Manny pacquiao isn't.

From the 6th round on in their first fight, Mayweather adjusted and made pretty easy work of Marcos. But his aggressive inside fighting style coupled with him being able to keep mayweather pinned on the ropes for long periods of time allowed him to have a good deal of success in the first half of their first fight.

 

Right now Maidana might very well be a better fighter right now.

Pacquiao is a featherweight aggressive fighter. Most of those types of boxers are washed up by 31-32.

 

It says Maidana's camp knew they had no chance of winning those fights but at least they made it look good. Floyd intentionally hanging on the rope waiting for the sparring sessions to be over while occasionally standing in the middle of the ring and dinging Maidana's head.

 

The Maidana that fought Floyd is a dangerous opponent for anybody.

 

We need to reassess where Pac stands in the current generation. He's been sheltered by Top Rank and most of his fights have been orchestrated by waiting on the sideline waiting for a name to lose then drain em.

In legitimate challenges he hasn't fared well. JMM 4X. One could argue about who won/loss those. Nothing decisive except KTFO6! Floyd made easy work of JMM then Pacquiao. Morales past his prime beat Manny. The only real challenge Manny won decisively is Barrera I. I'll give him Bradley I too.
